    If Cecilia made an hour long (or more!) video with all of her aurora footage backed with the calming music, I would watch it every day or even have it on while going to sleep - it’s calming, mesmerizing and so very beautiful!

    So I'm originally from the Caribbean and now live in sunny Florida after spending years living up north in Pennsylvania and New York (which for us is cold). I have always been a total wuss when it comes to cold and snow. Everyone who knows me knows that once it drops below 60° F, I turn on the heat in my home, lol. I would however, in a heartbeat, put on my big girl panties and full winter gear just to be able to see the aurora borealis and the night sky lit up like a Celestial Garden with my own two eyes. How amazing that must be to witness! It's something I definitely desire to experience before I pass on from this body.

We have six months of winter, Lots of snow, terrible winds, and very cold, it gets to minus 40 degrees F. in February. We live in a very rural area on eight acres of land with wonderful wild animals running around. Have lived in Wisconsin all my life and I like you love the winter. ❤❤

    That footage of the Aurora was stunning. I rewatched a few times. Where I live, I never actually see stars twinkle like that! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤😯✨

    I just stumbled across your short video about why you love living where you do, and my heart leapt. I TOTALLY get it - I’ve always loved autumn and winter, when everyone around me loves long summer days. I’m always greeted with almost horror when I say how much I love dark nights and winter. I live in London so we don’t get anything like the darkness you have there over winter. I do get to Sweden and Iceland from time to time and just love it in winter. Honestly my heart just lifts when the nights start to draw in and I can start to get cosy at home. You’re my new favourite channel and I shall be catching up on all your videos. ❤

      The Aurora part is a highly processed clip. You won't see the same thing with your own eyes.

    Just found your channel and I just have to say you have a new fan in Australia! Those Aurora scenes are National Geographic worthy. I now have a 12 week winter stay in Svalbard on my bucket list. An absolute job well done, bravo!

    And those lights are all in one night? I have never seen actual footage of the lights like that. Amazing. No wonder you get so excited! That’s how I feel when the fireflies first show in June in SE Tennessee. Natures miracle light shows. Never gets old.

    I live in the opposite environment- tropical all year round pretty much. 70 degrees is sweatshirt weather here.
    That being said, seeing the auroras in person is one of the top things I’d like to do one day. Sharing the first aurora of the season brought tears to my eyes. I will see with my own eyes one day! I love how excited you got. Pretty great first solar storm for the season too!
    Polar night seems pretty special.
    Your dog is funny! And obviously completely adorable! I have a husky and the personalities seem a bit similar. Definitely similar vibes when you mentioned he absolutely knew what you were asking him to do but chose not too…. I love it. People often ask why would I have a husky where I live? Well, she is a rescue and found us…if they only knew her air conditioned pampered life and the fact that she sunbathes daily. The magic of a double coated breed. Does Grim sunbathe during your warmer months?
    I’m new here- and appreciate you sharing your way of life with us.
    I think I might like to experience the polar night myself one day….
    Stay warm. ❄️🪵

      I have seen the Aurora in real life a few times, once when I visited Yellowknife and a couple of times here in Nova Scotia. It really is so amazing to see, but especially in Yellowknife. That was my first time seeing it and I almost cried, it was a very moving experience. I would love to go back one day to get some amazing photos now that my photography has improved since then. Lol.

    As a dog groomer, thank you so much for maintaining Grims coat properly. In such an extreme environment he needs his coat in good shape. If there's too much excess undercoat there's not as much insulating value. Most insulation works by trapping a layer of warmed air. If the coat is too dense there's no air space.
    Also, when a dog or cat has built up, unshed undercoat it can matt terribly. Dealing with heavy matting is no fun for your dog or their groomer.
    Lovely boi. 💚

    Aw Cecelia!! Now you can enjoy all your extra space and your new movie area. You’ve made so many changes to make this Polar Night extra special!
    Is Christopher always so calm? He seems like a really great guy!
    Edit: my top two bucket list items are going somewhere to see a billion stars and the Northern Lights. It will never happen at this point in my life, and I have dreamed about it for over 30 years now. but seeing them in your videos makes me cry with amazement.
