The not very high but mighty Mt.Nuolja is located in #Abisko, #Sweden. In this time lapse sequence it looks quite small and this is due to extreme wide-angle lens. When you actually visit the area you realize it is not so small, especially when you go up on top to the @auroraskystation and look down on the small village of #AbiskoÖstra.
The sequence was shot in extreme wind! Up to 40 m/s on the of 28-02-23.
In some places there are glitches. This is due to tripod being moved by the wind.
The tripod was pushed down in the snow on the lowest most stable sitting imaginable! Legs wide apart and low to the ground…
In one of the corners you can see lens flare caused by small water droplets (rain) and illuminated by the moon.
What you think might be clouds is actually snow blowing off the Mt.#Nuolja.
#Torneträsk or Torne träsk, Saami: Duortnosjávri Finnish and Meänkieli: Tornio or Torniojärvi, is a lake in Kiruna Municipality, #Lapland, #Norrbotten County in #Sweden, in the #Scandinavian mountain range. Träsk is the local word for lake (in Standard Swedish it means “#swamp”). It is the sixth largest lake in Sweden, with a total area of 330 square kilometres (130 square miles) and a length of 70 kilometres (43 miles). The lake drains to the south-east through Torne älv. South-west of the lake lie the Abisko National Park and the #UNESCO World Heritage Site #Laponian area.
Torneträsk originated from the remnant of a #glacier, which has given the lake its depth of 168 metres (551 feet), making it the second deepest lake in Sweden. It is usually ice-covered from December through June, with variations dependent on temperature variations.
Permafrost is common in the land around the lake albeit this low elevation permafrost is disappearing because of global warming and increased snowfall.
During the 1944 Operation Obviate of #WWII, British bombers seeking to destroy the German battleship Tirpiz had their rendezvous over Torneträsk Lake, in violation of Swedish neutrality!!!

This is how it looks when you try to drive a snowmobile and photograph at the same time . #Korvatunturintie #Savukoski #landscape #Savukoski #thisislaplander #visitLapland #FinnishLapland #SamperinSavotta #visitsavukoskikorvatunturi #Lappland #SamperinSavotta #Polar #AbovePolarCircle #Arcticlight #Laponia #ArcticCircle #PolarCircle #FujiFilmNordic #landscape #landscapephotography #raw_nordic #landscape_lovers #sky_captures #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #ic_landscapes #winterlandscape #Finland #WinterWonderland #visitFinland Via: @z.rozanoff

A couple of years ago I went to #Iceland with my friend @ralflukovic. Whenever we travel somewhere, ‘stuff’ has a tendency to happen… Like this #volcano deciding to let off some #steam
