    Arctic Blog

    Our blog has become an almost daily diary for Arctic Frontier. See the changing seasons, check out the aurora conditions and click on our archive to get an idea of what to expect when you come to Levi.

    We share moments of our lives, some photography tips and reveal the beauty of the Arctic environment that we live in.


    The photographs show the time of season, and most images are taken near the time of the post. The pictures highlight not only the beauty of the Northern Lights, but also the landscape they shine upon. ​
