The positives is that it’s so peacefully quiet. Staying there during polar night would be ideal for someone wanting to focus on writing a book, creating music, art, etc.

“This is something we get to experience, not just endure” I so appreciate your perspectives and enjoyment of life and the time of life/year/season you’re in. So well said and proves every experience is worth while when we choose the right view.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

I'm so happy to hear that resonates with you 😍😊

[@Shakodancer16]

Right! This I could posisibly like to experience but if it was like always 90 degrees I would have to tolerate and endure that

[@tiamia7139]

​​@@CeciliaBlomdahlI love cold weather and the still quiet of winter (my late mother was from Montreal so it's in my blood, I guess 🥶❄️). I definitely get the Svalbard vibe. Thank you for sharing your enchanted life with us. ❄️💙🌌

[@silvi_ya]

@@CeciliaBlomdahl Truly, we can learn a lot from you Cecilia! 😊❤

[@bunny_0288]

​@@Shakodancer16 90 isn't that bad. I live in Texas. It got up to 110 this past summer. It's usually 90's+ from May/June-October here. You get used to it. We have A/C and lots of pools. I love to swim, so I spend a lot of summer by the pool. It's wonderful! When it's 90, I can still go on walks. It's hot, but bearable. Once it gets into triple digits is really when it feels like you're ensuring 😂. Especially since we have a humid heat here vs a dry heat. Dry heat feels totally different. When you're in the shade with a nice breeze you can handle it. But a humid heat just feels suffocating. Like the air is made out of pea soup 😂. But again that's more in the triple digits. Low 90's is hot, but bearable.

[@nampa2385]

People who have worked through 365 days,17 hours a day ,6 days a week really do need this two polar months in their life.

[@flourishwithzel]

Videos like these make me thankful for youtube and creators like you, and internet. (Not a book reader) I would never learn that there's such a place like this on Earth. I'm from a very tropical country and I wish to experience this. On a lighter note, I can't imagine how much sunscreen I get to save during polar nights. 😂❤

[@KeishaHart2]

Now you have me wondering how much money us black people save NOT having to buy sunscreen! 🤔😊

[@JenniferCamche]

Your videos have helped me to start appreciating our Canadian winter. It gets dark around 4:30 PM, but that is nothing compared to your polar night! I used to dread winter...but seeing your love of the snow, the Arctic, and the cold...has made me try to reframe my view and I think this will be my best winter ever. Thank you so much for your videos and happy personality.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Awww that makes me SO HAPPY! 😍

[@mom-ys9sb]

She really puts things into a positive light doesn't she - Hi from fellow Canadian who enjoys her videos too !!!

[@theresamnsota3925]

I’m in Wisconsin, and the 4:30pm darkness can hit hard. I’m also now working overnights, so I sleep when it’s daylight and awake when it’s dark. I had to get one of those daylight therapy lamps.

[@JenniferCamche]

@@mom-ys9sb Totally! It really gives a different outlook on life in the snow! I love her youthful joy about the cold, the dark, and the snow. I find myself walking out onto my deck in the morning with my coffee, and just taking in the fresh air, the woods around me and the beauty of the wintery landscape here. I am in Quebec and we already have snow. albeit not a lot ...YET. lol.

[@JenniferCamche]

​@@theresamnsota3925 I have a "happy light" too. I was actually using it today. I wonder if @CeciliaBlomdahl uses one? They are great! It is much needed in northern climates when the angle of the sun is so low and when the days start to get shorter. I consider this "candle season" and time for "Hygge".

[@HarryCopperPot]

I appreciate the clip of the globe spinning to show how polar night happens!

I love winter but no the super short days in the UK. I can’t go for runs after work because it’s dark and I don’t feel safe.

[@Shabssaif]

The Sun is so important to our life. It shifts a little and that causes change in season and in someplaces its complete darkness for months. I live in a tropical country and its hot almost 10 months of the year and hate is sometimes but enjoy winters however I cant imagine living in a world wirhout Sun. A few days out and it gets cold, dark

What are you saying?

