Adventures above the Arctic Circle with bird lover Knut-Sverre Horn
-
How did your career start?
I took an interest in birds when I was around four, saved money for my first binoculars at seven, got my first SLR at 12 and shot my first nature pictures for a national magazine at 15. Since 2002, I’ve been an all-round news journalist with NRK, the public Norwegian broadcaster, and nature, climate and conservation stories are part of what I cover. I mainly shoot birds, but occasionally landscapes, insects, flowers and mammals.
Which of your images is most important to you?
My kittiwake image from Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2021 is probably one of the weirdest pictures that has ever been awarded. Lots of people don’t get it at all. It serves as a reminder to try novel approaches and trust your own vision.
What's been your most memorable wildlife shoot?

Why does Australia have such weird animals?
AUSTRALIA IS A LONG WAY FROM anywhere and has been for a very long time. The landmass definitively separated from the supercontinent of Gondwana around 40 million years ago and, since then, has existed - as a big blob in the middle of an even bigger ocean - in glorious geographical isolation.

Why do some species sunbathe?
RING-TAILED LEMURS ARE FAMED FOR their 'sun-worshipping' posture, legs and arms outstretched to reveal their pale bellies. Like humans, they do it to save energy and boost health. Sunlight is necessary to many bodily processes. As a source of vitamin D it's required to maintain bone and muscle health. It is also related to the production of serotonin, the chemical that regulates mood, sleep and stress response.
