Hej och Tack. Ledsen för sent svar då jag varit bortrest i 4 veckor nu. Det beror lite på om du skall vara på en båt som jag eller mer landbaserad. Om du är på båt så har du inte mycket nytta av ett stativ pga båtens vibrationer, såvida du inte filmar och vill ha mer mjuka rörelser. Jag har både haft och inte haft stativ, men i dagsläget använder jag det bara när jag filmar. Är du landbaserad så kan stativ vara en idé för landskapsbilder. Men i stort sett behöver du det inte. Monopod kan ibland vara kul att använda för att hålla kameran nedåt nära vattenytan för att få en låg vinkel. Om man skall fotografera wildlife är väl regeln att ju längre brännvidd desto bättre. Jag har ofta kört 500mm för att jag tycker den ger bättre kvalitet än zoom. Annars är det många som använder olika zoom, 100-400, 100-500, 150-600, 200-600, till och med 70-200 med converter. Vet inte om du blev klokare av detta.

Thank you. That was a ship called MS Virgo and the trip was organized by WildPhoto Travel.

I also love Cecilia and never miss a vlog however, she's not the only one allowed to report on Svalbard. It's always nice to get a different perspective. This one in particular brought us up close.

Thank you. We were fortunate to have better weather than the tours that came later. March is the coldest month so be prepared for that. Given the cold and ice conditions we only went once in the zodiacs. However, we also took a tour in May, 17-25, and were greeted with nice weather and sightings, so if I were to choose again, I would probably opt for like lats week in April. I think all the operators with these small, 12 passenger ship, are all very professional and the ships are quite similar, so you can hardly go wrong with any of them. WildPhoto is more geared towards photographer, so if you are into that, they are great. Cheers

Thank you. I am lazy and use my cellphone. In this instance it was an iPhone 14Pro Max.

Hi, There is actually no possibility to drive with your car to the park entrance. In general it is two access routes. One from the south of the park and one from the west. We used the latter. We parked at Grövelsjöns turist station and the had some 10+km of hike to the park entrance,.

Hmm ok got it. is the hike route to the park well guided ? Thanks

@@sohailzafar4340 Yes there are signposts all the way - no risk of getting lost.

As for as I know ther are no regular boats between mainland Norway and Svalbard.

@Grim Reaper Correct. Daily from Oslo and Tromsø.

Thank you very much for this beautiful video, and for taking time to make it.

It is magical. Photos or footages won’t do the beauty justice.
