The following day we spent the morning cruising around Ulvøya, greeted by overcast skies and very calm conditions. With almost no wind, the sea remained smooth, creating a quiet and contemplative atmosphere as we moved along the island’s rugged coastline.

We headed out in our expedition boats to explore the area at close range, enjoying the subdued winter light and the stillness that defines these remote corners of Northern Norway. The muted colours of the landscape – dark rock, snow-covered slopes, and low clouds – gave the morning a distinctly Arctic feel.

One group took the opportunity to go kayaking, gliding silently across the calm water and experiencing the surroundings from a low, intimate perspective. The quiet conditions allowed for an especially peaceful outing, perfectly suited to this secluded setting.

Though understated, the morning around Ulvøya was deeply atmospheric – proof that even under grey skies, Arctic Norway offers moments of calm beauty and connection with the landscape.
