The winter is just around the corner, and I am ready for some great adventures! Here is a short promo for the project I am currently working on - said Morten Hilmer on facebook.com/mortenhilmer -

The musk oxen manage to survive on the most extreme places on earth. Their wool is among the warmest and their thick fur protects them from the high wind. I photographed this one at Dovrefjell in Norway. #muskox #dovrefjell #norway #snow #winter #discoverwildlife #ig_discover_wildlife #visitnorway #wildlifepage #ilovenorway #igswildlife #igscandinavia #photooftheday #instanaturefriends #instanature #ilcp_photographers #igscwildlife #amazingwildlife #instanaturefriends_ #nature_whisperers #photowall_nature #whywelovenature #instanature #instanaturefriends_ #bestnatureshots #photoarena_nature #wildlifephotography #outofwild #earthpix

Muskox photographed at Dovrefjell in Norway. Looking at these fascinating big animals always reminds me of something from the past. During tre winter the food is very sparse and because most of the walleys are covered with deep snow you will often find the muskoxen near the windy tops where the snow has been blown away. #muskox #dovrefjell #norway #snow #winter #discoverwildlife #ig_discover_wildlife #visitnorway #wildlifepage #ilovenorway #igswildlife #igscandinavia #photooftheday #instanaturefriends #instanature #ilcp_photographers #igscwildlife #amazingwildlife #instanaturefriends_ #nature_whisperers #photowall_nature #whywelovenature #instanature #instanaturefriends_ #bestnatureshots #photoarena_nature #wildlifephotography #outofwild #earthpix

After an almost 3 month long arctic winter without a single sunrise, it is incredibly to see the sun again. The darkness is over and soon all the birds will start to come to Northeast Greenland. This photo is from my time in the Sirius Patrol. #Arctic #greenlandtoday #Greenland #dogsofinstagram #sleddog #sirius #photooftheday #globaldaily #thephotosociety #instagood #tbt #photooftheday #follow #followme

Arctic fox on its way home to the den where the pups are waiting. In late June the sea ice is very thin and full of cracks so it is not an easy journey. #Arctic #Greenland #wildlife #arcticfox #ig_discover_wildlife #wildlife #animal #instanaturefriends #instanaturelover #nature_cuties #whywelovenature #bd_animal #world_bestanimal #igscwildlife #agean_animals #animalfanatics #aroundtheworldpix #globaldaily #anmlsworld #instanaturefriends_ #pocket_animal #animalsmood #ig_captures #nature2000 #naturephotoportal #conservation #conservationphotography #ilcp_photographers #ilcp #earthpix #OutOfWild

I left one of the small houses on the weather station Danmarkshavn in Northeast Greenland and headed towards the mountains near by. I was looking at the frozen bay and some beautiful icebergs far away when my attention was caught by a sound. I looked to the left and I was really surprised to see a polar bear so close to the station - and so close to me. I managed to make a few photos of this beautiful animal before I backed out and went to the nearest cabin. Visit my Facebook: https://facebook.com/MortenHilmer
