What Are The Ice Domes Of Tromsø?

The Ice Domes of Tromsø are a winter spectacle based on a natural phenomenon but made even more magical by modern technology. Created during the winter months, these structures form when fog, mist and snow come together in the right conditions to form ice-covered domes or towers.

The ice truly looks like something out of a fairy tale, with its glistening formations taking on different shapes as they rise out of the landscape. While you can take some beautiful photos of it, it’s also an absolutely breathtaking experience to witness up close.

Where Are The Ice Domes Of Tromsø?

The ice domes are located on the east side of Kvaløya Island which is about a 15-minute drive from Tromsø. As such, you’ll need your own transport to get here, either by car or snowmobile.

• Make sure to bring a hat, gloves and neck warmer as well as proper outdoor shoes such as insulated/waterproof boots or ‘sludrstøvler’.
• Bring sunscreen and lip balm as sunburn can happen even when it’s cold out!