[@mcentepede]

The tilt axis of the planet causes this phenomenon. The Caribbean gets tropical weather all year round, but susceptible to hurricanes. California has great weather, but susceptible to earthquakes. Ghana is hot, humid and sticky, if no air conditioning, this is very uncomfortable. Apparently white Europeans don't like the hot weather because they sweat and sticky. They don't like this feeling

[@laurensanford8629]

@@sapphire22011 you're meaning seasonal affective disorder right? If so I'm not sure but that's an incredibly smart idea 💡 to get special lights that mimic natural sunlight because that's part of what makes me so sad this time of year and I'd definitely buy them from her and Grimm and Christoffer

[@sapphire22011]

@@laurensanford8629 yes seasonal affective disorder is exactly what I mean. If u suffer from this u can either ask ur doctor about them or Google companies that supply them. They are pretty effective. My cousin sufferers from SAD quite badly and she's complicated by fact her Vitamin D levels are really low and supplements no use to her as she can't absorb nutrients very well as she had a section of her bowels removed years ago and she goes low on several nutrients. You also need to watch ur own diet - my vit D was down to only 11% and only picked up in routine bloods last year. They have no idea why it may be a family trait but I'm now on the right supplements

I think Grim should have his own segment for all of the sponsors 😍 in Minnesota it is starting to shift to the winter and honestly I’d rather have the cold and snow than the 90+ degree (Fahrenheit) summers with 70%+ humidity. You show everyone how to love the cold ❤

Hi Cecillia, I am a new subscriber and I just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I enjoy watching your videos. You are so talented, your cinematography, and the drone footage you have is truly some of the best I have seen on the internet! You have such an artistic and creative way of showing us stories of your home and life. My husband really likes to see what Christopher is up to as well. They are very much alike, my husband is always repairing something or tinkering with some project and he enjoys boating and cooking as well. We live in Savannah Georgia USA. Our lives are very different, yet when I watch your videos I feel as if you are both kindred spirits. We especially love the videos with dear Grim. I believe Grim is one of the cutest dogs ever! He adores you both, you can really see it in his eyes. :). I hope you have a wonderful Polar Night season and get to do all the cozy things you look forward too. Have a wonderful day ahead.

But I’m glad you are one of those who enjoys and has no issues with 2 months of no daylight.

It would be interesting to see how the constant exposure to darkness (and lack of light exposure) affect brain chemistry and wellbeing.

[@bellaolum9768]

There must be a lot of depressed people over there

I enjoyed this. Reminds me of when my sister in law was touring in the Navy and was in Iceland, I believe. She tried explaining their long seasons of continual days and continual nights. Thx for sharing. Stay safe. ❤️

[@user-eg8pv2om7j]

Another stylish, hygge video that makes me feel slightly warmer here in freezing 5°c Snowdonia.

[@giellekaikey6000]

I also love the peaceful darkness either day or night. I love the quietness…and seeing things that seems to be miracles. Cool place.

[@michelepfaff5363]

You help make me appreciate Winter again....I would like to try Polar night at least once!!! Your contagious Cecilia, I love it!!! Your nails look beautiful.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

I'm so glad! 😍

[@barbaratillman8552]

Ohmygosh, love your video. It's the first I've seen and I'll be watching them all. Peace and quiet is something I need & I've always loved the dark and the dead of night hours. Thx for sharing

[@astromohannikam-patil2067]

It is really a miracle for we people living near equator. Usually, about 15 degree cold, it is already chilling cold for us. You people living in such an adverse climate have good adaptation with the polar atmosphere.

[@nidhiparekh4898]

Cecilia, I love your videos and your perspective towards life is amazing. I stay in Canada and its winter and I always feel the seasonal blue but because of you I am starting to like winter and make the most of it by being cozy and warm and just not making it into a big deal. You have no idea how helpful you are to so many people. Thank you so much. Much love ❤

It is wild, and I love that you share your experiences of polar night. It’s wonderful.

[@albertarose1433]

As a former Alaskan, who only left to care for my ailing mother, and call Alaska my beloved, your videos make me happy. I can actually feel the cold and smell the clean air and absorb the northern lights. Thank you Cecilia and Christoffer and Grim. We love you! ❤

[@dariadykyj2179]

I love how you hug and cuddle Grimm!

[@trevordickson8617]

Thanks for sharing. New experiences, even vicarious ones, are always interesting. It looks like another world. Cozy.

[@patriciasalem3606]

I would love to experience polar night for two years -- one to figure it out and the next to savor it like you, Cecilia.

