Images brought back from the fjords of Skjervøy: encounters at sea, the winter sky and life in the group.

Twenty seconds below the surface

Filmed during a water entry: a group of orcas passes a few metres away, with nobody moving.

Orcas

Encounters at sea and below the surface.

  • A single orca swimming below the sunlit surface of an Arctic fjord
  • Three orcas travelling side by side in the deep blue water
  • Group of orcas moving together just below the surface
  • Two orcas rising towards the surface in the dark water of the fjord

Northern lights

Clear evenings, when the sky plays along.

  • Green and purple northern lights above a snow-covered mountain near Skjervøy
  • Corona of northern lights overhead, fanning out in green and red

Life on the trip

On board, in the water, and between outings.

  • Participants in drysuits, masks and snorkels on board the rigid inflatable boat
  • Orca diving beneath a participant who stayed at the surface
  • Snorkeller at the surface above an orca rising towards them
