Portolano made a series of photos called "Arctic Love" which talks about a young Finnish woman Tinja who left the he city and decided to go back to the wilderness to raise sled dogs. "Tinja’s husky farm is off the grid: she cooks and heats with a wood stove, lights her home with candles and has to break the ice of the river every morning to get her water with a bucket. Inside her house is also a sauna where not only does she wash herself, but also does the dishes and her laundry." That's how Brice described Tinja's life in the Arctic. Even though it seems very difficult to live like that in our modern age where comfort plays a tremendous role, Tinja prefers this lifestyle, plus living close to nature has its perks. Check it out.

Armed with two bags of canned food, dry food, tools and fishing rods, these Norwegian friends decided to head to the Arctic to experience the holiday of a lifetime. They built their own shelter from planks and debris that washed onto the shore and spent all their leisure time fishing, hunting and surfing! Here are some of the stunning photos that captured their 9 month experience!

This is the Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station in 2011. It is a temporary camp that is made from plywood on the Arctic sea ice. There is nothing for miles around but miles and miles of frozen wasteland. It is a very desolate place.

Fascinating and breathtaking views of the Arctic.
