Reindeer in Rough Weather - Wildlife Photography on Svalbard

[@diaryofcreation582]

Nikon could not ask for better advertisement for the Z9 😄

[@ritanarayanan1489]

the critters at Hilmer's are spoiled by Dad 🤣...... and we by Morten's lovely posts. Sitting comfortably & enjoying all that hard work but of course the stark beauty must call to him. We cannot express how fortunate we are to be able to view your Ode to Svalbard. Many such travels am sure lie ahead & many more magical moments. As always 🥂

[@DaniConnorWild]

Incredible visual storytelling. Your videos have gone up a level with this one!

[@jroynorris2963]

Great to see you back Morten. Another amazing video as always. Thanks. I am looking forward to the next episode.

[@DM-xb9zv]

I am in awe…words are simply inadequate.

[@bozhidarmadzharov7066]

One should really love nature, living things and his job to go through such extremes. Morten showed us hardcore wildlife photography and devotion. Such inspiration! Incredible adventure Morten. Rock it on!

[@Jon_Doh]

How them dogs cope with the cold is unreal. Just a mad wild terrain.

[@SteveTheTechy]

Amazing photographs. The lack of contrast, the deer appearing in the mist of snow, no horizons. Fabulous.

[@denisesavage2382]

Oh my goodness Morten! You photograph some amazing creatures in some of the most amazing and incredibly brutal environments. That anything can survive such a place just blows my mind. Thank you for sharing the story and reality. Absolutely loved the images you shared. I have a great respect for how you've come to photograph the creatures, and also the people and creatures who live in such places. Goodness . . . .

[@rogertemple7193]

Very Beautiful photography and scenery not much nice weather but it is still very beautiful and there is so much unexplored places here. 📷🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻📷

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Incredibly work. I know every PBS filmer does this much work, but this is the real thing for us all to see. I like your minimalist photos and have a couple on the wall. Waiting to see a print of pure white with one little black dot. I'd buy it.

[@jamesurzykowski4918]

AMAZING pictures! Morton you are just one in a billion. Not only are you a great photographer but you are also a very wise man. The Danish military trained you well. You were one of their elite soldiers! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and photography with the rest of the world!

[@adamromek5386]

👏👏👏 More, more, more

[@AlinFlair]

Amazing. Your stories are like fine wine ! 🍷

[@andrewyeates7717]

Absolutely incredible footage of the reindeer. There is a lot to be said for living in that environment like your friend and his family. Away from all the rubbish and troubles of urban worlds. I would think its a happier life in this day and age

[@sueellen7]

Thanks

[@MortenHilmer]

Another one from you Sue - thank you so much:)

[@CraigJOutdoors]

These days, the content I get most excited about is when I see a new Morten video. Great as always!

[@LucasTJahn]

Those conditions look utterly brutal and at the same time serenely beautiful. There is something very fascinating about entirely white landscapes. Highly appreciate the fact that you brave blizzards for such an extended period of time to bring us this stunning footage. And needless to say, those Svalbard reindeer are just incredibly adorable.

[@georgiewanders]

Extraordinary videos mate, KZbin seems poor when you haven’t posted for a while. Thank you for the inspiration , the journey , the affection for wildlife and the earth . Thank you for making dreams come true

[@jdsd771007]

Can’t tell you how excited I get every time I see you post a new video! Love the landscapes and wildlife, especially the colder, harsher trips you take. Just as captivating as anything NatGeo puts out, and you really make the viewer feel immersed in the landscape! Thank you for the excellent content.

[@nldazuu]

amazing how you deal with these circumstances and than are able making this video. The photos of the reindeers are just WoW….. thanks Morten for this nice video.

[@adammacsween3230]

Thank you for your amazing storytelling Morten. The dream would be to do an expedition with you. Absolutely amazing

[@andylee8251]

thank you Your Videos👍

[@belaacs5238]

"Respect has to be earned", you and your friends even the reindeers and dogs who live in that place definitely earned it. Thanks.

[@JermeyACL]

Je l'attendait depuis un moment et je suis pas déçu, merci ❤🤩

[@tudora5498]

What an amazing place! Thank you for masterfully capturing some of its essence and sharing it with us, as probably most of the people watching will not get to visit such a location.

[@cindyconlin1]

Winter wildlife photography at its best! I enjoy your videos so much! And good tip on looking after the Nikon equipment when in cold weather. Looks like it was a fantastic trip!

[@zohair-lab]

Finally!! Ahh this takes me back to the good ole Svalbard video😍

[@f.sailaway5549]

Great video! 👍🏼 I only missed the coffee ☕ part.

[@emanuelbief7088]

[@Jaigo-Ar]

[@madechandraarunaputrafkhip7696]

[@porkster5924]

What an incredibly harsh environment. An amazing way of life too.

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Thank you for sharing your always-beautiful work, Morten! Looking forward to the next one. Take good care of yourself!

[@Elisa-vq4iz]

Amazing landscape! Thank's for your work, i can see so many parts of the world that I will never be able to visit🤗

[@christophwagner6851]

[@chessreaction.]

I enjoy when I watching a Morten Hilmer's videos 🙌

[@achyutacharya1624]

finally MORTEN HILMER is on screen ...😀❤

[@john_norris]

Awesome Morten! There was something different about your voice too. So natural and it was great to hear your observations about the reindeers'. Thank you very much!

[@aynsleycooper365]

Thank you Morten (and Martin and Karina) for this remarkable insight. I can only imagine the difficulty of living and working in these conditions, or surviving as a wild animal.

