The\u00a0Svalbard\u00a0archipelago lies halfway between northern Norway and the North Pole. A beautiful place any time of year, it is during the summer months when the islands explode with life, especially due the influx of migratory birds.\u00a0 <\/p>

About the photographer<\/h2>\n

Stuart Thomson is a biologist and nature photographer living and working in\u00a0Svalbard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love photographing\u00a0Svalbard. It\u2019s the ever changing conditions; the midnight sun; the polar night; the aurora borealis; the never ending sunsets; the mountains; the glaciers; the fjords; and that magic feeling you get when you\u2019re out there that makes\u00a0Svalbard\u00a0such an undeniably amazing place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stuart published his first book, Long Year Spitsbergen<\/em>, in 2016 containing almost 300 pages of Svalbard nature images from throughout the year.<\/p>\n
