Over-Tourism Warning on Arctic Aurora Chase -Photographer Ewen Bell
from Travel Writers Radio
Our photography expert Ewen Bell is sounding the alarm about over-tourism in Norway’s Tromso – regarding the best place from which to view the northern lights – Aurora Borealis. Over the past 15 years, travelling to the Arctic, Ewen has noticed that tourist numbers are rising with about 180 coaches a night taking passengers out around Tromso to find a good place to view the aurora. So Ewen has moved four hours south of Tromso, where he has a private house and cabins with a clear view of the sky for him and his p-photography group.
