-30°C! this was VERY COLD | 52 miles from CIVILISATION | Svalbard

[@lashondajones5683]

Best comment of the year so far! “ Some would say it’s a dream , Some would say it’s a prison” says Christopher. I laughed literally out loud when he said that. Christopher is a man of few words but when he talks it’s wise.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

😂😂😂

[@amyz673]

I did too! 😆

[@genevievemayet630]

Maybe have that stitched on a throw pillow or a coffee mug 😂

[@dianac1411]

By far the best comment! Smart man😂

[@jeanettecook7903]

That was the cutest saying, I bursted out laughing...exactly why Christopher is the Best.

[@freyjawillconquer]

ONLY Cecilia would be able to manage turning falling on the ice into a positive thing 😂 “I cracked my back but in a good way!” I just love your spirit girl 🙌🏼

[@maye1729]

Hahahahahahaha she’s so funny, she’s the best hahshahahaha

[@Olvir_Richardsson]

Everytime Cecilia makes a guess about the temperature she's always like ''ohh it feels much warmer than yesterday'' And on the weather's app it's like '' Stay indoors! -95 degrees celsius recorded. Do NOT go outside!'' As Cecilia takes her daily walk with Grim!😆

[@BubsyMupsy]

And in her pyjamas! 😄😂❤"oh, it's freezing outside, let go for a walk in my pyjamas and slippers! " 🥰

[@safe-keeper1042]

😂

[@jennifer6833]

Christoffer cuddling is the best part along with the aurora! ❤ Your entire vlog is beautiful Cecilia! You know when a vlog is phenomenal and you don’t want it to end 32:10 , well that’s exactly how this feels. You’ve made me smile and just such a mood booster, truly good for helping with anxiety. Thank you… xoxo

[@hilltigger]

I was lucky enough to get to spend roughly 3 months snowmobiling on the Greenland Ice sheet over two years. Watching your remote trip brings back many memories for me. I long to go back. The silence and isolation are one thing that is hard to portray I found. It's the times when there is nothing but the katabatic winds sliding across the surface. Nowhere can that be experienced but in the Arctic....so jealous of your lifestyle. I long to come back.

[@Kiannabested]

All the way around a fantastic video Cecilia! its calming, funny, interesting, and I enjoyed every moment "being" with you guys :)

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you so much! 🥰🧡

[@pacemarshall9358]

One of the things I really love about your videos is that you never seem to tire of the natural wonders of the world and the environment you're privileged enough to call home

[@chrissyjones-major1557]

I follow you from Australia and I just love your bubbly happiness and sense of fun. You make me feel happy! ❤

[@GermanicDottir]

Oh wow, congratulations to Oliva and Einar on the arrival of Wivi. Thanks for sharing your trip and the beautiful northern lights.

[@karinamikertumova5365]

That backlit shot of Grimm with the sunset behind him...WOW!! So good

[@angelicafrangakis4257]

When you guys decided to sled down the hill your laughs transformed you into kids ! It looked so fun ! 😊 😂. You had me laughing with your laughing . Grim , what a royal boy ❤

[@apuuvah]

Finnish Lapphunds are great family dogs. Friendly and smart, able to adapt to any situation.

[@stuartaminion511]

i see the cabin and think it is warm inside and cold all around you but being cozy has a special feeling like no other. i see the shot of the store (i think it is) with all it's lights on and think if i stood inside i'd see the cold and think i'm inside being warm and that also makes it cozy. i think it's the idea in a store you have to leave at some time which makes the warmth that so much more. at home you have a choice in/out so being cozy is a given. being in the store is time guided. so the warmth takes a being with it as long as you can because it will be gone in a short time so cozy runs deep. at home you stay and do your home stuff. in the store you may look out, get your idems, may talk to someone (casher/other coustomer) just to delay the leaveing. totally other feeling but same. keep warm, enjoy life, enjoy grim. Gott Liv. one year later if you read these.

[@stacybrown6546]

So nice to see Lynn back - she looks wonderful! Congratulations to the new Mummy & Daddy! I've been waiting for this announcement!

[@rachelpostman5822]

Love your friendship with Linn! You should do a video about your friendship, like how you became friends and stuff.

[@aftonrae4038]

Where I live there are so few places that I can even see the stars anymore. I actually looked up places to go with little to no light pollution. This place is incredible.

