Many years ago I worked on the offshore rigs outside Campos, Brasil. One January day I brought some Brasilien friends into the fish freezer. It held -25C. I said, this is what it's like in Sweden today. They stood silent and after a while one of the guys asked me -Why do you stay? ha haha. Well now you know.
A friend of mine had a brazilian guy visit him here in Sweden. My friend had their baby sleeping out on the balcony in her stroller. The brazilian guy: Come! Come! I want to show you something. Friend walks over to the fridge Brazilian guy opens freezer. Brazilian guy: This is warmer then where you have your baby sleeping!!??!!!
I'm 50 years old and live alone in the middle of Sweden, in the forest like in the video, and it is actually called the North, and I love all seasons and can't actually say that I like one better. I love the cold and dark winters but I'm also grateful when it is over and the spring comes with all the wonders, and the bright summer feels short and wonderful but I love the autumn with the cooler weather and all the colors and berries, and I'm like a kid when the snow comes again. I would not trade our seasons for anything. Every season I eagerly look forward to the next one, the cycle of life.
If it wasn't for the cold, dark winters, we wouldn't appreciate the summers as we do here in the north. I feel as in the winter my soul is hibernating and I'm almost on autopilot in my daily life, only to slowly wake up when the daylight starts to return in the spring and I can feel myself come to life again. ❤
You sir, live what I consider to be the perfect life. Of course it's not that easy in the winter, but the summers are certainly a fair reward for the hard work in the winter. I envy you very much.
As far as I know the best thing in ice bathing is a boost of immunity. those who do it regularly in Poland, usualy in Baltic Sea during cold months, are known for getting great immunity against infections.
Well, it is impossible to get "get pneumonia" just through the weather and the temperature alone. If you are already infected or/and having an infection is a totally different situation. Please, stop to spread all this bull-shit that is not true at all. If you believe in something, then it is up to you to keep it to yourself. I am not interested at all, unless it has some sort of scientific background. @@zainulabdin1720
There is a thing called "home blindness" you're so used to your surroundings and the shift of seasons and even the light of the day, that every day just passes by. I love my home country (Sweden) for all the reasons Jonna talks about in this video, but i also dream of other places. I would love to go to Brazil for instance, to visit your rainforest, your amazing landscape and people. I think what we all need is to just stop for a second, look around, see what we have, and be amazed by nature and people around us. Go outside, glance at the night sky, look at the flowers and beautiful creatures that surrounds you. Our Earth is amazing, she is beautiful everywhere, we just need to embrace here and let her show us what she is all about. Thank you for sharing guys, i wish you the best!
For sure. I was blind to the nature we have in Sweden when I aimed to live in the US. I stayed for 5 years - then I missed it too much. I stayed in a subtropical region (Louisiana) and living in that heat and humidity and lack of nature (the way I know it) was difficult for me. It had been fine for shorter periods prior to my move. Lesson learned, the grass is not greener on the other side. I learned to finally appreciate the nature of Sweden and the 4 seasons after those 5 years though. It's like constant change, magic! There's hope in change, somehow.
What she doesn't show you is that we also hunt, moose and deer. If you land a moose, that's enough for a whole winter and we land more than one so we share it. I go around the old peoples houses and ask what they need, they are too old to drive so. I know they could get someone to do it via the government but I've known them all my life and some of them do not like strangers so. It's on the way anyway. Or maybe not but a society that doesn't take care if its elders is a society I don't want to be a part of.
Sweden is one of the most amazing countries in the world when it comes to nature and its experiences. Here you have the silence if you so wish and you live one with nature!
Amazing to watch your reactions 🇸🇪 It's a beautifull video. We sometimes complains about our weather but I cannot live without our seasons. We flow with them.
