Awesome Thomas. A wildlife photographer you are now indeed!

[@AsorArts]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the cinematography of the b-rolls throughout the video?

[@tapeoy]

thanks to the hated Dji pocket 3

[@asihankhang7579]

Tom is more of a moviemaker then a landscape photographer, fantastic to see the video and sound design he put together. well done

[@Randomtraveller83]

I feel eternally grateful that your channel exists.

[@bigjim4983]

I'm not typically emotional but the polar bear shots brought a tear to my eye. There's nothing like persevering for a long time and getting a shot that is everything you could have imagined. Great video Thomas.

[@GodIsReal]

Wow! The portrait of that juvenile bear facing you with his legs spread out, is fantastic! Such power in that photograph.

[@stevenhaworth4838]

So beautiful to see the bears in the wild. Breathtaking.

[@robertlee8980]

I am in awe, and you made me smile. The polar bears made me a bit emotional. THANK YOU!!

[@TessVigeland-nf8ql]

This is the second time your polar bear photos -- and the reverence with which you treat the experience -- have moved me to tears. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary encounter with all of us.

[@kenbranstetter2354]

Your videos of locations such as these always seem to inspire me to find the “exotic” closer to my “boring” home. And thanks for helping me along my photographic journey

[@bradzaruba9686]

I can't imagine your heart rate is you were taking these images. I wouldn't have been able to keep the camera steady. This was outstanding!

[@petervanriet5389]

Goosebumps.....

[@davedenison1966]

Thanks Thomas. You’re not just a landscape photographer, you’re also a gifted wildlife photographer. It would be awesome if your next calendar or book would include some of these photos. They are special!

[@petervanriet5389]

Goosebumps. This video hits the mark on every level.

[@mitchellkphotos]

One of your best along with some of the Mongolia vids. Love the feeling of being RIGHT there, as you're photographing.

[@MargusKask-ou6px]

Beautiful photography and storytelling! Thank you for taking us on your journeys while the rest of us can only dream about such adventures away from sitting behind a desk working all day.

[@millymucci]

An Awards-worthy film! And Photography! So moving! Frankly speechless. Impeccable. Unsurpassable. Divine. 🕊

[@tjsinva]

The early bird gets the bear, the fox, and the walrus, not to mention the gulls. Pretty good day, I'd say. Will await Simon's take on the trip, Carry on. 👍🥂

[@doncason6108]

Well done Tom. You make a 72 year old photographer smile. Thank you.

[@StephenBridgett]

Absolutely, 74

[@DanaPushie]

Agree, 71...

[@PMCN53]

Agree! Makes a70yo photographer smile as well! :)

[@johndecker4145]

Making a 73 yo jealous as hell...but smiling!

[@rogercave6435]

yes....76!

[@chrisprideaux151]

What an incredible opportunity, trip, landscape and of course photos Tom. Nothing like witnessing nature in its rawness form. Fantastic!

[@JH-qv3xv]

Inspiration, and more inspiration. Thanks

[@opendoorslowly]

that last shot with the bear and the bird.. is amazing.well done.

[@altrujillo3566]

Snow Leopards Polar Bears....within months of each other. You're seriously leading a charmed life Thomas!!

[@joe_vaughan]

I know I've come to this about a fortnight late but *Wow*. That shot of the juvenile looking straight at you at 16:25 is amongst the best I've ever seen. You must be very proud and honoured by that one. Once in a lifetime.

[@SP-te5fm]

Some of your best photos IMO. Really liked the birds at 17.56. Well done. 😊

[@keithdraycott]

Bucket list just grew by one item !!!!!!

[@Losnariu12]

My bucket list is growing daily 😢

[@randyschwager84]

WOW! What an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience. I've been following you for a long time...and this is by far my favorite production I've seen. I felt like I was there with you! Thanks for taking me along!

[@MKWHD]

Aah! Yes! You hit a homerun with the photos of the bears. Looking forward to the prints.

[@trishfre2]

Well you had a mid-70s and a 90 yr old watching this, and both enjoyed it immensely! Stunning shots, loved the bears, the birds, the walrus and the tour of the ship, which gives us all an idea of your accommodation. A perfect video😊 Thanks for sharing!🇦🇺

[@lachietod3918]

Just..................................................................................Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@MrShmellit]

Congratulations on some beautiful images. Fantastic memories.

[@zenphotojourney]

Fantastic shots! Especially that one of the bear cub climbing out of the sea with the water pouring off of him!

[@JonasPaurellUnscripted]

That's a stunning video thomas! ENjoyed every moment on this expedition and lovely to have this to remember it by! Thanks man!

[@nickbristol3457]

This was fantastic! What an amazing time for for you capturing these images and for me viewing it now. Thanks Tom!

[@tmjr]

That image with the cub staring from the ice edge was just chilling good!

[@fatp0ssum]

To say that I’m jealous is an understatement. Such beautiful scenery and nature. To see Polybears in their natural environment, rather than some bored senseless, grey stained captive bear in a zoo, must be a real privilege. Thanks Thomas.

[@davidrippin9222]

Majestic stuff Tom. That shot of the bear on the ice-shore, looking straight to camera is utterly captivating, particularly.

[@alixwato377]

stunning and the film of the polar bears makes my heart happy

[@MeasuredLight]

Holy heck!! What a video! What a trip!! Amazing!! Beautiful images, Tom!! 😍

[@jacquelinecurtis]

All I can say is WOW! What amazing photography and video. Yours is surely the best photography youtube video out there at the moment. Thank you so much.

[@darranmilne9944]

Beautiful images Thomas thanks for sharing, really captivating video truly stunning

[@robgainer6146]

Another awesome adventure, love the blending of wildlife and landscape photography! Thanks!

