Arp 299 (IC 694 + NGC 3690) is one of the nearest examples of interacting galaxies with a high infrared (IR) luminosity (L_IR = 5.4 x 10^11 L_sun, for the assumed distance D= 42Mpc), close to the limiting value for ultraluminous IR galaxies. We present HST/NICMOS observations taken with all three cameras. We concentrate on the data reduction and analysis of the images taken with camera 3 through the narrow-band filters F164N and F166N. The [FeII] 1.644 micron morphology and properties are described in detail. The relative ages of the burst of star formation together with the supernova rate for the bright sources in the interacting system are derived.