[@guycl2381]

One whole month ... what a dream ... fantastic ! I'm eagerly awaiting the next episodes, before we go ourselves for a week beginning of june. Beautiful pictures. Kind regards, Guy.

[@vickychristopoulos8614]

They're beautiful, and seem so fragile, like ghosts in the snow

[@rdalrt]

So awesome! So epic! Thank you so much Morten for bringing us along on this adventure. Absolutely incredible!

[@waynekirk8951]

Such dedication in those conditions. Incredible...

[@CJamesPhoto]

Stunning video, you always know how to bring everything to life for the rest of us, almost felt like I was there. Thanks again for bringing me along. 😊

[@p.ashukkur4613]

Always a great watch, thank you Morten what an adventure.

[@Torbjoern76]

What an amazing way of life. All year long in such an environment. Thanks for the glimpse in this life and the nature, again!! Can’t wait to watch the next episode!

[@old4004]

I always look forward to your blizzard photo experiences, Morton. Your musk oxen adventures are always really special along with all of the other animals and birds that are able to survive in such beautiful but deadly conditions. This South Texas guy is really impressed. Please keep those adventures coming!

[@joannejohnson]

Wonderful film Thank-you. Morten

[@thephotoyak]

Those people who live on Svalbard are tough, but I don't think you would feel as isolated living there as those people you worked with in Grise Fiord. Beautiful landscape.

[@KarenPAlexander]

This was well worth the wait, as usual! The scenery is so breathtaking! It feels like you took us with you... and the sled dogs are beautiful. I admire how you get along with nature and the cold to get amazing photos.

[@gary.kenyon]

A fantastic video with great video footage and photos.

[@BezekCo]

I cant get over how well you put together these documentary videos. Outstanding and very enjoyable to watch

[@Pop-zb3wr]

I went on a dog sledding trip with Greendog when I was in Svalbard! The dogs were beautiful.

[@chandankundapura4324]

Beautiful. So serene and pleasant. Its like a show for me when ever you post a video. I am so excited to see what new adventures and animals you take photos off. Thank you.

[@cowboyyoga]

Thank you Morten - great video!

[@gregquigley3000]

Beautiful Morten , you are truly an artist of the north !

[@picapica42]

Even though I watched it already, watching again ;) The photos look great now :)

[@JonElofson]

same!

[@perandersen2015]

Epic video again. What a wunderful experience you have had. I must admit that I was glad to sit in my cosy home office looking at this freezing video. Thank you!

[@burrdaddy]

SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS! I saw the thumbnail yesterday and have been refreshing since then.

[@sebulban]

Lovely, just lovely.

[@brucecrossan2284]

Fabulous adventure, brilliant storytelling and amazing photography. Not enough superlatives to keep going.

[@hbestinternetwatch]

Please use fog prevention eye glasses. I was so much worried about you after watching this 👆, an epic video!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brianbrooking496]

Another nature classic Morton… seems harsh Arctic weather is your true calling. Truly inspiring. Do you have any tips on how to focus in this type of weather, white balance, metering etc? You make me want to take one of these Arctic boat tours on Svalbard but I am concerned about their impact to the wildlife, do you have any thoughts on that? Keep them coming and I can’t wait for the next video.

[@jamesbarnes3063]

Stark Beauty, Thank you for doing these videos to places I will never experience myself. I get to see it through your lens.

[@amsenita8017]

Stunning imagery! Great video. Love the snow and ice. Stay safe. Thank you Morten.

[@katharinemovertonphotographer]

Watched this and the last one Thank you for sharing your adventure looking forward to watching the next one

[@steenmogensen1220]

Another awesome video from the Whiter parts of the World. Thanks for bringing us along Morten, this was a great episode and I am, as always, looking forward to the next installment. It always amazes me how animals like these Reindeer, the Arctic Foxes, the Wolves, Coyotes, Bison, Elk and so on and so on, are so well adapted to the harsh climate. The mortality rate can be high when the winter is beyond normal, but for the most part, the animals are so well acclimated and really do not struggle at all. We humans are also good at adapting to varying conditions, but we typically do that by applying technology such as warm clothing, high energy foods, protective gear, survival equipment and so on, but the animals are basically the same year round and they just cope. Your videos and images are very enjoyable and they bring me back to my own travels in the same parts of the world, and under the same harsh conditions. Good memories for sure. - Steen

[@MortenHilmer]

Thanks a lot Steen. So nice to hear from you👍

[@joanhuggett5164]

Wonderful, wonderful video, so enlightening. Loved seeing how eager the dogs were to be off on their adventure. Thanks for sharing about your friends and life on Svalbard, about the reindeer, about the care you must take with your camera equipment. It was all so awesome, the blizzard images, the reindeer, everything, and no time for coffee. Poor Morten :) You are a great friend to all your subscribers and this family in Western Australia loves you.

[@seabreezeof]

My favorite wildlife photographer in the great white north.. One has to appreciate the conditions you photograph in., and your mild manner story telling.

[@Rob.1340]

Fantastic. Thank you. Stay well and safe travels. All the best. 👍👍🐾📷🐾😎

[@shanestewart4905]

I think perhaps Morten has some anti-freeze in his blood. Beautiful production.

[@nsbhagwat]

I guess the dog sled patrol duty prepares you mentally and physically to endure those harsh conditions.

[@markbringhurst608]

This was your best ever! Great work and thanks for sharing...
