About us - Greenlander

Kerttu

Natural guide, sea kayaking leader, vagabond, environmentalist, PADI scuba diver, whale-maniac, ultimately our queen bee, who is keeping everything together in our small nest.

Kerttu has a special place in her heart for nature and animals. From early childhood, her best friends were always non-humans, with who she shared both joy and tears. As the time goes on, the passion towards natural world grows even greater and now in adulthood, she realises the power, what an individual can withhold. While traveling almost half of our planet(above and below the watery sheet,) she has participated in numerous animal conservation programs and lived through some hilarious moments chasing her dreams. If there would be one single thing, she studied, it would be, we as humans have pushed a nature to extremes and instead of taking a toll on it even further, we should live mutually with nature, without creating further harm. As much as it is possible.

Kerttu (her name easiest to remember is “Care To”) as my better side mainly answering your letters, making sure everything is in order, will occasionally take care of you on our day tours. Once you meet her, you’ll notice straight away, she is loving her job and has a specific skilful touch to it.

Markus

I think everyone who knows Markus can agree that he is one of the most seasoned and enthusiastic NorthernLights guide in Tromsø. He really knows how to read the weather and seems to understand the soul of Northern Lights.

He has been guiding Northern Lights tours in Tromsø for 9 years. Markus has a unique know-how and skill to take the best care of people and ensure they see the Lights.
Internally nature and outdoor lover it is impossible not to feel overwhelmed when chasing Northern Lights with him. If you like a tour guide, who does everything with extreme comfort in mind, Markus is not a guide for you. 😀

Hans Markus Antson

Hans

Hans Markus is a passionate wildlife and landscape photographer since 2013. With his road cycling background, he is very active, loves going to the gym, doing winter hiking and bikepacking.

In addition to everything that includes nature, Hans loves creating videos for his YouTube channel and short films of weddings. As Hans works in Tromsø seasonally, when he’s not here, he is a portrait and wedding photographer and creating wedding films.

There’s a saying that when your NL guide gets excited, then it has to be an amazing show! It’s definitely a true statement but maybe not 100% accurate for Hans, as he gets excited with all sorts of lights.

Hans’ first priority on tours is guests’ wellbeing and creating a memorable experience, regardless of whether or not the northern lights make an appearance. Secondly, he tries to capture Auroras in the best possible way.