Further south in Sweden it isn't this extreme. In Gothenburg where I live, for instance, we still get a few hours of darkness/light even at the height of summer/winter. When you live like this all your life you take things for granted, so in the middle of summer I'm mostly annoyed the birds start singing at 2 am in June. 😂 But I think a lot Swedes have a close relationship to nature since we have a law (Freedom to roam) that allows us to hike and camp everywhere, as long as it's not farmland, private housing/gardens or fenced structures. We can also pick berries, fruit and mushrooms in the wild. As long as we don't destroy nature or litter of course. I think Brasil looks like a magical place with your beautiful nature, food, culture and people. It seems so vibrant and colorful and alive. I also like how Portuguese sounds, the rhythm and tones are very interesting to me. I would love to visit someday. That's how we are as humans. What's ordinary to you seems magical to me and vice versa. 🙂
Yeah and where I live in Scania, I checked it this year, in dec 22, or winter solstice, The night is 0000 to 0612, the dawn is from 0612 to 0835 and the day is from 0835 to 1530 and then dusk is from 1530 to 1753 and then the evening is from 1753 to 0000... So in total 0612 to 1753 is daytime, so 11 hours 41 minutes of day. and only 6 hours 55 minutes of daylight. It does sting to work inside from 7 to 16 each day in the winter, not being able to even glimpse the sun. I won't see the sun from Nov 17 2023 to Jan 15 2024 and on Jan 15 it's just for a minute if I'm fast enough out the office doors. And then I just think about the guys in Kiruna who'll have May 27 to Jul 16 of pure sun...
One thing to point out about allemansrätten (every man right or the law about the freedoom to roam) is that you do not destroy anything and leave the place as it was (don't leave your mark, take your thrash with you and make sure if you had a bokefire that is put out)
@@februariao7202 No, Scania is the latin name, and also the international name, for the southernmost part of Sweden, the more or less quadratic peninsula in the south. @liveandletdie forgot to mention that even when the sun is technically above the horizon we very often have heavy overcast skies in vinter so you may want to turn the lights on anyway. In 2020, we had a grand total of 9 hours(sic) sunshine in December in Lund, Scania. It can be rather depressing, but we get it back in the summer.
Like your reactions, you look totally shocked :) You say you don't know what it is living without the sun for longer periods, I can say it often leads to depression during the winters.. but it's all in your mindset, people who like the winter is much less likely to get depression.. personally I hate winters :) and the temperature can range from +35C in the summer to -35C in the winter (though the last couple of decades we most often get like +5 in the winter and no snow... global warming etc.. And as magical you think this nature is - we swedes think the amazon and nature of Brazil is just as magical and beautiful :) Greeting from Sweden!
Comming from the south of Sweden so I never have had the 24h days or never setting sun -but the seasons are great and I end up on the colder side of the scale. I envy people experience it for their first time because it's so common for me... but man, I always love autumn and to see the trees turn brown and then the morning frost and the first snowfall. I think something is wrong with me because my favorite weather is when it storms and there is rain and lightning... perhaps Tor have a special place reserved for me in Midgård... Anyhow.. What I wanted to say is that ice baths are a real pain -but if you ever come here and go to a bath house / spa they always have them.. and to go into them really wakes you up (survival mode I guess) and then you go back to a hot bath or a sauna and you feel every part of your body waking up. I'll google translate into portuguese in case you don't understand and are listening to dubbed or have subtitles in your videos. --------- Vindo do sul da Suécia, nunca tive dias de 24h nem nunca poente - mas as estações são óptimas e acabo no lado mais frio da escala. Invejo as pessoas que experimentam isso pela primeira vez porque é tão comum para mim... mas cara, eu sempre adorei o outono e ver as árvores ficarem marrons e depois a geada matinal e a primeira nevasca. Acho que algo está errado comigo porque meu clima favorito é quando há tempestades e há chuva e relâmpagos... talvez Tor tenha um lugar especial reservado para mim em Midgård... De qualquer forma.. O que eu queria dizer é que banhos de gelo são uma verdadeira dor - mas se você vier aqui e for a uma casa de banhos / spa eles sempre os têm.. e entrar neles realmente te acorda (modo de sobrevivência eu acho) e então você volta para um banho quente ou sauna e sente cada parte do seu corpo acordando.
@@ronng21 Som en annan söderlänning i Sverige så har jag alltid saknat de riktiga vintrarna uppe i norr. Hade det inte varit för familjen hade jag flyttat långt upp norr för länge sen. Båda föräldrarna är från norr så man har det i blodet. Här nere har vi bara slask och blask.