[@sydneymarshall3204]

Yay I’m early! We just got our first snow yesterday here in Kansas and I just love watching your videos! They are so comfy and soothing to watch. ❤

[@Neophema]

I live in Oslo, and about six hours of daylight at the darkest is dark enough for me. I do think I'd feel differently if I lived somewhere more calm and quiet and didn't have a day job, though, because I do love getting up early in the darkness to light my candles and relax when I have days off. It's just the getting up in the dark to go to work part... ugh. :p

[@ejajahmed5796]

For darkness is fate, try to enjoy as much as possible, Cecilia, thanks for your message

[@DebraLesso]

Must be beautiful to " Actually " see the night sky planets stars soo peaceful. Fresh clean air so healthy.

[@shauntismith8733]

Cecilia, I am a new subscriber. Thank you for letting us into your everyday life. Svalbard is beautiful during the polar nights. Grim is the cutest! Love your videos, look forward to next week's video.

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, wow! I admire anyone who can handle this without going insane. I get so sick & depressed in Chicago when it's dark by 4:30-5:00. I cannot fathom how it must be with pitch black all day, for months. But it's so beautiful there, so that would help a lot!

[@mcjs8640]

Have you tried a S.A.D. lamp? They can be really effective. Best wishes.

[@Yesica1993]

@@mcjs8640 I've been looking into them for a while. Actually just looked at a clock last night! Thanks.

[@elisabethe8055]

At 11:58, there is a meteor to the left of the polarbear sign! I think winter is long and dark over here, but we do get 3 hours of daylight at the darkest time of year. I struggle with that, so you guys are great inspirations to handle this very rough time of the year. Soon advent, that helps allot! Tack för att du delar Cecilia!

[@DK-kg1fe]

Why are all the dogs howling and barking at that same time?

[@itsjustJen7304]

Great eye

[@99claire]

Ooh love it! Thank you for pointing that out

[@tristantheoofer2]

lemme guess, fairbanks or somewhere in finland or sweden?

@@tristantheoofer2 you are a good guesser! Sweden sir! At almost the same latitude as Fairbanks, a tad north. :)

[@pradeepacharya5943]

I can hardly imagine a country without the life giving Sunlight.Lovely video ,Miss,also very informative.

[@nelsonvalencia7889]

The positive is that it's so peacefully quite. Staying there during Polar Night would be ideal for someone wanting to focus on writing a book, creating music, art etc. 😍🇵🇭

[@suzannedelgado4542]

Thank goodness, it's Sunday afternoon..I look forward so much to my weekly holiday to svalbard. Thank you guys! 🇬🇧

[@scot60]

Polar night in full force. Meanwhile, here in North Texas I’m freezing because it’s 39degrees Fahrenheit and breezy. lol. I would be constantly looking around for Polar Bears in all that dark. Cristoffer is so chill about all this. Just love you two.

[@lijohnyoutube101]

Lol In MI I finally told all the kids as it’s reaching teens in the evenings the last of the shorts need put away for the season! I put my shorts away when it’s mid 40’s consistently but they hold out for a few more weeks lol :)

[@nikkijackson1767]

I would be looking for wild animals as well! I would be scared to be out at dark/day time knowing it’s going to stay dark for a very long time.

[@nica9565]

I would ADORE to be able to experience the island during polar night. Coming from a tropical island where our winter is spent in beaches and our Christmas is spent under 85-90 degree weather, and since I was a little girl I’ve dreamt of seeing the Northern Lights, ever since I found your channel I’ve fallen in love with how magical it seems to be. I hope some day I’ll be able to live that experience, it would be a dream. Extremely enjoy your videos. Much love 🫶🏼

[@Zen-cx5tc]

Same, I will love to experience this.

[@Cruel_Shoes]

People who do not live in subtropical or tropical environments cannot appreciate a place like this. I live in Texas, which has a subtropical environment. That we do have a quick change of seasons, we mostly have hot weather. And it’s excruciatingly bright. This is my idea of heaven. And it helps being a night owl. And I suffer from insomnia, but when it’s gloomy outside, I sleep like a log. This place was made for me. If this place was part of the United States where moving there would be no problem, I start would relocation efforts today.

[@lunaeclair107]

It's my first time on your channel. I love the scenery. Life goals...praying that my child and I experience the beauty of an Island close to the North Pole. This is an amazing coziest view ever seen.

[@betsykroll6583]

So glad to hear you love the darkness, I've always said I prefer longer nights because I feel more at peace but everyone thinks I am mad
