Leucistic reindeer, also known as white deer, are rare and make up less than one percent of the deer population. Additionally, in snowy conditions, it can be difficult to spot a white animal like a white deer. However, this lucky photographer had a fascinating experience while hiking in Norway and came across the magical sight of a white reindeer.

Mаds Nordsveen has traveled extensively, capturing stunning landscapes and natural wonders around the world. However, in the midst of all the wonders he has seen, it was a simple and pure being that caught his attention and left an indelible impression on the photographer’s mind.

One morning, he was walking with his companions on the island of Senja, in northern Norway, when they came across a young reindeer calf, as white as the snow that covered the ground around it.

The young reindeer seemed almost invisible in the snow that beautiful morning. If it weren’t for its dark eyes and bone-colored antlers jutting into the air, the calf could have been mistaken for another snowdrift.

A few hundred metres away, a brown reindeer that Nordsveen assumed was the calf’s mother stood and stared at them, prompting everyone to stay still. They sat quietly, as calm as possible, until they finally got closer to the calf.

The young reindeer stayed for about five minutes before running back to its mother and disappearing into the forest. Those five minutes were enough time for the photographer to take advantage of his artistic instincts.

Native Sami people, many of whom herd reindeer in northern Norway, reported to Nordsveen that white reindeer are extremely rare and are believed to bring good fortune. Perhaps, this lucky man would cherish the lovely moment for the rest of his life.
