Hii Cecilia Have a wonderful Day ❤
Thank you Cecilia for all of your hard work. Love the quality of videos on your channel. I definitely have the Svalbard bug. Trying to figure out what time of year I should go there.
We haven’t seen Finn for a long time. I hope he is okay ?
I rarely comment, but I always pay attention to your nails. Your taste is similar to mine. Love this weeks ‘skittle’ manicure! ❤️🥰 missing the pup also!
I heard it! 😜😂😉
What an incredible "cruise" the 2 of you chose to take . Lively to see enjoyingv your natural surroundings WITHOUT having to put in the usual required hard work LOL lovely to see Kristoffer in particular ,able to relax with you and simply enjoy both you as his company and the amazing surroundings. Thankyou for sharing the stories of history with us. It always makes history more appealling to me when theres a personal touch added. I missed whether you said you could visit these outposts in your own vessel??? I think not but please clarify ?? Such exquisite beauty, all Gods glorious masterpiece for mankind to explore and animals to live there. Many blessings from Down Under in awe of your part of the world. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏✝️
The village is an introverts dream 😊 Tranquillity, the right ambiance, fantastic outside scenery.
watching Christoffer ask and get coffee for the other older person on deck was very gentlemanly, speakng volumes of his character. So nice to see. Beautiful scenery. Very excited to see the next video.
Your love for the land is so obvious !! Cecilia if it weren’t for you most of us would never see these parts of the world and content you seem to etfortlessly capture !!!! I appreciate you 🥲🥲
I usually don’t comment, but just have to say the world you show us is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. I always look forward to theses
2 videos? How we get so lucky?!
😂😅
I had to actually think twice and question myself that it wasn’t Sunday 🤣
😊❤❤
She said we were getting two videos but I thought it was "next" week.
I'm excited about polar night videos too im saving to go to longyearbyen next year. Its not cheap but im getting older and want to go in winter before I won't be able to brave the cold 😂😂😂
Everything on your channel is just SO beautiful. Just breathtaking; it just feels so peaceful. It’s a dream to visit someday!
Hello Cicilia..i am from India and it felt so nice to see our country's own research station on that small vilage ...the plaque you showed...it was written both in Hindi language (our national language) and English...with the name of the Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal who must have initiated that research programme... thankyou so much for showing that... beautiful video as always ❤
hind isn't the national language. In fact, no single language was given the title of national language under our Constitution but it is one of the many designated official languages of our country.
Thank you for letting the rest of us know it was an Indian station. 😊
Did Christoffer asked the elder if they wanted breakfast and coffee? How sweet, kind and thoughtful.
What beautiful scenery! Loved the shot of the elk and the moon. I would have taken about a hundred photos of the ice. 😂
Thank you for taking us along! ( can’t wait to see your awesome Christmas decoration set up )
He did! 😊
(which elder??), what part of the video was that?
@@desratlinda8639 you could hear him in the background asking the person.
The water is so beautiful! The ice and the mirror of the glass like water with the shining sun 🤩 Absolutely stunning! Such an amazing place ❤ Hopefully you and Christoffer can do the cruise again on the renovated boat! And hopefully the cabins are more insulated from sound 😂 Thank you Cecilia for taking us on this adventure with you! 🥰
I love your enthusiasm and that you're taking us places most people will never see in their lifetimes. Beautiful!!!
Cecilia, I cannot thank you enough for your videos. You are a true cinematographer, allowing us to experience a whole new world.
I was disappointed to see it ended! The scenery was spectacular and your voice is so Pleasant to listen to.
Love the Christmas ornament you purchased! Thank you 😊
That was so sweet of Cristoffer to get that gentleman his coffee and food!
This is an amazing video (they usually are, lol) but what I enjoy most is seeing a beautiful piece of our world that has been respected and not ruined by man. I hope they have something like this in Heaven because at my age, I don’t ever foresee being young enough or brave enough to venture to these places. ❤❤Thank you, Cecilia, so much, for giving us a look into these wondrous places. When you express, “look at this, isn’t it amazing?”, you express what I’m feeling every time! ❤❤ I love hearing the history of this place.
Well said 💛
I’m so excited for a Wednesday video this week too!!! 😊
This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you for taking us along!