[@noraraber1419]

Not me sitting in Africa next to the equator and dreaming myself away to where snow and winter rules ❄️ thank you for the mental cooling off :)

[@tea.chi3]

Perspective is everything, going remote helps to appreciate the comforts of home and conversely the beauty of nature

[@christybirling3299]

Amazing video. But for me, Christoffer was the cherry on top with his wonderful subtle humor. After not answering Cecilia's initial question, he chimes in: "I'm alone. In a cabin. With two women." So few words that said so much.

[@duisan8656]

Grim is like the most photogenic dog 🤣

[@shelleyhender8537]

Hi Cecilia ~ I love laying in my backyard and watching the Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis dance and change colour…such a beautiful, glorious wonder to behold!!

[@yasminasintsov4311]

[@stevenutepass7671]

For a cold place year round y'all the warmest folks I know. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life.

[@cosmicwings7211]

Absolutly wonderful video! Your drone shots- your humor, your interaction between you three and grim. I want to kiss his face all the time. I watched this video from Bali. It's rainy season and so much humid. Love to you all:-))

[@bellebb8673]

I've spent most of my life in warm places, including several years in the tropics. We have a small home in Mexico now to escape the NE US winters. I love your videos. That climate is so foreign to me, I watch with a combination of fascination and a little bit of horror. I sure would like to see the Northern lights though. Thanks for sharing!

[@lojo9113]

I can't believe how bright Pleiades constellation is! From where I live, you have to squint to find it. Then Taurus and Orion, and...of course...the Northern Lights...so stunning!! Thank you, Cecilia for sharing what you see...so beautiful!

[@eliza7874]

These videos brighten my day! I hope to visit Svalbard one day and see the beauty for myself

[@michaell8438]

I literally never comment on KZbin videos but Cecilia’s channel is so lovely and wholesome ☺️ 12:27

[@feverspell]

That aurora footage was stunning! People who know their Winter Sky would have picked out Orion and the Pleiades right away. I was looking for Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus, but I couldn't find it. It's amazing how much you can see when you don't have to worry about light pollution. Or any other kind of pollution, for that matter. I'd happily watch an hour of Northern Lights footage with a gentle piano playing in the background. Talk about an instant stress reliever.

[@michelleroberts9721]

Christoffer cracked me up in this video. He was so funny with his comments. That cabin looked amazing and the northern lights and sun over the water were gorgeous. Thanks for taking us along with you💕

[@SMjerZgirl]

Seeing the northern lights and all the stars is a dream for me. Just magical!!! Thank you for sharing videos of your life

[@Breeanna73]

That's a beautiful sight of the northern lights. You should see the southern lights. They so clear from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

[@felicitaschofield252]

Beautiful landscape and blog. Grim is such an adorable pup. ❤. Not sure I could weather such cold weather but the scenery is spectacular! Thank you for sharing your time with us!

[@denisesitler529]

Oh my word, Christoffer is the most hilarious person. I love his subtle humor, the best!!

[@annwlodarczyk8195]

I love hearing about your adventures. I live vicariously through you. Thank you for sharing.

[@AnnieWilkins-y4z]

Oh that sledding down the hill looked like so much fun!

[@eddiehayes1523]

I love your positivity. Is that where your son Grim gets it from? Sometimes he looks solemn but his pricked up ears make it clear he's taking it all in and enjoying the sights, sounds, and scents. My dad used to rattle off all four children's names before getting to the cat's name...

[@MemosaS]

Thank you for yet another amazing video. The drone shots at the end, as you guys are leaving, are absolutely AMAZING…And Christopher’s “I’m alone with two girls in a cabin, some would say is a dream, I would say it’s a prison” line, is pure comedy gold. LOL. He should trademark it.

[@Erika-gm2tf]

So majestic! The sunrise, the lights, the endless snowy mountains at dusk, the puffy clothes. Thank you for sharing your life in Svalbard with the rest of us! I LOVE winter so much, but it's only good if you have a cozy spot to come back to. My new furnace went out for the second time this month at -3 F. The cold and snow lost theur charm for a couple days. We all huddled in one room together in our sweaters and fleece robes (and for some of us, our God given fur coats 🐈 🐕 ) until it got fixed. Winter is the most magical time when you have refuge and the right clothes. We are fortunate.

