after ONE MONTH of trouble | Svalbard an island close to the North Pole

[@katiestegman8083]

So grateful for all of this - the views, the walruses, Fenriss' adorable face in the camera, the boat banter... I love all of it. Thanks for taking us along!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you for watching! 😍

[@jensenmills]

Those set of books were amazing ! ❤️

[@liannehuitsing6318]

Dear Cecilia. First of all thank you for your beautiful and inspiring videos. Every week i'm looking forward to see your newest video. It gives me the right motivation to see the beauty of the day and the world. But I also want to thank you for your book tips. What a great book by Sarah J Maas. I read the first book in 3 days! I loved it. Thank you! Greetings from the Netherlands

[@benzo2762]

👍👍👍

[@cynthiahtd4liferomarfam775]

That's the first time I've heard Christoffer really laugh and I absolutely loved it. I love seeing you being the adorable couple you are enjoying each other when he said "you're a whirlwind"

[@mauropn]

I Just can't leave your channel!!! Its so amazing...It brings me so much peace.. peace of mind... It's my new Netflix.. lol... A little "Hi" from São Paulo/Brazil....

[@puppy2haley]

Cecilia, you have 1 of the best channels on KZbin. Watching you, Christoffer, your friend & the beautiful fur babies is just so amazing especially when you send the drone up. Also enjoy your videos of when you visit your family & friends in Portugal & Sweden. Thx for taking us along. ❤️ 🇺🇸

[@Natalie-xy7zy]

What a fun adventure! Grim was such a diva freaking out. Then Fenris up in your face was hilarious! Love those cutie pies!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

hahah such a diva!! and also how they just want to go back to the boat , after spending the entire day on the boat hahha

[@tamtamtamd]

I will have to say that your videos are so amazing to me. I watch your videos to relax and relieve stress. I think it’s pretty amazing to see the world through another person’s perspective. Thank you for your beautiful content! ❤️

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kskogman125]

I just found this channel. And I can’t stop watching. I have so many questions.

[@sinacarroll]

I would love to learn more about the tundra, grass, flowers and things that grow on Svalbard! Is anything edible, any which animals eat what? Your interviews are so fascinating, are there any tundra specialists you could interview? That would be so interesting! :) Love your videos. Thank you

[@amirlach]

It looks very much like Baffinland.

[@rvdeddrift]

I agree! It would be extremely interesting to see what types of flora you have compared to the parts of the Alaskan tundra I've had the pleasure of living in and visiting.

[@chrisdaniel1339]

Would you please post a video of you and Christoffer fishing for Cod and Haddock in the summer season?

[@Judep4237]

That looked like Grim’s best day ever ❤

[@Smartgran]

Oh cecilia what a wonderful episode. The photography made it very special and of course the icing on the cinnamon bun was the walruses ❤️ I didn’t know who your passenger was and thought he might be Christopher’s brother. I am watching from Scotland with not dissimilar views but not so cold! And no wildlife like Svalbard. Looking forward to the next one 🤩

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🧡

[@lifeincanada7498]

Hi Cecilia, I am one of your silent watcher, I just wanna say I can’t believe that its been a year and I keep on watching all your vlogs and I remembered you only have few thousands of subscribers and now you reach 200k 🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations. For some reason your vlogs are so calming to watch especially during winter times when you are doing you’re a day in your life in Svalbard. I can’t wait on your next with vlogs. Thank you for all the videos and sharing the majestic place of svalbard. Regards Adel Edmonton, 🇨🇦Canada.

[@ebmw231975]

Your drone footage is some of the best I've seen! Love how your artistic eye works so well with the drone. Just stunning!!!

“I think we have the same Seattle mug!” (My son Jasper:)

[@Lancelot59]

Thank You for taking me to places I have never been or won't ever be. It is fascinating to see this beautiful part of our Planet.

[@josimpson7999]

So very funny having Grimm frantically barking - as if his mummy would leave him to fend for himself. Bless him! Glad you got the boat sorted without any damage. Loved seeing the ‘moody’ scenery, just gorgeous.

[@timgotta321]

Quit acting like you know her

[@josimpson7999]

@@timgotta321 Very sorry if my comment upset you to the point where you felt the need to make such an unnecessary and rude comment. Hope things get better for you.

[@brittbeans]

Ohhh she's reading a court of mist and fury!!!🧚🏼‍♀️

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

I am obseeeeessseeed!

