    Wonderful video again. I think I am falling in love with reindeer. They're so beautiful and have adorable faces. The photos with the dark blue background are amazing. Also loved the dogsledes. Still one of my dreams to do that someday. Looking forward to the next video.

    I love your Svalbard videos. I was lucky enough to spend 5 weeks there a number of years ago during my PhD studies. We were on a research cruise and up to the sea ice, then up to the northern fjords, with stops back in Longyearbyen between legs. The museum there is fantastic and it was cool to see it again in your footage. I was there in summer, so unfortunately didn't get to experience it in the snow.

    Hi Morten
    Fantastic video, really artfully done, you deserve to be put on some television because your videos are not only beautiful, non-invasive with the animals, always enjoyable to watch even several times, you would be a great popularizer
    Congratulations from Italy and you are always a source of inspiration.

Thank you so much for sharing your passion and experience! I would love to know if you have written a book about your experiences with photography. I’m going to buy calendars for my husband who also loves photography too. (Nikon of course!) I was feeling out of sorts before watching this but now I’m so happy and adore those gorgeous reindeer! The children having so much fun together makes my heart lighter and happier. Much appreciated, thank you!!!!

    Absolutely amazing. I've been caught out in these kind of conditions for short times. People just don't realize all it takes to survive and travel in those conditions. 5 miles can seem like an eternity to travel. All the work it takes to just get those photos and your humbleness about the whole thing. Astounding.

    tak skal du have Morten! Your stories and adventures are so uplifting. I am amazed at the choreography and the attention to detail you bring into your projects. Would love to see how you set up some of the shots when alone. You must set up a camera, walk off into the blizzard, come back and take the setup down, so you are doing most things twice I think. Amazing work!

    The conditions that you endure for great photos never ceases to amaze me and the proof is in the pudding, but you always have your coffee close by I guess which helps... A birding friend of mine always heads out in inclement weather conditions to capture birds, especially in heavy rain and the results he gets with the droplets are always unique...Ps, you should warm up and come down to Australia for some photography.👌
