23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Arctic Convoy

I was on a birdwatching tour in Båtsfjord, Northern Norway. Our plan was to initiate our homeward tour at 10:00 am. Owing to a heavy blizzard the southbound road was closed. We had to wait for 2 hour before the plove truck came to open the road. Only one lane could be cleared at a time.
