A rare white reindeer in the snow

Mads Nordsveen has traversed the world, capturing spectacular vistas of dramatic French cliffsides, palm-lined California beaches and the Northern Lights.

But over the weekend, it was a simpler sight in his native Norway that caught his eye.

The travel photographer was hiking with some friends on the northern Norwegian island of Senja when they spotted a little reindeer calf, white as the snow that blanketed the ground around them.

“He almost disappeared into the snow!” Nordsveen later wrote on Instagram..
