What to bring

1. Clothing

​

The temperature in Tromsø can be down to −18°C and you will need clothing to keep youself warm from head to toe. Some essential items include:

​

​

​

• Woollen underwear

• Woollen jersey

• Fleece jacket

• Wind and waterproof trousers and jacket

• Woollen socks

• Gloves (preferably wind and waterproof)

• Woollen hat and scarf

• Waterproof hiking shoes/boots

​

​

​

Snowsuits and shoes may be provided for some local tours, so check if you plan to join one.

 

Whatever your choices are, the principle is to wear layers with woollen clothing closer to your skin and wind/waterproof ones outside.

​

2. Camera gears

      1)   Camera

​

  Best Photo Quality:           Single Lens Reflex Camera

​

  Good Photo Quality:          Mirrorless Camera

​

  Average Photo Quality:       GoPro

​

  Poor Photo Quality:            Mobile Phone

​

2)   Battery

Bring extra camera batteries with you. The batteries discharge more quickly in cold weather than under normal temperature. 

3)   Tripod

Bring a tripod or borrow one from the tour agency. Without a tripod to stabilize the camera in long exposure mode, the photo will blur.
