Steller’s Eider at Varanger

Steller's Eider can be found at Varanger, on the far northeastern tip of Norway's Finnmark region, where the peninsula reaches out into the Barents Sea well above the Arctic Circle. The landscape here is stark & treeless tundra, framed by wind-scoured coastal cliffs & wide open fjords, offering a dramatic backdrop for photography. April is the month to plan for, & those joining the Winter Wildlife of Arctic Varanger holiday will have the best opportunity to encounter this striking eider against Varanger's raw, Arctic scenery.
