In the July of 2025, the municipality of north Greenland issued an official warning for the unusually big icebergs that were close to the coast and the houses. The fish factory and the local shop had to be closed and some local people moved further away from the coast due to the risk of tsunami. In the year of 2018 an identical case happened which caught the attention of the world.
Dennis is a 29 year old photographer from Finland who started off with astrophotography. Having spent most of his life living in big cities of south Finland he felt depressed not being able to see the night sky properly due to light pollution, so he moved to the small communities in the arctic where dark skies are still a thing.
He moves frequently as each new location comes with its own adventures and new possibilities for photography.
Dennis wishes to take his adventures to the remote corners of Siberia, Alaska and northern Canada in the future and to learn more about these regions.