[@SuelenTiekoPhotos]

Really beautiful Thomas! Thanks for sharing these images with us 🙏

[@victor-ferreira]

Insane!!! Absolutely stunning photos!!! Incredible!!!

[@bevleaross8736]

absolutely beautiful - what a fabulous experience

[@marlenehazlehurst8666]

Amazing. Some of the best Svelbard images I've seen. Thank you for sharing. Love them

[@Mihazero]

This place has been my dream for past 15 years. I do envy you Sir ... immensely for being able to do this.

[@manajorymanajory7751]

Very well portrayed.... this is what dreams are made of, sent chills through me! Thank you Tom!!

[@philipweir8318]

Stunning vlog Thomas, scenery was spectacular & the bonus being the polar bears in their natural environment. Great.

[@gyundoanyumer1800]

What an incredible journey and photos. Svalbard js a different world. Thanks.

[@VABrowneMDPhD]

For many years, I have dreamed of goingto Svalbard! What an amazing adventure you’ve had! I can’t wait to see these places in person!

[@wilbmoore]

Thomas I am sooooo envious. You are the man. These are extraordinary shots. Great video my friend.

[@johnhillman2619]

19:25 Bear and bird. Nice capture!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Magnificent shots! Thank you for taking us along.

[@nigelwest3430]

Really lovely shots of the Bears

[@helengray1695]

Simply stunning video and photos. A real pleasure to watch. Thank you for everything you do!

[@jbcarle]

As an amateur photographer and a person committed to conservation, this is a precious gift and a reason to do all we can do to limit the impact of fossil fuels. These polar bears are endangered in the wild and we need them to keep our sense of wonder. Thank you, Tom.

[@charliejg]

What a privilege to be able to witness such beautiful wildlife! Fantastic images. Thanks for taking us along....

[@slaphead2965]

The polar bear photos are magical. Great work Thomas. 👍🙂

[@kyralichtenstein2971]

AMAZING Shots! You where so lucky and you captured those polar bear and other animals so perfectly, thanks for sharing!

[@JohnSmith-fu3ec]

This was incredible!

[@dellman5848]

WOW..........just WOW!!!!!!!!

[@pedrosanchez4035]

Thomas I have been following you for years now. Not one of your films has disappointed.

[@wolfypics7339]

I must admit after watching your uploads on and off for years your landscape photography still fails to excite or inspire me. However credit where credit is due. Your cinematography and film making skills are 2nd to none and I truly enjoy your faraway trips to these places and the Mongolia ones too. Your wildlife photography is 2nd to none too and you are a way better at taking wildlife shots than landscape shots Tom! Please spend the time, effort and money to make more of these trips to places that most of us cannot go and don't waste your time with local photography any more..you have outgrown that type of work and need to move above the rest of mostly boring pack on YT that still shoots around Scotland or the Lake District. Thanks for making these masterpieces!

[@hannevdc4140]

You blessed us with an amazing video and pictures. This made me smile! Safe travels, Thomas!

[@Waldo58]

Incredible landscape and spellbound watching the Polar Bears 😁👍

[@thomasphillips5850]

Thomas, excellent. Some tremendous images. I was freezing while watching this. As always thanks for taking uus along.

[@mikebarbee8621]

Fantastic job and images Thomas! Look forward to more. 72 years young me is somewhat envious!!

[@candlemann]

Thanks for taking us along.

[@hiteshpunjabi5715]

you truly make your KZbin videos an experience for all of us !! These are amazing photos Tom👑

[@TomMorterLaing]

For anyone thinking about this - I've met Jonas (as well as Tom) some years ago, and Jonas is one of the nicest, coolest people ever - 10/10 would recommend his trips. And Tom of course 😆

[@denisesavage2382]

stunning encounter with the polar bears. They were images that made me feel sad and hopeful for them at the same time.

[@carolfranklyn-wi8lp]

Wow wow wow. What a trip and what awesome photos 📷📷📷

[@terra___photo]

What a wild and beautiful experience. Bucket list for sure.

[@lonewolfphotography01]

Wow , beautiful photographs, beautiful video, thank you for sharing, breathtaking..

[@craigbaxter4842]

Truly breath taking.

[@calmdown888]

Thanks for taking us with you.

[@sapphieburry5216]

Bloody fantastic shots Thomas! I think my favourites are the first bear one, the one where he/she is jumping/diving into the snow and the sleeping fox 😍

[@GrahamMarkham]

The Arctic Fox on the mound was my fav, exceptional capture...........

[@pfekin]

Wow just incredible, certainly one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@Han-uz1tl]

Just utterly gorgeous.

[@bertwilbrink2679]

At 19:20, that beautiful white arctic creature, so high on my wishlist. I would love to see an ivory gull once.

[@innesdunbar]

Some beautiful shots there Thomas, the young Polar Bear ones were full of character.

[@lvr2704]

Unreal landscape!

[@oleggontar2942]

"Pack snacks"? - i thought the tourists themselves are the snack. Beautiful video, indeed that rock formation is out of this world.

[@NeilArthurs]

What a wonderful Polar Bear encounter, absolutely stunning images! Cheers

[@lennartphotography]

Lovely landscape and the photograps are amazing.🤩

[@michaelhill692]

Thanks for taking us with you. These are experiences that some of us may never get to have.

[@bernym4047]

Wonderful. Bet you're hooked on wildlife now. 😀 Definitely worth buying you a coffee. Thanks.

[@atalaykaracaorenli7698]

You really captured beautiful photos in the cold climate, Thomas. 🧿🎗️

[@rolsonn]

Loved your slide show. Fabulous adventure!

[@GothRush]

Such a fantastic video, love all the environmental portraits of the wildlife.