I think every Danish town has a group of "winter bathers", and some have a house with changing rooms, showers and sauna. Peace and love to you nice people 🥰🥰
Its interesting how we up here in the north talks about tropical places being like paradise, and you said the same about our little place on earth. First time visiting your channel. Are you Brazilians? I thought it sounded like portugese.
You can even experience a "lite" version of the midnight sun as far south as Oslo, called "white nights" where the sun sets at 11PM in summer(around 20th of June) and rises again around 4AM, it never gets completely dark and you can barely see the stars, it happens in most places that are just south of the Artic circle.
It is pretty much the same in the northern parts of Finland, the country where I live. Actually, the same contrasts in the light conditions between winter and summer, and the the Northern Lights, occur all over the Earth above the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Only in reversed order, however. When there is summer in the southern hemisphere, it is winter in the northern hemisphere.
Mmm.. Jonna is doing a great job in capturing the life up north in the nordic countries. Pretty sure it's the same in Sweden, Finland är Norway. Well. More mountains in Norway :P
@@kristofferhellstrom yeah, she does remarkable job, indeed. You're right, the landscapes of the northern parts of Sweden Jonna is showing on her videos are very similar to those of northern parts of Finlad. I guess we dont even have real mountains here in Finland at all, but we have smth called "tunturi" in Finnish. I guess the Swedish equivalent is "ett fjäll". We have few quite tall of those, but I guess they are still called "fjäll" instead of a mountain.
@@blissfull_ignorance8454 Yeah :) You're right in everything you're writing. We got fjäll here. I love Finland! Been doing some genealogy research. Got relatives in Finland and Norway.
@@kristofferhellstrom well, its not that surprising, for people in Scandinavia have been intermingled with each other for centuries, if not even for millennia. I know for sure, that I have relatives in Sweden. Never had any genealogy tests, but I also know that my bloodlines go in Karelia, area that is part of Russia, nowadays but historically concidered as one of the constituent part of that area, where Finnic people have traditionally lived.
It was really fun to see your reaction to Jonnas video. I grew up in the far north of Norway, far into the Arctic Circle. Norway extends even further north than Sweden. We had at least two months without seeing the sun in winter, and two months with midnight sun in summer. Nothing is as magical as the bright summer nights - and, on the opposite time of the year, the dark winter evenings when the northern lights flood the skies. Today I live in the farthest south of Norway, at 58 degrees north. It is three degrees further north than the southernmost tip of Chile is south. Most of Scandinavia is very lush, and the short summer provides good growing opportunities for fruit and vegetables here in the south, but also further north, where Jonna lives in Sweden. But in the far north, where I grew up, there is little fruit and vegetables growing. It must be imported to cover the need, but nature is rich in berries, and the sea is full of fish and marine animals. It is also possible to hunt birds, hares and moose. Large parts of Scandinavia lie within the Arctic Circle here in the north. In the south, only Antarctica lies within the circle.
Life is what you make of it and nature is always beautiful. Our nature is free for all to visit and our landscape is so very diverce. We have ancient forests, thousand lakes, long dark winter, short but blooming summers, high mountains, alps and ravines and roaring streams and amazing hiking lanes, and some of the most beautiful views you can find. And winter makes it look like magic
I grew up not far from where the video is filmed and even I gets impressed and amazed 😄 It is not that what she is saying and showing is fake or wrong, on the opposite. I am impressed that she has been able to capture the beauty of it in such a way despite the discomfort of it.