Marianna
Absolutely amazing that people can survive in cold weather in the middle of nowhere! I hate being cold but it tickles me to see you get so excited about the snow and ice! ❤😊❤
Those of us who lived in The North know that dressing for the weather is key. There's not really a reason to BE cold when it's cold outside, in fact wearing proper clothing means you're actually toasty warm. :) Which reminds me, I need to get snow pants...
I love the cold! 😁❄️👍
The beauty of the ice in the fjords and on the beach is surreal. Beautiful filming.
Hey Cecilia, it’s incredible how you can create all these contents living in a small and remote island. ❤️
I never comment, but found your channel about a year and a half ago when I started to plan my reserach campaign in Ny-Ålesund and wanted to learn more about Svalbard. I was in Ny-Ålesund for a month this summer and it's very strange seeing all the buildings again! I spent a lot of time in that gift shop (and also bought a ridiculously expensive christmas ornament 😂). Love your videos! I dont think anyone will truly understand the beauty of Svalbard until they see it for themselves
Amen. Went there last year 😊
This was so surreal totally majestic😍the water is crystal clear the beautiful mountains and glaciers. It feels like transported to some other planet.. nature at its best ❤
Awesome video!!! Such beautiful scenery and thank you for giving us historical info as well😊❤️
“I was gonna say Titanic vibes, but I mean like, pre-iceberg.” 😂😂😂 I *guffawed*. Cecilia, that was so unintentionally funny.
This was such a spectacular tour of a place most of us will never get to see. Thank you for your beautiful video gifts!
I don't know what algorithms brought you to me, but I am just loving your stories and your Instagram. This trip was fascinating. Loving learning about a whole different world. Thank you🙂
The glaciers are so mesmerizing in how they form so beautiful. The little fox was so cute. Thank you so much for sharing😊.
All your videos are beautiful but this one hit me different. It was spectacular! The calm beauty, the ice and the peace and quiet. It made me ache- wish I was there. The beauty at 9:44 I felt in my soul. Bless you for taking us along.
Thank you for posting two videos this week. I think of your videos as being my weekly vacation from the workaday world, with a bit of travel to the incredible beauty of Svalbard.
Thank you for taking us somewhere new! Always appreciate living vicariously through your adventures 🎉
Thanks Cecilia for sharing this experience with us, everything was so beautiful! ❤
There are many places on planet earth I had no idea existed. The Norwegian archipelago is one thank you for doing videos and explaining how it came into existence.
Loved watching you and Christoffer on this mini adventure. The scenery is amazing, I love all of Svalbard and enjoy any journey you take. I can't wait for your christmas vlogs I enjoy them so much x
I absolutely love seeing a part of the world that is so different from where I live. It’s breathtaking.
This is life enhancing content Cecilia. And I don't say that as hyperbole. Thank you. ❤
Agreed!
Great video once again, beautiful views and the calm waters, absolutely gorgeous . Thank you for sharing all the information, current and historical. Love the ornament, looking forward to seeing it on your tree 🌲.
Thank you, Cecilia!
I love learning and seeing all that Svalbard has. So fascinating!
My friend and I will be there in December all because of you and your wonderful videos. We are counting the days! 😊❤
Girl! I want that ornament!! It looks lovely! Another great video with gorgeous scenery and a history lesson tossed in for good measure..
It always blows me away how much history is in your piece of the world ! 👍👍👍 keep your vlogs coming ❤️❤️❤️
Great video!! The beauty and History, love both!
Also So Proud to catch the Indian Research Center captured! ❤🇮🇳
Thanks for such an informative & well narrated video Cecilia! Lots of love.❤
Oh my goodness, what a stunningly beautiful part of the world. Cecilia, you and Christofer are so lucky to be able to visit such a peaceful place.
Ny Ålesund looks so gorgeous. With almost glass like water around, and frozen ice all around it’s enchanting.
Your ship (whilst a little old …..as old as me!!!!) is charming and comfortable (even if the coffee makes you grimace!!!) haha!!! Thank you for showing us around your enchanting isle(including the curious seal pup !!!).
