When Nordic people talk about a 3 hour travel on a snowmobile in the Arctic wilderness and tough terrain in pitch darkness and Polar bears walking around as if they are going to the local park around the corner..... 😳😱 😃 🤘👏👏👏

[@jasonpayneuk]

Please never worry about always saying how beautiful it is there cos I can guarantee that everyone one watching is thinking the same, the scenery is spectacular and I’m sure I’m not the only one looking forward to safe travel again and booking a week or two break to Svalbard! Thank you so much Cecelia, your videos are the best and a great advert for your gorgeous island life! 🥰

[@jamesfirehummer3216]

7:40 "bla bla bla coffee yes" yup, sounds like me in the morning.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Hahaha 😆

[@shawni321]

Such a rugged way of life but still alluring. I would be a little freaked out by the constant threat of the bears, tho. Nice videos. Subscribed.

[@heidip5042]

so glad everything is okay and hope your leg is okay after that flip ya had. The cabin looks nice and cozy. That toilet is literally the meaning: "freezing your butt off"

[@alext9540]

After watching one of your current videos, we’re hooked! Now starting from the beginning and watching forward to the present. Well done! More polar bears please!!

[@user-yy7sw5vg6r]

Same here👋🏼🇨🇦

[@craigkeough1375]

I've stumbled upon your channel and I've quite enjoyed the documentation of your life up north near the Arctic. What a beautiful and peaceful area to live in :-)

[@lizzyp679]

Lol "bla bla bla..coffee." The translation is utter perfection, I'm sure! 😂 loved it

[@janinafisher101]

The cabin really looks so cozy, both inside and outside, with the candlelight. Sometimes it's really good to go without electricity!

[@kater.7563]

Love seeing the cabin before the renovation.

[@HalveZOL]

Coughing out the candlelight :D :D Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing!!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

haha! Thank you so much for watching!

[@ErobererTH]

Its funny how People living already at the coldest and darkest place still decide to travel at weekends to places where its even colder and not as cozy as anywhere else.

[@lsgill123]

Planning to be there first week of march. Hope to see you. Thanks for uploading. Your video is the latest regarding this place.

[@dhruvadeshmukh1248]

Omg even watching this vedio g8ving me chills 🥶

[@sandybeach4751]

So you still loved your coffee as much then as now. Lol. Good to see the cabin before the build again. I always enjoy it when you go off to a remote cabin so it’s lovely to watch these ones I have not seen.

[@laurriebaurrie]

i love how she mentions like for two seconds that her vehicle caught on fire and then moves on lolol! also you drive for two hours on a snowmobile in pitch darkness... how do you know where to go? 😱

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

hahah I almost broke my legs AND set Christoffer's new snowmobile on fire haha. We have GPS with tracks from previous years trips :)

[@AllthingsXio]

Ceciliaaaaa...... Jaz and I are having coffee at 9:20 pm in NJ watching you..

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Woooohoo! ⭐️😊

[@AndrewMuse]

Looking forward to more of these. I can’t wait to get back to Svalbard!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

🤩🤩🤩 I hope to bring you on an epic Svalbard adventure soon Andrew!! Get your butt up here 🌟

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

Me too I would love to go there for real though

[@fynejules]

Did the pups run the whole way to Selbu? How did you find this cabin? Airbnb? What did you do about the bathroom situation? It is so amazingly beautiful and eerily isolating at the same time.

[@heatherhickman9116]

Love these sorts of trips

[@lindamonrad2989]

I am enjoying watching you and Grim on your wonderful videos Cecilia. Wishing you, Christopher and the cute and cuddly Grim a Merry Christmas from Aotearoa (NZ) . I’m also a HUGE coffee lover and a dog lover too, I have three dogs, they’re all the size of a husky. Our Christmas Day will be around 22c maybe a little bit of rain and then some blue sunny skies, I will most likely take a swim in the sea near our house in the afternoon that’s if the sun comes out, at the moment the sea is around 15c to 17c. Sending love ❤️ Lindy

[@theladyshines.]

I stumbled across your channel from one video that popped up to me and got hooked, so now watching from the beginning. I have subscribed. A lifestyle so different and just as wonderful as my own. I love it, thank you for showing us your world :) You made me smile when you opened the toilet door, o m g well..... there is a slight problem, I sure hope you were not in a desperate hurry *tries hard not to laugh*. I guess you had to dig it out? Hoping your leg mends fast and sorry to hear of the mishap with the snowmobile....... happens. Hi to yourself, Christopher and Grim, greetings from the tropics in Queensland Australia. :)

[@kendijudy2250]

I love how much of this video was ... must find coffee ... sounds like me 90% of the day haha

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Hahah 🤣🤣🤣

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

Coffee is disgusting but I love the smell

[@Nsm2024]

It was a beautiful cabin out in winter wonderland no doubt ,wish u had more daylight to show us around it over there ,,,no light mostly dark 😌😌😌😌

[@jiba6327]

Your videos are so amazing. There are a lot of funny places and people arround the world. I like your videos very much. Keep safe. Best wishes from Poland.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Glad you like them! :):)

[@maryshera]

Please upload more of complete darkness 24/7. I am amazed ehehehe Svalbard is defo on my list to visit but maybe with midnight sun Haha.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

I will make a buuunch of videos now that the polar night is soon here 😍 Thank you do much for watching 🙏🧡

[@gehrigbjr]

LOVE!! 💙💙

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thaaaank you Gehrig!!

[@aresaurelian]

I would love to go fossil hunting on those slopes.... ideal for finding fossils, but dangerous in many ways. The history in those majestic mountains is unfathomable. What an adventure to live part of the year up there. I wonder if tourists can explore the rich wildlife in the ocean?