[@kathyrogister7624]

Yours are the most beautiful videos I watch! The scenery, your talks, the dogs, and of course, Christoffer are so interesting and I so appreciate your life and all you share with us!! ❤️

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you very much! 😍

[@MsBritishwoman]

Cecillia, your cinematography is insane! You capture such moods in your shots, you can definitely feel the cold, the wind, the sun, just the shear joy of nature in a video. Thank you for clearing the rest of the worlds minds and just letting us share with you your homeland! ❤ your channel

[@jodieparker4930]

I’ll be visiting Longyearbyen at the end of the month and then circumnavigating Svalbard for 9 days. Your videos have made me so excited to see the landscape and wildlife!

[@allavery5206]

Omg! I would so love to have this antler! I almost had a heart attack when you dropped it 😂

[@crazymaxl]

I was introduced to Sara J Maas' world by a friend, and much like you, I picked up the first book and didn't stop reading. Highly recommend! I always look forward to your videos, I hate the cold and can barely walk on snow, but your content makes me dream of visiting Svalbard❤️

[@mariannejennisch9293]

Thanks for putting in author name

[@WhiteTiger333]

You can take an antler...as long as it's not still attached to the reindeer. LOL!

[@queenofdramatech]

I'm sorry you almost wrecked your boat! But I'm so glad everyone is okay!

[@alieamohamed8153]

I will totally buy Cecilia’s book if she wrote one 😍😍😍😍😍

[@lynniew7376]

Just now watching this and I spotted a coffee mug with Seattle on it! My home.

[@johanna7254]

The poor puppies who thought you were leaving them........ omg that was so cute! Another lovely video Cecilia!

[@nancyl3843]

Astounded by the beauty of Svalbard. Many thanks to you and Christopher.

[@springsogourne]

There should be an award for the type if filming you do, you are a superb filmmaker, editor, narrator, the complete package. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Forever gratefu.

[@amtrakharry]

That was awesome guy's!!! It's also fun to see what color Cecilia's finger nails will be in each video!!! :):):)

[@happyhandcraftstudio]

Glorious! Thank you for sharing your part of our wonderful world. Can’t beat the cuteness quotient of the pups!🇨🇦❤️

[@movingforward6099]

This is much better then watching the news here in the states! Keep up the good work !! Cheers!!

[@janetsutherland7649]

I’m watching from southern NSW in Australia. Thank you for showing me this amazing part of the world.

[@bharathr8778]

I’m from INDIA,I got suggestion from KZbin, and I started watching all your videos… I love all of your videos ,thank you for showing me this amazing part of world.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@andie2809]

I loved this adventure! I have to admit that every time you use glacier ice for drinks my head spins! Knowing all the little things that are in the ice.😂😂 Thank you microbiology for making life difficult!😂😂🤦‍♀️

[@shannonguevara5896]

The Seattle mug! Representing my home! 💕

[@ireneosborn]

Seriously jaw dropping. I love how you capture this beautiful landscape.

[@johnlewis1078]

Best doggies ever! Love your videos, Cecilia... always beautiful scenery. Take care & be safe!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank youuuu!

[@christineumanzio1170]

I so appreciated the glacier ice!!!! That People must have tasted so good!

[@marnienorris]

One of my fave vids. Beautiful scenery.

[@EvieVermont]

I've never seen Kristoffer stressed! Wow! Nice views and lovely footage of Svalbard

[@Mizzy3030]

How beautiful! My dog is getting very old and losing her mobility, and this makes me miss the days of being able to hike 12K with her.

[@sunitaprabhakaran8168]

When I'm stressed I watch your video. It's amazingly healing. Thank you.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

🙏🏻🧡

[@greekchickie]

I love you for the whisper-shout out! Thank you for thinking of me!!! 💜💜😀 I don't know what stressed me out more ~ the boat nearly toppling over on to its side, or the fact that the yellow construction vehicle nearly drowned! These people are so skilled! I think when I come visit your beautiful island, I will probably cry at the scenery. It's just like no other anywhere on Earth. Thank you for taking us on your adventures ~ I truly feel so connected to you, your home, and your life. 💜💜 Marianna

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

hahah I'm so glad you heard it!! haha Everytime I pick up the mug, I also go, hi marianna haha 🧡

[@susiehughes6438]

Cecilia you have a beautiful life. I love watching your adventures. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

[@pollypocket2282]

Not if you reside by the beach Polly..we love FLA..We go on a winter sking vacation in Killington VT for any snow excitement..

