Arctic Light, Svalbard

Photographed 2023 · Last printed March 2025

Taken at 03:47 on a midsummer morning on the Svalbard plateau, this image captures the moment the midnight sun broke through eight days of cloud cover. The light lasted eleven minutes. I had been waiting four days.

Hans Eriksson works primarily in Arctic and Nordic wilderness, pursuing the light that exists at the edge of human endurance. His practice spans long expeditions — weeks at a time in Svalbard, Greenland, and the Norwegian high plateau — returning with work that carries the silence and scale of those landscapes. He prints exclusively in limited editions on Hahnemühle archival paper.
