In the November of 2022 an unusual thing was occurring in the Finnish Lapland: The lakes froze without a snow cover. This made it possible to photograph the aurora with reflections during the winter time. One night in Kilpisjärvi we had a great display with multiple arcs of aurora dancing in the sky. It was a bit spooky walking on the fresh ice cover on the lake as you could see how deep under your feet and the lake was still making sounds as it was freezing.
Dennis is a 29 year old photographer from Finland who started off with astrophotography. Having spent most of his life living in big cities of south Finland he felt depressed not being able to see the night sky properly due to light pollution, so he moved to the small communities in the arctic where dark skies are still a thing. He moves frequently as each new location comes with its own adventures and new possibilities for photography. Dennis wishes to take his adventures to the remote corners of Siberia, Alaska and northern Canada in the future and to learn more about these regions.