[@Jaxsplash]

Can you please share a playlist? Your soundtracks are always so beautiful ❤ keep having fun!

[@guestrblx7669]

Yes finally a new video

[@suzannegittins9574]

This was one of my favorite videos you have made.😊💜 I have watched it 4 times already, whenever I watch the news then I watch Cecilia to calm my soul.💕🙏🥰 Thank you Cecilia for the joy.

[@OperaJH]

Even when I’m traveling as I am, my Sunday morning wake-up call is you wonderful people and your gorgeous furry friends! Another lovely, fun, and altogether charming, yet exciting video: -30 C, a dancing, Aurora Borealis, pancakes, speed-sledding, poop bags, a magical sunrise, close-ups of Grim and a quantum quote from Cristoffer! I’m in a Svalbard State of Mind 🎉

[@jacquinandhra7602]

When you can find true wonder, joy, excitement in the very simple things in life like lighting a cosy fire, playing cards in the candlelight, seeing the sun after ages, and eating pancakes, (packing up the poop !!!).....?. that is just wonderful!!!! I heard that the northern lights, caused by solar flares can sometimes interfere with tech. Yes.?? True? Maybe why your watch stopped? Love watching you from Kenya, East Africa....in the heat ! 🥵

[@mafurock33]

OMG - Pancake coma naps shortly after breakfast with aurora the night before in a tiny remote cabin in the arctic sounds like HEAVEN

[@caram227]

I can’t imagine seeing that beauty in person, I would be a bawling mess. Thanks for letting us at least experience through a screen 💙

[@jyotibhatnagar7174]

Your videos are absolutely wonderful. You make us so close to nature. It's very difficult to make these videos but you do it so nicely and always smiling. Thank you

[@seriouskhan]

When I was little, I watched the movie Balto (which I still love to this day I'm in my mid 30s) they showed huskies and northern lights and I just fell in love. I tell my mom all the time aim going to see my Aurora one these days and she think I'm crazy to go to the places I'd need to go to see them. We are Caribbean/South American so the coldest it gets here is 25 degrees Celsius haha but I did live in Canada for 9 yrs so a week or 2 or 3 of minus 30 I can survive once I see my Aurora. 🎉❤

[@julieobrien4056]

Yours and Lynn’s relationship is definitely friendship goals!! As other’s have said, Christoffer’s comment about being there with the two of you was hilarious!! And oddly explains his silence beforehand. Like he was thinking… “how much do I say? How do I say what I’m really thinking?” LOLOL I have to say, it seems like Grimm’s fur has gotten darker this year. I have recently been confused at times wondering if it’s Fenris I’m seeing! Did he sleep in the cabin with you? It seemed every time you went out in the morning he was already outside to greet you. And not needing to be tied there? That must be nice for him. The sunshine, the aurora, the drone shots, the ocean ice… the scenery up there is just stunning and unbelievable, and you do such a great job of sharing it with us all. Thank you!

[@veeemit9719]

Can you see the Northern lights in the Spring as well? Wow, Grim is like the most chill dog sitting out on the snow!

[@ananeto81]

Cecília, that last shot of the three snowmobiles riding along was stunning. Cinematic as much as the northern lights. Christoffer comment was truly funny. Lots of love from northern Portugal

[@rockygalgeo5126]

Cecilia-what an amazing episode! Wow! My 10.5 month old really enjoyed watching this episode as well!!! I wish I could add my photo so you could see her watching your episode!

[@Rye_Toast]

Oh no, the nail casualties! I feel your pain. I'm actually sitting here doing my weekly manicure while watching. Another fabulous video, I could watch a whole video of nothing but the ice chunks floating around with the natural sounds, so zen!

[@Supercharger86]

A crystal clear starry night with the northern lights dancing in the sky, I can't think of many things that's more beautiful than that

[@minime7375]

When I started the video I was wondering “why do these people go through so much trouble to go from their cabin to a smaller, less comfy cabin to do the exact same thing they do at home” and then Cecilia started showing the aurora and the night sky and now I get it😅

Great Video 🤗 We live in Ontario Canada and we also like to do 2 remote trips a year, one in Winter where we sled in to a yurt and one in the early fall with our canoe and lots of portaging for a week. It's the best way to recharge your batteries in every way. getting unplugged from everything and just taking care of your basic needs enjoying the solitude and nature sounds.....ahhhh..... it's magical 🥰
