The Short-tailed Weasel may appear. In the other direction and when waiting for the raptors, you can zoom in on some rare small birds such as the Sibirian Tit.

In the harbour of Vadsø you can both spend some time in another new floating photo hide and a cottage to get great pictures of the large population of Steller's Eider. The floating hide is a specially constructed boat suited for wildlife photography.

Northern Lights and Arctic Light

The Arctic Light is special. In the period February - April the Sun is once again above the horizon. The light waves travelling through a longer part of the atmosphere create a spectacular palette of colours in the sky.