[@wendi2819]

I'm totally fascinated with your channel so I was trying to find your very beginning video. How old is your Christoffer? You make the perfect couple and family with Grim! How did you make the transition from a paying job over to working for yourself in this manner? Are there many others doing this on Slavsbard? I've found one other photographer from Rio de Janeiro. Your home is just gorgeous. I too love it when daylight savings time ends and it's dark outside by 5:20pm. It feels like a blanket to me too. I would love having your experience. Thanks for making your wonderful videos from West Virginia, USA.👍💗👍💗👍🐕🐕🐕🐕

[@glennk.7348]

Thank you for the maps!

[@khairunazniazwa2052]

Wow amazing. Hello from malaysia.

[@earlregala6284]

Hi. Just saw your page by accident. What a lovely cabin you have there. I am curious as to how you power your cabin? Using gas/diesel generators, via solar, etc?

[@0HARE]

Very nice episode. I really enjoyed it. I’m wondering where you get the fire wood. I don’t imaging there are any forests there in Svalbard. Wishing you all well.

[@katerinazervata]

Looks nice and cozy ! don't you get tired of packing and unpacking all the time ??? Does the city takes care of those cabins ? Whom do they belong too ? Do you pay to rent them for the weekend ?

[@sanamasood100]

Wow amazing, but life there would be so tough, no light 24/7!!!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Polar night is my favourite time of year!! :) It is calm, quiet and beautiful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@mountainconstructions]

Something I've noticed You have a Split System AicCon on the wall... I had no idea they could work with such low outdoor temperatures? Can you explain if it's a s special model for arctic applications?

[@amyeitelberg1598]

Where do you use the bathroom? I cannot believe it was frozen over!

[@jeffmckie7300]

Some solar cells on the roof would work really well in the summer. A lead acid battery would work. Might be too cold for l ion.

[@TeeshJay]

omg i can’t imagine! it seems very romantic though and a lot of hard work!!

[@brisatre81]

😂😂😂 your reaction with the toilet 😂😂

[@reonamartin127]

Can u pls make a vlog on jobs in tourism and is it safe for a single girl to move here

omg the bathroom hahah

[@Ph_e_]

I’m obsessed

[@GagandeepSingh-hh2rc]

Svalbard beautiful destination

[@dimakonax]

How much does Gas / Diesel cost on the island ? Also is depression a big thing on the island ? Because you guys don’t have sun for so long

[@Sandy-zr5hs]

Cabin looks cosy with the fairy lights...BUT that’s all I’m afraid I can say positive, this would be my idea of the worst weekend, dark all the time, cold, middle of nowhere, polar bears roaming around, etc etc. I love your dogs though 😊

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

[@juanpablojimenezsalazar6977]

Minor problem with the toilet? LOL

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

haha!

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Looks like everyone had a nice cabin trip. Glad you emerged safely from your accident. Do you (Cecilia & Christoffer and Einar & Lynn) register separately in the cabin lottery drawings to get the best chances of winning? Stay safe.

[@mamix65]

What do you do for a living up there?

[@mattwruff]

What is your internet speed? since your really way away from things!

[@susannechakan4939]

Sounds dangerous, driving snowmobiles in the DARK, with snow and ice and Polar Bears! I hope you leg is ok. Lucky the entire snowmobile didn't catch on fire. Loved the toilet though 🤣 Obsessed with watching your YT's even if I don't understand why you would want to go some place in the dark and cold to sleep on the floor? They don't have those bunk beds that they usually have in cabins? I mean.....really....how hard would it be to put in some bed frames up off the floor? And lanterns that can run by batteries or candles, but safer and give off more light. Now looking for the very first KZbin

[@jonnygeez]

ok im hooked...subbed and liked

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thaaank you! 😊😊🙏🙏

[@Liezjeuh]

Oh my goodness, hope you didn't hurt your leg too badly. Lol, the parts where you speed the footage up so you're talking with a 'chipmunk' voice haha :-) Ok, so ehm .... where do you go to the 'toilet' then? Just....somewhere behind a rock or something? So interesting to see this Arctic life. How much we take for granted here in Belgium. Loved your nails by the way :-) not that it matters cause I'm a year behind on this vlog, but for what it's worth.... :-)

[@roachtoasties]

Cool toilet. 9:00

[@luismoralesgarcia7529]

where do you guys get the wood from? (5:33) didnt see any trees XD. like your videos, like :)

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

It is imported from the mainland via boat, since nothing grows here :) So wood is quite expensive for us here hehe

[@tinagirton7761]

So where did you go to the bathroom? LOL!

[@kellyandkidsx1546]

Did the dogs run the entire ride? Lol

[@knackattack5909]

How often do you run across the polar bears and what do you do when that happens? Also aren’t you afraid the bears will attack the dogs?

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

You never know but it isn' that often. They often stay away since we make a lot of noise with our snowmobiles etc If you do come across one you do your best to get out of the situation without having to fire your gun or harm the bear .

[@sunnee63]

Does anyone have cats in Svalbard? "My snowmobile flipped. It started burning..." No big deal.

[@dgrjazz]

I read on wiki that for some reason cats are illegal on Svalbard.

[@thomasnorb4077]

@@dgrjazz Due to their impact on the local birds. There are some cats there though.

[@beejensen]

I wanted to ask this too!

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Grim had to run?

[@uncertifiedeats]

I’m curious how they go to the bathroom 😅 like do they bury it in the snow?

[@susannechakan4939]

I think they have to truck it back to Longyearban and deposit it in a special place. Not allowed to leave that behind because the ground is frozen

[@davidthompson7538]

Where do you get the wood for heating.

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

There's no trees on the island so they get all the wood from the mainland

[@martiwillis1848]

Was just wondering this so glad you asked

[@ferbojalil5712]
