Stefan Forster has made more than 80 trips to Greenland, Iceland, Norway and the Faroe Islands, capturing some of the beauty of the Nordic landscapes.

The Swiss photographer has walked hundreds of kilometres and has seen a range of wildlife, including young polar foxes, musk ox families, sea eagles and puffins.



My favorite photo is the one of the aurora borealis, but they are all stunning.

The light in those photos is magic!

Iceland is on my bucket list.

Wonderful - but why are they out of focus?

So far my plan for the Northern Lights is either a cruise up the coast of Norway or a couple weeks in northern Finland. Probably the cruise.

We have been watching a Netflix series called the Valhalla murders. It is set in Iceland. The dialogue is in Icelandic (?) with English subtitles.

It is a good story, and the actors do a good job, but what I keep going back to his how clean and crisp the city is. It is an aesthetic I have not seen before.

I just read this as "Nerdic Islands" and thought I'd found a retirement destination for Quirt and me.

ROTFLMAO
