Description

The Milky way over Norway's and Northern Europe's highest peak Galdhøpiggen 2469m. I had to spend the night over 2000 meters to capture this image. At such high altitude, I felt fairly exposed for rapid weather changes, so I had to really step out of my comfort zone and overcome a bit of fear to capture this sequence. I had a hypothesis that the higher you go and the colder it gets, the Milky Way would appear much brighter and clearer. I found this to be true. I’ve never seen the Milky Way like this before. This night is definetely a memory that will stay in my mind forever.

This image is also a time-lapse frame from my video Magical Norway. Watch this clip and many more here: https://vimeo.com/240977816
