Steller’s Eider at Vardo

Vardø, Norway's easternmost town on the remote Varanger Peninsula, offers photographers a genuine chance to encounter Steller's Eider alongside king eider & other Arctic seabirds. Those joining the Winter Wildlife of Arctic Varanger holiday should aim for April, when this striking species can typically be found in the area. The town's far-flung position makes it a rewarding, if far-flung, destination for capturing one of the region's most sought-after eiders in its natural Arctic surrounds.
