@@martindohnal55 Thank you. It may be sunny in California, but I live in the northern mountains where today it is snowing! This is why I love Tromsø, it doesn´t get as hot as California, and the winters due to the Gulf Stream are not much colder than what I experience here. I am planning to return to Tromsø some time in 2023. I shall see how things develop. Best wishes for the New Year!
Please keep making videos there’s a woman who makes videos about Salvard I personally would love to see the difference in the two towns I think it is so interesting your channel is going to blow up. If you just keep making the videos, her channel blew up and I’m sure many other viewers would love to see the difference of the two towns. I am one of her viewers, and now I’m one of yours because I want to see the difference in the two towns. Check out some of her videos. I would like to see you do a comparison video.
Cecilia Blomdal and her partner Christoffer live in Svalbard and have been making excellent yt videos, which inform intrigue and entertain thousands of subscribers across the globe.
I was just thinking about saying the same thing everyone is trying to tell him. It would be strange if they didn’t know each other wouldn’t it? She & Christopher are wonderful!
@@martindohnal55 It certainly has😉The city is much bigger now. I just took a walk on Google Street view to see if my grandparents' house is still there - it looks almost the same👍
My maternal ggf was Norwegian, Thor Degerness from the island named Degerness. He became a farmer in North Dakota, USA. My Swedish ggf came to America from Lapland at the age of 7. His father changed their name from Swanson to Erickson because there were “too many” Swansons where they settled in the U.S. I wouldn’t be able to tolerate polar nights. I can barely tolerate January in the upper South, US.
Well, polar night is nice experience, for some it's once in a lifetime experience and it's enough, on the other hand the people I spoke to here love it (most of them).
@@martindohnal55 My life is the polar opposite of your life. I live in Sarasota Florida in the United States the sun rises and sets day of the year however 11 months out of the year it is sweltering hot the 12th month drops down to 60° maybe 55 at night, and that Celsius , what I would give to be able to trade
There are no bears or other dangerous animals around Tromso. There are few bears close to the border with Sweden, but even there I would feel safe, they are very shy and avoid humans.
I imagine for someone like me, living in the northeastern US, the short twilight-only "days" would be a bit jarring at first, but nothing compared to living in Svalbard where it's pitch-black 24/7 and you have no day/night cues during December. And Tromso's climate is similar to ours (but with cooler summers). I think in Svalbard there's like 4 hours of astronomical twilight (which just means that you can't see the faintest stars when looking through a telescope that you'd be able to see in total darkness, which for most people is indistinguishable from night).
Just spent the last few days of January 2023 there. The polar night profoundly touch me I seen whales I seen the northern lights what a great place, but to me the polar night was the highlight. The lighting can't be capture on a photo or video.

It's dark in the UK all winter. When you wake up at 7am, dark and when you come home at 4pm dark. We just get rain and no snow. Rather live there than see depressing rain, at least snow makes everything look pretty! Roll on summer then I can visit the lake and go out walking!
Thank you. A very nice video...would have liked a little information along the way. What time was it? Are the lights up because it's Christmas or because it makes it more bright during the Polar nights? What was that place in the beginning that looked like you went into a tunnel in that brick/wooden shack...etc.
I took this video through the December, at different times. The lights are up because of Christmas, though there are lights in the streets everywhere, even when you go cross-country skiing on the island at midnight.
They also have a period where the sun doesn’t go down for four months I believe if that’s wrong please correct me I would love to live there or Salvard not sure if I spelled your name of that town correctly it’s so beautiful and I believe the only thing you ever have to worry about is polar bears
Polar night is getting to the end here in Tromso, but in Svalbard it is much longer and even during day much darker, as it is closer to the North pole. I 'll check that channel, thanks.

Me too. Watching these I can feel my blood pressure going down 😊
@@teacherwellnesspath It was the same for me before I moved here. 😊
England is extremely similar to America..
@@Fatasha776 In what way?
What a wonderful Life! I would rather be in Tromsø! Happy New Year in 2023 from California; I hope to be back in Tromsø in 2023.
Happy New year to sunny California and thanks for the comment.