[@maxplanck9055]

Not everyone can say they take their dogs on a rowing boat expedition around Svalbard! A fun trip Cecelia 😄✌️❤️🇬🇧

[@paigem7886]

"Oh my goodness! Christoffer looks like a different person without his hat on!" - me oh yea thats because it's not Christoffer lololol 😂😂😂 wowww

[@11kathleenanne]

I soooo love those reindeer antlers! I would secure it to a stand and hang coffee mugs on it.

[@louiserose2609]

Line drawing or maps to illustrate your book ... thanks again for your entertaining life you share with us!

[@BiohazardBunnies]

Cecilia makes me want to visit Svalbard so bad!! The views, the fauna, everything is just beautiful 💕😍

[@skiyogagirl]

This was a wonderful video! I loved the scenery (wow…especially the walrus lying on the edge of the bank in the water!) and the coffee making (so relaxing!), as well as Fenris helping you row 🤣! I will admit I almost had a heart attack when you were first pulling the boat out! I was happy to see the corrections made on the trailer…it went much more smoothly the second time! Thank you for sharing your boating adventures with us!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

hahah Fenris is so funny and awkward in the boat life! While Grim is a pro haha! Thank you for watching! 🧡

[@maisondusuave]

So gorgeous. Heavenly. Thank you.

[@dnmurphy48]

Great idea to learn to write a book. So much you could write based on your life in Svalbard. Look forward to it. provisional title "Polar bears and the northern lights"

[@bepoline4685]

Thank you for these beautiful videos Cecilia. I enjoy them very much and it fills my city girl heart with calm and nature love.

[@virginiakeim]

I know someone that got a good brushing when they got home! Maybe even a bath! But Grimm looked like he enjoyed himself! Beautiful scenery!!

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

Me and my minimal Swedish at the start of the video: I know those words! 😁 I am glad the boat is working now and what a gorgeous little trip you got to have.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

🤣

[@almantinaa]

How cool is just going out to take some ice for your drinks.

[@tinglelingaling6]

I want you to know how much I appreciate your videos. I have some health issues that stop me from travelling. I never would have known that Svalbard existed if it weren't for your videos. There are a few channels that get me out of my own head (I hope you know what I mean.) For a few minutes at least, I get to visit Svalbard with you. I think Christopher is a dolll. I love that people can juist go with their dreams. You are a treasure.

[@normasnockers323]

amazing place, the piano music is perfect for the landscape

[@sheilamann6721]

After you crossed the stream the view of sky was INCREDIBLE! Would make a great print.

[@nunopereira73]

I noticed that you enjoy very much the coffee. But nothing compares with the portuguese and italian coffees 😉, in that small cups, with a lot of cream, and quite strong. In Portugal we call that coffee "bica" and we love to drink it in the morning, middle of the morning, after the lunch... and... after that it's better to stop here, otherwise you will keep awake all the rest of the night... When we were in Scandinavia this summer we missed very much this latin ritual... the portuguese and italian coffees... Great video, once again!!! Greetings from Lisbon - PT!!

[@rocsund]

the two fur brothers are just soooo sweet and adorable! the way they make you laugh is priceless

[@CynaYoingco-yn3wh]

Love the dogs 🐶 just chillin.

[@junemunnik8308]

Absolutely love you guys and the animals x x x Gives me hope again in humanity x x x

[@lauralynnmonroe]

Love! Pink striped pjs, calming Christopher, fluffy happy dogs, polar bear coffee cup, walrus… omg omg omg… what a sweet dream

[@karensolla4735]

Poor Christopher! lol. He looked SO stressed, but I think you kept him calm/his anxiety down. I really love your content! Sending you love from Orlando, Florida! ❤ Edit: Also, YOU'RE READING A COURT OF MIST AND FURY?! I love everything by SJM! What do you think of the series?!

[@penbolton8287]

After binge watching your entire channel, I've been anxiously awaiting a new video and this one did not disappoint! If I was younger, I'd definitely be planning a trip to Svalbard, but since that is not possible, I will enjoy it through you, Cecilia! Love from Vermont in the States!

[@rebeccabeck8875]

I LOVE the ACOTAR series too! I am almost finished with A Court Of Mist & Fury. I have fallen in love with the books and purchased the whole set! I don't typically read fantasy but now I am hooked. Never have I fallen so deeply in love with a character in a book but the dark "villain" of the Night Court is my absolute favorite!

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

Thank you for another wonderful video. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[@mary333j]

With Christopher's cooking you'll all stay young and healthy for ever, it always looks delicious 🥰 great vlog💖 just wondering if these trips/ adventures are expensive on fuel?