ice bath s normal in norway and sweden. or atleast where i lived ive always keept my tradition of witherbaths :P funny reactions for me that lives here. nice work guys and here is an Like! =D
only noth of sweden/norway/finnland is like that :) since its so nothern you come without goin to the Npoole, anyway i may belive norther parts of russia and even canada if im nøt wråong ;) but yeah sometimes in the fall or spring, you can experience under 24h is sun/rain/snow/wind/sun/1 hour something we may call dark up there but more south you comes more darker it gets but in normal ways
This really showes the contrast in a long country. I live in the middle of Sweden. And sure its really dark during winter and aometimes you can see the Northen Lights. And just a bit over Stockholm their is no midnight sun. It really is the magic with the North. Never been in nother sweden, obnly the middle and the South during summer. But a goal is to go up in the North and see the area and beauty 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Fun fact, during november 2019 the middle part of sweden had 2 HOURS of sun, because of it always was cloudy the few owers between the dark
I suppose we all think that other places are more exotic and wonderful than our own little spot on the globe and all countries have their charm in one way or another. Yes, Sweden/Scandinavia (Finland included, they are our brothers and sisters) are beautiful but of course there also is things not so nice as everywhere on earth. Jonna´s profession is as a photographer/film maker/artist and therefore an eye for catching the beauty in her surroundings. For the other of us, living our life with more boring jobs, working 7-17 in offices, in hospitals, stores and so on, it is harder to see and appreciate the northern lights and starry skies (hard to do if you live in a city with the light pollution). Work, household chores, taking care of children...dark when you leave for work and also leaving work to go home in the winter. But if we take a step back and relax and really look we may also see what Jonna see and then it is really beautiful! But, we also have grey and muddy weather, mosquitoes in the summer, snowstorms in the winter, icy roads and other disturbing things...as the rest of the world. Luckily no poisonous snakes, gators and creepy insects... 😉
Ice bathing is very popular downtime here in Finland. I don't like to do it, but lots of my friends are just loving it. They are carzy like that. I like roll in the snow after sauna :D
the lack of sunlight actually fks with your mood quite a bit.. i live i the middle of sweden, so we dont have polar nights, but very short days.. and you usally work when the sun is up... but as soon as spring comes, every swede transform in to this weird sun hippie.. mood goes up.. i might actually say hi to a neighbour (unlikly.. but it has happened).... but when the fkin sun actually starts to send some heat.. thats when it happens... sun in winter usually means extreme cold..
Remember that herbs, berries and flowers which are able to survive in harsh weather like the ones from north of Scandinavian countries or the ones from tundra of Siberia - are known for great amounts of nutrients and vitamines, becouse as the plants need to protect themselves to survive cold and wind they can produce all this healthy goodness inside for us to harvest :)
It was amazing to see these two see my country för the first time. I suppose we take it all for granted.. But sweden is truley beautiful. I hope that the two of them gets the opportunity to come see it for real ❤❤❤. Their reactions made me cry
I live almost 18yrs in the middle of Alaska. Watching this creates a bit of longing in me. When Winter arrived I could feel the difference in my body. It is as if the earth itself takes a long slow breath and falls into a calm napping sleep. In summer there is much to do to prepare for winter and 24hrs to do it in. So summer is Fast and productive. Winter is slow and soft and everything is becomes relaxed. Yes it is also mighty cold in winter. But standing for minutes or hours watching the Northern Lights dance above you is Glorious. Visited my son a few years ago, he still lives in Alaska. We got to his house from the airport and my son looked up and announced: The lights have come to greet you, mom. I sat on his front step while he unloaded the car and went inside. Leaving me for however long I needed to admire the sky.
Ice bathing is common and a very healthy habit if you are healthy( no heart conditions and the like) it however feels like a million needles and your heart rate goes crazy fast it chocks your whole body. But it boosts your circulation and immune system. Think of it as chock-therapy for your body that kickstarts your internal systems. Often you heat yourself up before in a sauna then head back to get varm again after the water under the ice is around 2-3˚C as freezing point is zero.
Funny enough, i live not far from Jonna, even met her awhile ago, but yes, its very much like that around here, summers is sun 24/7, winters ... "hello darkness my old friend" keep the channel going =)
A great reaction to a fantastic video by a fantastic woman. I have been following Jonna for several years now and she has helped me a lot to prepare for my new life in the north-west of Finland. For me as a German, life here in the middle of nowhere is the hardest but also the most beautiful thing I have experienced in my life. Even though Finland is described as extremely expensive, I would never have been able to afford a house like mine surrounded by forest and a lake in Germany. Greetings from a happy girl from Finland
You need any more advice, I live in Sweden above the arctic circle. It's not hard to live here if you have people who know what they are doing. Just prepare because it doesn't matter if you think you can always get out when you're snowed in, sometimes you can't. Get a separate freezer and if your outside of the city, get yourself an old PBV 304 or something like that. I got mine for free and i could probably advice you where to get yours. Finland isn't expensive compared to Germany... who told you that?
