PS. My swimming trunks were a gift from my sister, she bought them as a souvenir in Tansania.. so only nice comments about them please! 😆 -Juho

[@petterlamas968]

😅😅😅

[@mogliilgom5055]

Your sister obviously has a good sense of humour.

[@BTCxyz369]

😝

[@sandy-quimsrus]

Nice trunks!

[@carenclemmons5002]

@@sandy-quimsrus I think your swim trunks are very festive and playful like your personality. I vote ‘Yes’ to the shorts.

finally a channel sailing in interesting areas, not just the caribbean

[@phillippedekervor5263]

Right

[@andrifsig]

Hi there, Hope you are enjoying your stay here on my frozen little island... ;) I can absolutely attest to the wind here in Iceland and also how it follows the shoreline into the fjords and then out again. In the mornings the wind usually pushes out from the mountains to the sea but later in the day the opposite happens where the sea air starts to come inland. I do bicycle touring in the summer and I remember cycling over a mountain pass very close to Djúpivogur. It was about an 80km leg rising up to about 550meters over sea level. But the hardest work wasn't the climb, it was cycling against the wind for the last 15km trying to reach Djúpivogur. The wind was all funnelling into the fjord and everything against me. Good times. Hope you have fun here. Andri

The opening drone panoramas are strikingly beautiful, and that's just the beginning of the episode. Artika is not cheap-to maintain and operate and it is a lot or work to produce the videos, so let's prove our appreciation by chipping in to share the cost.

[@r.d.boschung8374]

Sohvi is a very charming young lady, you're a lucky man!

[@mikakari9498]

It’s nice to see more Sohvi on the screen. 🙂

[@joemcneil6602]

I love finding a youtube channel that you enjoy so much, that you binge on the already existing videos, and get super excited for new ones.

[@johnmayer3433]

Now I kknow at least why the arctic is alluring you !

[@karaDee2363]

The landscapes in the northern hemisphere never cease to amaze me. And you do a great job capturing all that. Has Sohvi ever thought about a career in modeling. She looks like a supermodel... actually better looking than most supermodels

[@campingwithhomer7371]

Being a Canadian and living more than 1000 km from any ocean, I get true pleasure watching and learning about boat travel. The one thing about being Canadian is I can really relate to wearing a tuque in the hot springs. Love your videos and hope you and Sohvi always have save journeys.

[@John-Nada]

Wow, Iceland is beautiful! It's reassuring to see trees growing there. Fantastic channel.

[@williamallen3715]

You two are wonderful. It’s a great joy that I can go on these adventures with you. Beautiful country. Thank you.

[@elizabethkennedy9626]

I am from Australia and love watching as it is like another world to me

[@mshaw290808mi]

You did A fabulous job bringing out the beauty of a part ❤ of our planet that many people would view as cold and remote. Thank you .

[@demale1]

Sohvi is my hero for going on this wild trip with a crazy sailor!

[@hatin_the_thinker]

You talented and knowledgeable. You should be taking people around on this. Alot of them will pay. And you have a very abled, beautiful and wonderful partner to support you in this. Thanks for the videos guys. Really great videos beat out there

[@shaunroberts9361]

Just Outstanding.

[@miketcq8]

It's so surreal following your adventure from Helsinki. I can't imagine what motivates you to travel further North to Iceland in Autumn. Stay safe

[@georpwl]

Very nice episode. Such interesting country and what a dynamic couple you are! It really makes for good viewing. The music selection is incredible as well.

[@derekfawell2853]

Nice swimming trunks!

[@desemgroup9]

Great images, great colors, fantastic.

[@carenclemmons5002]

You definitely have the cinematic eye for the natural beauty surrounding y’all. Little prolonged snippets of flora and fauna really add so much warmth and texture to the story of yalls journey, specially so, as you traverse the icy environments you travel. I really do have a fondness developing for you two sweeties; your fascination for and the love you feel for your winters is infectious. Thanks for being very good documentarians with gentle humors.

[@josephpettigrew2415]

Thank You Both for a Show we would have not gotten to see, my wife who died 5 years ago at 85 years have sailed in Sweden, Long Island sound New York it is where my mom and dad and myself as a boy lived on a boat at city Island I live in Fl now and we did race sail Boats here on the Gulf of Mexico for 30 good year's now being 91 live with my good Dog Blu. Cheers Stay Virt be saf,e Joseph Venice Fl.

[@hatin_the_thinker]

Also like that you maintain talking your native language even though you speak great English. Don't let it vanish your mother tongue or culture like so many people and countries have done. I'm learning from you.

[@rockshelter]

I really enjoyed watching this episode. The filming end editing keeps improving. From long calm sequences to action. Perfect! Keep up the good work! A little worrying to see how the small boats are strapped firmly to the ground in the ending here.... looking forward to the next chapter!

[@johnwest7993]

The scenery is beautiful, and the guitar music is perfect. We in the mountains of Colorado get the same sort of intense winds coming down through our canyons when the atmospheric pressure differentials between the mountains and the plains get large. Six months ago we had winds of 45 meters per second, (100 mph) and a wildfire burned down nearly 1000 houses in a single afternoon. One day later, that pressure differential brought in snow that would have kept the fire from ever happening.

[@tomriley5790]

There are some amazing hot pools all over Iceland. Nearly every village or town will have one and there are many other small ones dotted across the landscape. I was lucky enough to come accross a few by chance - wierd being in a warm pool surrounded by nothing but wilderness and snow capped mountains!

[@carenclemmons5002]

Good spiritual therapy.

[@annakavan1869]

I was cold watching this beautiful episode. Best wishes.

[@dcallan812]

I was going to say your swim short were very loud, I approve. 👍👍

[@jginmt]

I am not sure how to spell her name, but Solvi was very polite to you about walking to the beach to go swimming. You guys must have been frozen.

