Inside the Svalbard Seed Bank KZbin has a video showing the inside of the seed bank. About 8 years ago the manager of the seed bank gave a tour showing all there is to see and explaning how the seed bank works. Really interesting!

[@WacoUIC1933]

Happy birthdays, Cecilia and Christoffer! I had my 70th birthday this week, and I agree with you completely about the advantages of growing older. Each decade has been better than the prior one. My mental, emotional, and spiritual health have matured and grown as the years pass. Keeping one's physical health in tip-top form is an important part of fully enjoying one's advanced years. I still ski and hike, and I still enjoy the beauties of nature every day. You're on the right path; keep it up!

Enjoy your life with Grimm! His mischief and all! The years with your dog go by so quickly. We just put down our Shih Tzu named Sydney, who was 16 years-old (3 months from turning 17). She was the sweetest little girl! We picked up her ashes and clay paw print on Friday. We miss her so much and are trying to adjust to life without her. She was all my 13-year-old daughter knew, and she’s grieving the loss of the dog who was essentially her older sister! Not trying to make this comments section depressing, but just wanted to remind you to cherish every moment with him! They may not live nearly as long as we do, but the impact they leave on our lives is profound!

[@windwatcher11]

So sorry for your loss! They are so much a brightness in our lives! 😢

Watching the northern lights on video is fantastic. Seeing the northern lights in person is a new experience that everyone should have.

When you were talking about your 30s being the best, I feel the same. I've accomplished more in my 30s than I did the entire first 30 years of my life. became an author, trained to be a therapist, built a therapy practice, became self employed, finished a BA... so many things. I can't wait to see what my 40s brings.

[@misslannie73]

Grim is fabulous! I laughed so hard at the “Post Office Christmas Tree Incident “ 😂😂😂. I love him! xx

[@abigailcross624]

I loved my 30s and while my 40s have been my hardest lessons I live the perspective I have in this decade of my life. I’m only a few years away from my 50s and I’ll admit it’s a little scary but I accept that age is something we can’t change, it’s all about embracing the new phase with gusto ❤

[@janiceh4521]

Ooohh the best vibes, bright moon, northern lights, the lit cozy village glowing. I love these videos and hope to experience it myself in my lifetime ❤

[@Iissafaith]

The American show "60 Minutes" did a story in 2008 about the Svalbard seed vault called "A Visit To The Doomsday Vault" - I didn't want to link it cause I didnt want you to worry about clicking some link from someone you don't know - and if you Google it, it should come up. It's a coolstory and you might find it interesting. For me, it's like, I remember watching it back in 2008 and who knew years later I'd be watching weekly videos about the place?? : )

[@lesleynelson7708]

I love that you get so excited about polar night even though you have lived there for almost a decade! ❤️

[@ZaWarudo69]

I am an Indian and have never experienced the snow. I would like to visit Norway or Svalbard once in my life. I love watching your videos; it makes me somewhat experience how life must be there.

[@theresamnsota3925]

My maternal grandmother grew up speaking Swedish and my maternal grandfather grew up speaking German. Like you mentioned, we have always celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve. We would go to 5pm church service, come home and eat Christmas dinner, then open family gifts. Some years we’ve also attended the 10pm candlelight Christmas Eve church service. Santa Claus would come after we went to sleep Christmas Eve. We would then open our gifts from Santa on Christmas Day. The best part, we didn’t have to wait for our parents to wake up on Christmas morning to open Santa gifts.

[@juliekendrick-finn707]

Thank you so much Cecilia for showing us the sky. Please do it again any time you want to and as many times as you want to. I know I will never get bored with watching something that beautiful.

[@kiwiopklompen]

I remember turning thirty and thinking - oh I love this age. Feel more secure etc. Then my older friend said - ah wait till you turn forty that’ll be great too. But then actually 50, no that’s the best. 😝 And now im 60 and im like - no this is the best!

[@dragonpynk5091]

always enjoy your videos. Grim is the cutest!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

[@KandeShack]

Reminds me of my winters in Minnesota. Of course we didn’t have polar nights but very cold and long winters. My younger Brother was an amazing hockey player. When he was younger they would practice outdoors. The only time they ever cancelled outdoor practice was when the windchill factor was -70 below 0!! The lung tissues would freeze! We are tough folks but nothing compared to how tough you and Christoffer are! Happiest of Birthdays to you and Christoper!!🎉🎈🎉🎈

Happy birthday, Cecilia and Kristopher. The 30s are the best. At 40, you begin to need cheater glasses to read, etc, and many ppl are approaching the apex of life's hill. IMHO, the 30s are the best. Enjoy God bless.

I started following your blog pretty regularly after my visit to Longyearbyen for a few hours only..came in a cruise ship in the month of June 2024. It's an amazing place, but being from India, I can't imagine myself living there in such a harsh and barren climate. Love from India and do keep on blogging.

My favorite part of the weekend. It’s always like having coffee with a friend and it makes me so happy. I’ve even gotten the boyfriend watching.

I am so intrigued with your channel. I am fascinated that so many people live in Svalbard. But everything is so beautiful.The snow covered mountains to the ocean. Me being from south central Texas just can't imagine how I would adjust to the cold and darkness. It is currently 70°F at 10am. A bit warmer than usual though. Thank you for sharing your day with us. And the northern lights.
