Photographer Karen Miller braves the Scottish elements to capture the lives of mountain hares, exploring the delicate balance between nature and adventure.

The tale of the Cailleach Bheur, the Celtic goddess of nature, storms and winter, is well known to many in the Gàidhealtachd. Said to have carved the mountains and glens with ice, and borne the islands like children on her back, the Cailleach disappeared long ago leaving us only with her song – a sad, cautionary tale. This Gaelic arts project brings music, film and verse together to reimagine Cailleach’s story for the modern era.

In the winter of early 1943, 12 Norwegian resistance members crossed the Hardangervidda to put a stop to the creation of an atomic bomb, in what has become one of history’s most astounding and beloved adventure tales. Now, exactly 80 years after the event, an international expeditionary team retrace their footsteps.
