"...a charming, beautiful and extremely aesthetically pleasing travelogue." —Roger Lush, Amateur Photographer
“Stunning photography.” —Outdoor Photography
What does winter look like in the far north? According to the clichés: as dark and cold as a refrigerator. And yet it is precisely in these wintertime months that photographer Michael Königshofer picks up his camera and heads to the Arctic Circle!
In this rich and original photo book, the Scandinavia-savvy Austrian captures much more than the clichéd images of the Northern Lights. With an eye on the coexistence of nature and culture, Königshofer explores how lives are lived in this intense and extreme environment, from the traditional ivory carver in Greenland to the ice surfer in the North Cape. The result is an authentic portrait of Scandinavian life, showing a whole new side to life up north.
Text in English and German.
"Cold enough for you? If not, you could always go on a trip with Michael Konigshofer who has a real penchant for a northern winter. Between 2016 and 2020 he visited Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands (Scotland, too, to be fair) in a bid to experience – and capture in photographs – a true northern winter." - Teddy Jamieson, Herald Scotland
"Showcasing the natural wonders - alongside the people that inhabit them - of the far North (including Scotland), this is a charming, beautiful and extremely aesthetically pleasing travelogue." - Roger Lush, Amateur Photographer
"In spite of claiming to be always cold in spite of multiple socks and the thermostat pushed as far as it can go, Austrian photographer Michael Konigshofer finds it hard to resist the allure of a northern European winter." - Strong Words