Incredible. The water was like glass. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I REALLY look forward to seeing what;and how you see each day! I’m in recovery from a major life event, and though I can’t hike yet- this gives me those reminders why I need to keep pushing myself, and not give up.(this is difficult)
My father was a noted Yellowstone photographer, working often with Galen Rowell…. hiked endless delicious miles. Searching for those magic hour moments and being in practice of being in the moment.
***CECILIA***: thank you.
Same! In recovery. Sometimes I can’t watch others being active without feeling frustrated. But Cecelia’s enthusiasm makes me feel ✨inspired & hopeful✨ for things to come!
I look forward to your videos every week. You have a unique gift for presenting life in Svalbard in such a charming, calm way, yet infused with infectious enthusiasm. It's like visiting with a favorite friend.
I love your channel because I get to see and learn about parts of the world I will likely never get to. Thank you, Cecilia! ❤ from Oakland, California, USA
Loved your travel-vlog style! Thank you for taking us aboard, ashore and along with you guys. Again, as you marry the music with your slo-mo scenes, it's been a wonderful, heavenly fresh breath - perfect to meditate on. Hugs. Looking forward to more.
This is fascinating footage Cecilia and Christoffer. Have you ever considered taking the luxury cruise to the North Pole?
Thank you for taking us with you on this fascinating trip. It’s always a joy to travel with you.
What a nice mid-week surprise. So peaceful. Great video as always.
I appreciate that you provide a map to us to follow along on the cruise. The cruise was so much fun! Pure unspoiled beauty! Thank you for sharing.
3 videos in 7 days, wow! You don't want to know how much I enjoy your videos, Cecilia! Ny-Ålesund looks stunning. 🤩
One of your best yet Ms Blomdahl ! Absolutely gorgeous the sea, the sky, the tiny little grey fox, the interesting history and the current use of the settlement. And so fascinating that it was the jumping off point for the Amundsen exploration to the North Pole, I had absolutely no idea that they travelled by airship, that seems quite scary, what must it have been like in wild stormy weather inside a huge inflatable tin can? Sending long distance hugs to you Christoffer and Grimm, from our side of this amazing planet to yours (Aotearoa) xx
The family house you showed us was lovely and it is something I could live in. It was compact, cosy, and had everything I would need. Including the environment. Perfect everything. Beautiful place.
I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your channel! You take me to places and share experiences that I could never do on my own. Yes, another fantastic day! Wishing you well & many more happy travels! Susan from AZ
Wow, thank you! 🧡
This was a great video of places I never knew existed. Thank you Cecilia for your great narration. I really don’t think I could reside in those places.
The quality of these videos is incredible. They are so well made in my opinion, with perfect angles, music and so on. Not to mention the amazing scenery, I think no one does it like you 🤍
Your video vlogs and info about your life are fantastic! Always a highlight of my week to see the beautiful nature and your cozy home. Thank you for sharing!
The blue in the ice is amazing. Such beautiful, peaceful places.
Thank you for giving us such an extensive history of the places you visited. What a beautiful cruise.
Absolutely calming and gorgeous!!!! What a cool voyage you both had!! ❤❤❤
I feel whisked away whenever I watch your channel ❄️🧊🛫
Both of you’re so blessed to be staying there🙏🏻it’s super awesome,relaxing,peaceful & the air’s so fresh👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻😊
Your videos are always so peaceful and really enjoy watching the mountains 🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️
Always so awesome! Thank you for sharing your life, culture, and beautiful island with us all!
Your channel is amazing, I am totally enjoying the history of these places. Thank you for all your work in presenting these videos to us.
Thank you so much for watching! 😍🧡
Yay! My mid-week just got better!! Woohoo!! 🎉 Thank you, Cecilia!! 💕
Thank you for sharing this cruise and the adventures it took you - I love learning about Svalbard and the history of the settlements. You and Christopher have done an amazing job bringing the island to life for the world. I started watching you right after the tik tok viral video (which I didn't see originally, but it brought your channel to my YT feed - been hooked ever since). Have a wonderful time and I can't wait to see the Santa/Polar Bear on the glacier ornament on your tree or somewhere in your cabin. Until the next video -
Beautiful wonderful. Love the banter between you and Christopher it’s so relatable. You have become the best virtual tour guide.
