[@sumitkar8146]

Can I just say that regardless of what you end up doing, for tens of thousands of us, you put Svalbard on the map. You introduced us to this beautiful slice of heaven, a part most of us would not have known of without you and this beautiful channel. You have done more for Svalbard than any chamber of commerce. You, Christoffer and Grimm are a beautiful family and I look forward to your future successes. This channel, with its low key, beautifully edited storytelling sets the bar for this genre on KZbin

[@amstergal]

Beautifully said! Since following Cecelia (for some years now) I've had random conversations (while in the USA) with people about Svalbard and only because of Cecelia's channel. I've met I think only 2 people who actually had even heard of Svalbard and one person who had actually lived there for a few months working on a project which blew my mind. Thank you again for your so beautifully expressed comment.

[@lynns609]

Does the sea really freeze as it’s continuously moving🥶

[@katelijnesommen]

​​@@lynns609The whole sea will never freeze, but as shown in the video the water close to the shore can definitely develop an ice coat (from thin slush to actual closed ice) when it's cold enough - but it really does need to be quite cold for a while, because you're right, the sea does move all the time, and the salt also lowers the freezing temperature of the water. So if there is ice on the sea you can be sure it's damn cold!

[@dod2304]

@@lynns609 obviously it does! 😉 I guess you didn't notice at the beginning of the video when she took out bedding to air on their deck. Their adorable cabin is right on the "sea", though technically I guess that's a fjord. Anyway, in that shot, all you see is snow and ice. Maybe you're new to the channel and don't know yet where their cabin is, but yes. Also in places near the poles there are ships that have to break through the ice to get to where they need to go. There are cases of ships being stuck in the ice for weeks because they couldn't break through and when they stopped it froze them in place! Can you imagine??!!🥶😱

it's not a warn bark LMAO. it's when he wants to go but feels that he can't but still wants.

I envy so much of life in Svalbard. The insulation and fireplace for a start and the food served.. I can light a fire and make lots of good food but what do I then do when the freezer is full?? My life is quite limited by a regular fridge with a small freezer. When I make them good meals and have leftovers for a week, I wish I could just leave it on the terrace and have it deeply frozen for a later day. No need for Uber food delivered to the door . Ah..Svalbard life is like a freezing dream for a foodie.

I have an 11 yr old American Eskimo/spitz breed dog named Phillipe and Grimm has always reminded me of him. I think they would be fast, winter-loving, friends if they were to meet. When Grim started worry barking when you were sliding down the hill... that's a dog who loves his mama.

yup. You know it's hella cold when the snow squeaks under your feet! Clearly our buddy Cecelia is acclimated to that kind of cold. It doesn't get below zero where I live often. Maybe once or twice a Winter, though not this past Winter. But last time I was out in that temperature I had to take my gloves off to do something and my hands hurt from the cold in seconds.

I have always thought that the people who had the most appealing living arrangement, own two homes. Neither home has to be luxurious. It has to be well made, a comfortable size, easy to open up for an extended stay and easy to close down securely until another time. What I view as an isolated life in Svalbard, might be balanced by more of a village life somewhere else. Best of both worlds. Endless fun to contemplate.

With everything going on in the world, your videos are like pockets of peace...love your videos and watching you with Grimm and that mutual love that you share really warms my heart every time. Thank you

[@kp8740]

I couldn’t be happier for two people than I am for you. What an amazing life that you have worked for and are enjoying. I’m glad you’re not leaving Svalbard, I’d miss you on Sunday mornings. 😊

[@nancymosley708]

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life there. The dogs are adorable to watch.

In a world where wishes come true, it would be so great if Christoper had an ASMR channel and read bedtime stories. Your content amazing, thank you so much!

[@jonimitchell6962]

I love your perspective when you travel. You help people see places with a different eye. Love your content.

[@annstewart1983]

You guys just do you, and enjoy this life you have. I will always follow wherever you go, love to you, Christoffer, and Grim.

I get the travel + quality time. Something that shook me was, “How old are your parents?” If you see them 1x a year, for me, that was only 9-12 more visits for me.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

My parents are in their late 60's so not that old, but I still find it important to spend more time with them now :) So I want to make sure that happens more regularly :)

[@jeanettemullins]

That's very true if you can only see parents for a couple of days a year. I saw someone talk about how it added up to only seeing their parents for the equivalent of a few weeks worth of days once they'd left home because they only went to see them for brief trips. It triggered them to take longer trips in those last years or their parent's life. I don't think we realise how quickly the years fly by.

My parents are now both older than their own parents were when they died. I’ve already had cancer for the first time. I just focus on spending as much time with them as I can get. I have no family of my own so of they go first I’ll be utterly lost and if I go first it’ll be the ‘wrong way around’ and a lot of grief that they really shouldn’t have at their age. We’re clinging like little barnacles! I first got sick in my thirties and it did a lot of damage. I feel like I’ve spent the whole time since limping along waiting for the next blow instead of being able to breathe and make the most of survival. Survival hurts! Blooming painful. If you are in good health or have a good support system please make the most of it. Those things don’t last forever. Enjoy it while you can.

@Dees3179,I am also a cancer patient.mine has spread so I live from scan to scan.i feel your pain and anxiety because it is my own as well. I try not to live in fear, but it takes a lot of energy.its the reason I love KZbin channels like this one because they take me far away from my life. Am grateful for every breathe and hope for a few more years. Best of wishes to you. You are not alone.

Looking forward to all of your adventures no matter where it takes us! - Sorry Grimm but I love the snowmobile trips! 😊

[@cynnajackson4556]

Bravo on beautiful cinematography, calm but inspiring story telling, and unbelievable climbing. I remembering skiing Klein Matterhorn and being in awe of those mountains.

[@janetkennedy5940]

What a beautiful vlog, the sun over the ice is so dramatic. Adored the dog's concern when you disappeared down the slope. Thanks for sharing your amazing life!

I love Christoffers demeanor.
