a Week in My Life in the Northernmost Town | Longyearbyen, Svalbard

[@MountainMariner]

The Department of Tourism should pay you. I imagine you are singlehandedly responsible for a large increase in tourist visits to Svalbard.

[@juliomachucaarmas2764]

For sure!

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

Seriously though... now I want to go myself and I'm from Puerto Rico!!!

[@SimplyCheryl]

Oh absolutely ✨❤️

[@LindseyDara]

I think she does do stuff like that, I know in a another older video I watched she was making a commercial for something. I think she did do videography and photography for something local and I think that is what helped her get her youtube started, not sure if that is all accurate, but what I have gathered from watching some of her older videos.

[@UsokolU]

I didn't know about Svalbard's existence until recently when I stumbled upon this channel. Watched few videos and now I'm seriously considering visiting next year.

[@sumitkar8146]

Without question the best region specific content creator on KZbin. While the storytelling is impeccable, the photography and drone footage in every episode beyond compare, for me what stands out the most is the Love that Cecilia has for everything Svalbard and for her beautiful family. In an age of clickbait’s and shticks, more than true content, this stands as a beacon of hope for all of us who are much more interested in soulful and authentic storytelling- Much love to You, Christopher, Grimm and the Svalbard community from Dallas, TX

[@lolah3838]

Winter is tough and can be depressing. I don't mind looking at the cold and dark for a few minutes a week on this channel but living it day in and day out for months is a a major downer for most people. People who live on Svalbard are there because they are the rare ones who enjoy it.

[@AngelLuluBlu]

@@lolah3838 ​ around 10% of people have reverse SAD and thrive in the cold and darker months, October-February and get depressed March-September. I am one of those people. The dark and cold of winter brings me joy while bright, sunny days and warmth are a major downer for me. My best friend and son are the same. We would do well in Svalbard. I showed them Cecelia’s videos about polar nights and they both said, “Let’s go!”

Our dearest friend, who is Danish and lives in L.A. came over here to Florida on the 17th and made those days and after, really special through Thanksgiving and ending today when we take her to brunch before she flies back to L.A. And guess what? We introduced her to your channel! We spent last Friday evening watching you and Cristofer and Grim. She loved it all! Since she will be flying back to Denmark to see her family in December, your videos put her in the mood for snow! You now have another fan and subscriber!

[@blewis0719]

Thank you for all your cool videos about Svalbard. I worked in the radio broadcasting business for over 30 years. I had a late friend and colleague who served as the Program Director of KBRW AM-FM, two radio stations in Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska, USA. Utqiagvik is the northernmost city in the US. I have always been fascinated by life in the Arctic. The polar nights is one of my favorite things about the region. I'm glad you took some time to talk about the Christmas season in Svalbard. I have always wanted to spend the holidays in a place that has polar nights. Christmas lights 24 hours a day sounds great! Love it! One difference about Utqiagvik is that it never goes into pitch darkness, as Svalbard does for 2.5 months. During the middle of winter, The Sun gets to about four degrees below the horizon. Apparently, the difference between The Sun staying six degrees below the horizon at Svalbard and reaching 4 degrees below the horizon at Northern Alaska is enough to give the sky over Northern Alaska a little light each day, though The Sun is never visible. My friend would often send me photos and videos of every day life during winter. One unforgettable photo was actually not a winter photo, but it was a close up of a mother polar bear and two cubs wandering around the back door of the radio station's office and studio building. One of the cubs was on the deck behind the radio station. Being a Floridian living in North Carolina, I can say that is something I do not get to see every day. I hope that some day i will be able to visit Svalbard or the Northern Slope of Alaska. I'm glad i found your channel. Takk igjen for at du deler den interessante informasjonen og videoene fra den vakre arktiske øya.

I love the comments about cleaning, especially the variations in english: * hoovering (once in a while, I've heard that, but not often - but I'm american). * taking out the dishwasher I've taken the dishwasher out several times to fix it or replace it. It's a pain!! I get what you meant, though (taking the dishes out, emptying, whatever). Not that such variations don't happen even locally. In my same state, I started dating a girl in college and she asked me if I would ride her to town ("will you ride me to town?"). I responded "no, i have a car and also...isn't that a bit forward?!" Now I live in the city she came from and it's not that common, but people say it. It means "give me a ride to town".

Seriously. You ground me. Anyway we had bought, remodeled, and moved into our first home and I stumbled upon your channel right after we moved in. I was having a hard time with all of the change and feeling emotional and somehow your polar night content (and beyond) has continued to help center me.

I loved this Video, I live in Scotland so in winter months it starts to get dusk about 3.30pm and dark by 4pm ish depending on what kind of day it is I.E wet and dull so its dark quicker and it is after 8 am before it gets light, I love the dark nights, It would be an experience to live in dark for 4 months, I think people would have to try and keep happy and keep others motivated during 4 months of darkness, I love to see how others live i also watch the sommers in Alaska and what they do through the winter months, I used to hate the winter now i love it