[@brookemartin6101]

Oh Sohvi, I understand what it's like to have a meal that's Not appetizing.

[@LaurensvanRooijen]

Your facial expressions 4mins in when you announce that you're going to a natural hotspring: priceless! And proof of you two being real Northerners aka Skandinavians. No matter how windy and cold the weather may be: Give us a hotspring (or sauna) and all is perfectly well. Loving that attitude.

[@johnfrancis9668]

Good to see your lady is with you.

[@ivo-aceto]

As is often the case with your videos, I enjoyed it enormously. Both of you seem to be perfectly suitable for the arctic freeze.

[@CalciteSerendipity]

Now I see why all those boats chained to the ground do not have a winter cover.

[@frankmerkle2500]

That winter cover would be ripped right off....

[@Coastaljaeger]

Just watched Delos reveling in mexican terrain as apposed to your viking excursion vibe. I'd say you come out on top of true nature philanthropist.

[@curtishill6490]

Hello from Cape Cod😁 that sure looks like a pyramid and not a mountain in the beginning of your video 💯I really enjoy your videos with the sailing and spots you find! Your boat seems suited for the travels you choose! My grandparents were from Finland but I've never been there😔maybe one day I will see where my family is from👍Stay safe and thank you for sharing your journey with us👍😁💯🙏

[@johnwishart7950]

another fantastic video i don't know how you put in so much goodnesses in such a short time

[@IrenESorius]

A true swimming trunk hottie,, 😅👍‍‍

[@matthewbaynham6286]

Your videos are really cool (in more ways than one). And I see you're almost at 50k subscribers which a nice mile stone. Keep it up, you're doing well.

[@SteinVarjord]

I’ve followed the channel from when he had about 2000 followers. Already then it was obvious that it should grow a lot. Juho thought I was too optimistic, but look at it now! :-) Anyway, if we share his videos with people we think might like them, that will help them a lot.

[@braithmiller]

Wiser friend to not get in the ocean. Uma was disappointed in an oceanview tub having been diverted. Good you found one still left alone.

[@patience8884]

That blizzard looks fridgid!!!

[@fraserconnell21]

I see what you mean... sisters can be greatest critics and best friends ever too.

[@normanboyes4983]

You are truly a brave chap, the water may have been ffff freezing - but the shorts.😉👍⛵️

[@fredwilliams8305]

I have missed you posting the last several weeks. Much warmer here in St. Augustine, FL. Fred Williams

[@leo169]

Sitting in a hot pool with a thick woollen hat on your head. ❄ The dip in the fjord must have been very invigorating!

[@deuteronimus750]

Harald Baldr would approve.

[@jimmytjomsland6132]

Glad to see everyone having something to eat!! An appetite helps the world look much better!!

[@davehayes8812]

Your swimming trunks from Tansania are just beautiful :)

[@longship789]

Epic desolate mountains with villages huddled underneath. Thanks for bringing your adventures to us

[@darrenjones3681]

Very curious pyramid shaped mountains

[@BTCxyz369]

I think you light one up at the lighthouse 🤩 The next one looks cold

[@douglascampbell9809]

I would love to try those soup/pasta cups. If you get ramen soup cups I suggest getting a little bottle of toasted sesame oil some dehydrated cabbage and leek to add to them. A couple drops of sesame oil and a pinch or two of the cabbage and leeks makes them 100% better.

[@lzcrazyzl6443]

What a beautiful place.

[@chikken_soup]

I got cold just watching this

[@michaelstroud2279]

Ha ha ha No jumping in the ocean for me And as usual beautiful photography 👍❤️

[@rogerkircher]

That was a long walk to the beach. :)

[@studiobivouac]

Nice trunks indeed ;-)

[@AKBoaterChad]

“Pretty shitty idea!” I totally agree.

[@jimmcdonald9244]

I think I prefer our weather here in Australia, 25-30 degrees in summer, 15-20 in winter. The downside is you have to travel a long way south to the snow!

[@hikkks]

what a nice flower power swimsuit :D

[@matiasmatis1886]

SALUDOS DESDE SAN LUIS ARGENTINA !!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@GeoffreyMH]

Respect! Amazing adventures. Snuggled down by the woodburner onboard in Devon UK I am grateful that I am not experiencing the weather you two are facing in the coming months. Stay safe.

[@robinhodgkinson]

Iceland in winter… Has a certain ring to it. Ice ring that is! ; )

[@pauledwards5573]

Crazy Fins!

[@susanlane6663]

Greetings from Sidney, BC, Canada (on Vancouver Island) Glad I came across your channel, will be following you with great interest !

[@donrumph1]

Beautiful landscape, but way too cold for me. I do enjoy following your adventures.

[@johnward9728]

well done it is not often we get to see Iceland from a small sailing vessel in the winter or at any other time of the year when you think about it

[@richardswire1384]

Sophies smile is your permanent sunrise. Another great video. What will I do for the next week?

[@mallory0322]

Stunning place for a soothing hot spring!!! Lovely week to you and Sohvi🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄 P.s. Absolutely beautiful piano piece!!☺️🎶

[@frankjames7247]

Just found your videos so refreshing..

[@factanonverba6169]

A hauntingly beautiful place, a bit draughty though.

[@andrewevans7184]

It amazes me that the landscape can be so stark and beautiful at the same time. You have chosen a truly wonderful path through life so far, it's fantastic to watch.

[@davidc6510]

Amazing drone footage of Iceland - so beautiful. Thanks for sharing another great episode of Alluring Arctic!

When you were walking from the hot spring pool to the beach on the ice bare foot my feet were stinging and my toes curling up 🥶

[@finnsailing69]

Nyt on maisemat kohillaan :)