Howd the year take ya
Love this video. It's great. Thank you for your good job. 🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
Thank you
Tromsø is a beuaty. Love the sound of the snow :)
I suppose it has its struggles living with no sun for 2 months though.

You either love it or hate it. Most people I talked to love the polar night, hard to describe it but I love it! :)

@@judyl5260 I am sure you will love Tromso.
Cecelia is the best!
Thanks for sharing. My grandparents lived at Skolegatam, and I haven't been to Tromsø since 1974. Your video brings back a lot of childhood memories.😊
I guess it has changed a lot since 1974. :)

The city of Tromso is beautifully lit at night. We are going to visit there in March! Can’t wait!
Enjoy your stay in Tromso!
I want to hear all about it!

You should definitely visit this stunning place.
Takker for videoen! Ha en fin dag!
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment.
I love to cross country ski. That looked like so much fun.
I did that after many years and loved it.

@@SaysWho1013 well, you should come for a holiday. I would recommend winter as it is the most beautiful time here. :)
You are wondering in to the trees and hills, isn't there any bear on those area? How are you making sure that these areas are safe from the animals.

Beautiful ❤️🇧🇻
Thanks for the comment, Ivana. Did you visit Tromso?
My dream to one day visit this beautiful city 🥰😍
I was your 700th sub!

Never been to Svalbard, but it is on my list. Yeah they have pitch-black 24/7, not sure I would like that.)
Thanks for.yr.nice.video
Tusen takk.. look forward to more videos giving insight into a cold harsh environment that may seem romantic and easy. Vaer trygg stay safe 🥰
Thanks.
What a beautiful town....
Indeed it is.

Agree, you need to come here and experience it.
I’ve just subscribed, the video was great. It looks so happy & cheerful!
Polar night is truly spectacular. Only downside is that you get a bit tired because of lack of sun. But it feels so cozy,
Interesting video (but music worrisome)! Shoot more movies👍
Such an amazing city !
Are you going to visit or planning to move here?
Beautiful
Thank you.
I would really love to live there, in about a week i will visit Tromsø for the 2nd for 1 week and i cant wait for that
Enjoy Tromso!
Muito bom.Adorei.
Thanks for the comment.
Are there polar bears roaming around freely?
There are no bears or polar bears around Tromso, you would need to go to the Swedish or Finnish border, there are few bears, though very shy, not like in the US or Canada. Closest polar bear live on Svalbard.
You should add and show Time on the video
Hey! I'll hopefully be able to spend a year in Tromsø in summer 2025-2026. Ill be 16 years old. Are there any tips you got?
How long do people in Tromsø leave the Christmas lights up?
From November till end of January I would say. Longer than usual as it is dark most of the time.)
It's dark in the UK all winter. When you wake up at 7am, dark and when you come home at 4pm dark. We just get rain and no snow. Rather live there than see depressing rain, at least snow makes everything look pretty! Roll on summer then I can visit the lake and go out walking!
Agree, that's why I left Manchester after 6 years there.
@@martindohnal55 I love the summer months here but not winter.

And finland and Norway have the midnight sun too. I have been to finland and stayed in Levi, it was dark at 2pm!
@@rachelhardy144 Midnight sun means sun 24 hours a day, it does not go below horizon.
Love this! I love being outside: snow and night...beautiful lights😀
Cuuute pup!
Hilsen nabo! Bor på Kvaløya, enn du?
Hi, greetings too. Live in Tromso.
@@martindohnal55 lyst på en tur til sammen?
@@vildemo6268 Maybe yeah.
What is harder - polar night or polar day?
Hmm, hard to say. Maybe midnight sun as I could not sleep very well last summer. Both have positives and negatives.
@@martindohnal55 I would have imagined day is worse as we can easily do artificial light, but are much worse with artificial darkness)
Narration would be nice.
It's actually 3 months and 7 days
do mis time marks,..thx for the rest!
Thank you.
dra hjem med en gang! Tromsø??- never again!🚫🚫🚫🚫
