Julie Gill, Wild and untamed Lofoten (PLACES WILDERNESS 2024)

Captured in the Lofoten Islands during the fierce Storm Inguun of January 2024, this scene showcases jagged peaks looming over Storvatnet Lake, their sharp silhouettes piercing the storm-laden sky. Menacing, snow-filled clouds churn above, casting an ominous shadow over the landscape, while the lake’s cracked and shifting ice adds a sense of movement and tension, mirroring the raw power of the storm. The scene embodies the wild, untamed beauty of Lofoten’s winter.