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

haha right?! Since fuel prices have almost doubled here as well (still our prices are about half of norways). We try to go to one place and stay for a few days, instead of doing more shorter trips like we did last year :) A weekend can be around 3-400 usd in fuel cost!

[@manuelawiederkehr9167]

Beautiful place you are living. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Switzerland. Manuela

[@heatherydew3361]

Just what I needed today, the calming and beautiful scenery of Svalbard❤️ I also loved how the fur coats of Grim and Fenris match and complement the colours of the tundra. Stunning place 😍 Oh that made me laugh so much, "well I didn't make him [Grim]" 😆

[@albussnape2]

Fantastic drone footage! So very wild and beautiful, seemingly unspoiled by humans. Grateful the red-listed walrus finds sanctuary there. You’re so right about how the landscape reminds us how small we are.

[@sofieschepers5607]

There's an ocean in between us, love it! He is quite the drama-lama? Love Grim, he seems te be laughing all the time.

[@sherelynwhite4130]

Always enjoy your videos Cecilia! Happy boating! So beautiful and liked your friendly boat mate💙 Pooches adorable as always!🐺🐺Aloha from Hawaii!💖🌺🌈🙋‍♀️

[@TheReisetante]

Every video is so beautiful, cannot stop admiring the nature around you. Also the two dogs so cuddley.

[@cherylb6755]

Seeing Christoffer so stressed was disconcerting! While not surprised that all worked out well in the end, I am glad it did. I love your boat trips, Cecilia, as much as I enjoy your cabin trips… all while sitting on my couch and having a coffee. 😉🎬☕️

[@sj6728]

Breathtaking views. Thank you!!!!

[@caitlinmorrell8021]

This is what I do on my chill mornings…I make a coffee and snuggle up in bed to watch Cecilia, Christoffer & Grim’s adventures ❤️❤️❤️ I feel like this is the adult version of watching cartoons on a Saturday (which was the greatest thing ever!) 🥰🥰🥰

[@jinxie228]

Since I will never be able experience outings like this, I so appreciate you bringing us along.

[@georgespencer3973]

Cecilia, thank you for another wonderful video. The music you choose, the composition of your shots, the pace of the video. So good. You are very talented.

[@enhunter82]

Oh how I miss spending summers out on the boat fishing in Alaska. I saw a Seattle Starbucks mug! That’s where I live!

[@debbiefondow7871]

Such a beautiful vlog, Cecilia. The amazing landacape is overwhelmingly gorgeous. ❤️❤️

[@karindv9477]

Hellooo! I am A Dutchie, currently living in New Zealand and I just found your vlogs. Love them! Might have to binge watch from the start.🤯😍 Cuddles to Grim, he is ADORABLE! 😍❤️

[@rvdeddrift]

You two are so rad! Up in Alaska we use a similar method to beach launch boats. And almost none fit properly in the trailers! Lol! Looks like you absolutely sped through the retrofit and repair work too! That's cool to see in such a seemingly remote place. Bushcraft ingenuity and engineering! So excited to see the types of fishing you do there too! It's been a real treat watchin yer videos and getting to know Svalbard!

[@simonarichmond3626]

At Last some practical work (Sorry) I am a mariner and geologist and find this most fascinating . Keep up the good work . I understand Christopher , it can get a bit anxious when hauling a boat out the water . At least you have it repaired and you can enjoy boasting and maybe even some fishing ( cod or even halibut ) for your larder/freezer . Happy boating !!

[@springsogourne]

I hope Chris appreciates your energy and positive spirit. He is low key energy and hopefully he benefits from your high energy personality.

[@meganjoelyn2207]

Poor Grim. There is nothing worse than when your Uber is late. This was such a cool video. You live in a beautiful place. I live in Southern California, and it is hot. Your videos are getting me through summer, so thank you!

[@michelleroberts9721]

Cecilia I wish you would get a book mark😜Lovely views of those mountains. What amazing peaceful times they are on your boat. Just a lovely time to relax, walk, drink coffee and read. Thanks for a lovely video

[@LindaKordich]

Loving your channel. You’re incredibly entertaining.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Great video - the shots from the boat and drone are amazing!

[@profesormadyadr.rohizaniya7176]

We arrived in Svalbard on the 13th July, joined Polar Pioneer from 14th-23rd July. We checked in Svalbard Hotel on the 23rd, and I in particular was hoping to meet you in person! We asked around...no luck! I have followed your channel for quite some time. Watched many of your postings.
