Taken in June at the start of the Arctic Summer on Svalbard, the snow on the mountains around Longyearbyen on Spitsbergen has started to melt and much of the surrounding ground is now covered in melted snow and ice water. Silence and a cloudless sky create a sense of solitude and isolation in this unforgiving and rugged Arctic landscape. The mountain beckons adventurers to explore its rugged terrain and embrace the pure, untouched wilderness. Image taken 8th June 2023 Nikon D780 and Nikon 28-

Svalbard was known as Spitsbergen before 1925 when the name was changed and Spitsbergen now refers to the largest island in the group. More than half of Svalbard is covered in glaciers. These mountains, covered in pristine snow are an untouched, silent and serene landscape near to the major town of Longyearben

Longyerbyen lies 650 miles from the North Pole in Svalbard. It was established as a mining community in 1906 by John Longyear and totally destroyed in WWII by the German Navy. It now has a population of just over 1,000 and relies mainly on scientific research and tourism although some mining and fishing are carried out. Only a small part of the population are long term residents with the average stay in the town being just over 6 years. Picture taken on 8th June 2023 in Longyearbyen town.

A bearded seal taking a rest on the ice flows around the coast of Svalbard in the Arctic. The bearded seal has become something of a redhead because when hungry the seal looks for food on the seabed near the Norwegian island of Svalbard. This is full of iron particles, the particles stick to hair follicles which causes a red and orange colour on the face. Taken near Longyearbyen on 10th June 2023 Nikon D780 and Tamron 150-600mm

Pyramiden (Пирамида Piramida in Russian) is an abandoned Russian settlement and coal-mining community on the archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. Founded by Sweden in 1910 and sold to the USSR in 1927, Pyramiden was closed in 1998, as it was no longer economically viable to maintain it. I visited in 2018 and wanted to make something to remember my visit to this surreal Ghost Town. This vintage design aims to capture the some of the atmosphere of this former home to 1000 people.