Thankyou so much xxx
Eeeeeeeee! Excited to see a mid-week video! Thanks for all you do to bring us content of your lovely island! Can't wait for the next video! 😍
Thank you! So lovely you brought us along!
I forgot there were 2 videos this week! What a treat! Thank you Cecilia, always look forward to your videos,🏔️🐳
I was so happy when I saw you posted a second video this week! And the sound of the ICE 🧊 was soo good.
❤OMG Cecelia I just love the ornament you purchased in the gift shop 🤣…. Too funny the scenery is amazing, gorgeous and amazing and yet people like you and I, and I’m sure many of your other followers, are swept away by the fun and beauty of the ornament too! I really do appreciate your zest for everything in life and thank you for never being afraid to share it❣️ I’ve only been following you for a short time now (several months) but have enjoyed every minute. I’m sure at some point I will learn your story about Tractor Supply (is it a favorite?) perhaps it’s time for me to join you as a patron! I think it’s time to take our relationship to the next level 🤣🤣🤣 see you soon ♥️Brenda
Hahah WELCOME BRENDA ❤️❤️
It’s so nice to get a midweek video from you. What a beautiful trip. I think I would be spending as much time as possible out on that deck.
I absolutely loved this video- the weather looked amazing and I loved hearing about all the history.
How fun to get an unexpected video from you during the week! What a beautiful 🤩 trip you got to take!! I’m so happy that you get to explore such beautiful places! Thank you for sharing
I APPRECIATE THAT YOU BRINGS US ON SUCH BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCES ❤
Your photography is just beautifully. Loved the history lesson. You are a breath of fresh air.
I loved this, thank you for taking us a long. You are a super tour guide and just when I think maybe the temperature is warmer than mid 30's, you flash the temp and I think she is made for this part of the world. 35 degrees is cold to us in the states, the plus no wind and lots of sun. Please do a video on the glaciers and what you two thought of the shrinking glaciers. Do you think that the media is scaring us or is it a real threat up there.
Absolutely amazing place!!! So nice to have the opportunity to learn about it!!!! Tks Cecilia!!!
Amazing. The views are just gorgeous! Once again, you leave me so envious!
So so blessed to get two videos!! ❤️ Seriously your videos are such a balm for my soul I didn't even know I needed. Love yoyr sense of humor, I truly laugh out loud at some of the things you say. 🤣 Thank you so so much for this video, loved it to pieces!!
Cecilia, thank you so much for your video. You give me a good mood. Hope you and Christoffer enjoy this trip.
What a beautiful journey! Watching definitely brought some calm and peace to my day.
Your background music on this and every video is perfect! Enjoying you guys from Tucson. Thanks.
Loved the tour - thank you !!
Wauw 🤩 the views Stunning 😍 Cecilia Thank you so much for taking us long
Was awesome Trip to see ❤❤ Take care 🥰
Hi you two. Your videos are so amazing and comforting. You always show things that I don’t see any where else. The boat you are on is beautiful. It seems so well cared for. I love the wood deck and the deck chairs! The dining areas are nicer than some restaurants. Thank you for sharing. Take care
Thank you for taking me with you on this incredible tour. Very impressing and beautiful ❤
It’s always so interesting to watch your adventures.. thanks for all your videos!
I’m so excited for this video! I wait all week for your video, so I’m excited for an extra one
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing.
So glad you posted today!! I always look forward to your videos which are really interesting.. Maybe one day I will plan a trip to visit Svalbard ❤ ❤
I never thought it would be so beautiful, and your enthusiasm makes me want to go and see upclose for myself
I had a peaceful, easy feeling watching this video and your narration was so soothing... Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thankyou for taking us along.
I really enjoy your cinematography. The steamy coffee, shots of the ice, so cozy
Literally the first cruise I would be interested in...I would love to see these remote areas- thank you for taking us on the journey
Everything looks so crisp. The ice blocks are big! Love it!❤
I just got back from Alaska and seeing the glaciers was amazing! That cruise looks so beautiful, thanks for bringing us with you.
Only recently found you and started watching. I hate the cold but I would really love to see Svalbard after watching some of your videos - it really is beautiful and you document it extremely well.