I live in the north of Iceland, at 66°N to be precise, and we have a similar situation: It is now December 1st 2023 and we have only a few hours of proper daylight. Conversely, our longest day begins in early May and lasts through July - for 3 months - it never gets dark the entire time (perhaps some dusk if it is cloudy). Being born and raised here means this is MY normal. I have traveled extensively and there are many places that have far nicer climates, but it becomes a bit boring after a while. Home will always be sweet home, what I am used to. To live in a place the never gets too hot (+25°C max) or too cold (-5°C happens, -10°C or colder is rare, ours is a maritime climate, no excessive temperatures). Everything is CLEAN - the water from any brook or creek is the type of stuff people put in bottles in other countries and our cold tap water is delicious (the hot water in some areas is foul smelling, being geothermal, but not at all harmful). There is almost certainly a little cheat with the ice bath scene: No one does this unless they have spent a good time in a Sauna or a hot tub, and is hot to the marrow of his/her bones. A dip in icy water or a dive into a snowdrift is REFRESHING - followed by a return to the Sauna or hot tub to get warm again.
For a few years ago I was chocked when I learned that not all countrys had sunlight during nigttime in the summers :) and yes its a common thing to take ice baths during winters. It boost your immune system and afterwards you can stand the cold weather much better and you gain energy from it. Me and my boyfriend do it all winters and we love it! After a while you get used to the ice baths. (Im swedish).
Beautiful Sweden, feel blessed to have been born here🥰 .Even if the dark season makes you extra tired and low on energy, it is exactly as she says in the video that if you adapt to the seasons, they are wonderful and beautiful in their own way. and you realize how lucky you are to have such nature and environment around you ❤❤❤❤❤
Good point. Its all about adaption . The seasons are coming and going and you have just follow the flow. There is nothing wrong with a dark and cold winter . You always know its going to end
@@Funkywallot exactly 😁 it's just a matter of finding the little wonderful things in each season and enjoying them in the way that suits you until they're over ☺️
i live in far northen sweden in kiruna and when we have polar nights it gets so dark u can only see 5m in front of u whitout any lights and all the stars are a light on the skies and u can see them so clearly and in the winter in jukkasjärvi (a small town not far outside of kiruna where space station esrange is) they build an entire hotell out of ice and you can sleep on a ice bed and drink from ice cups
I don't live quite as far up north, but we still only get around 3 hours of sunlight during the darkest times in winter here and during summer the nights never really become dark. The sun sets, but is never far enough away from the horizon that you get the black nights of winter. So the nights during summer are extremely pleasant here, they are warm but not hot, there's still some light so you're not reliant on lamps. If anything, my only problem with living here is that the winters are cold, which limits my outdoor activities since my preferred outdoor activities require me to use my hands and have more control than I can achieve wearing gloves.
@@maddragon3076 Jag är förmodligen typen som skulle försvinna spårlöst under isen 😬😂… Jag gillar pooler. Man ser start, slut och botten och kan lätt identifiera eventuella objekt.
As someone who lives quite a bit further north than Jonna (up by the arctic circle), I'll say that you're spot on at 14:20. Having quite extreme and very well defined seasons makes you really appreciate the seasons and all of nature.
don't forget that you have beautiful and amazing things in your home country that you might not have thought of. one of them is Mount Roraima with its own ecosystem at the top. I am Swedish myself and I have only seen a fraction of nature and cultural history in Sweden.
Im from sweden too, and yes this is true but she is definetly not considered the norm of a swede. Swedes dont walj around barefoot om cliffs mid winter😂
The northern lights can be seen not only in Sweden but also in Norway, Finland and I guess also Iceland. And they are also in north of Canada and in Alaska. But as far as I know the most southern place where you are able to see them, which is very, very rare event ( I guess only during solar storms ) is actualy UK. Sadly I live in south part of Poland so too long distance from Sweden to be able to see them (but Poland and Sweden are both bordering through Baltic Sea) but I love the northern lights - seems I never get enough of seeing them. :)
You both are soooo adorable!!!!! I live in California (where it’s hot all the time) and have traveled quite often but now that I’m older I want to go somewhere to see the Northern Lights! I don’t care about going anywhere else but somewhere beautiful where I can see those beautiful Northern Lights! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
She does not live in the north of Sweden, she lives in the middle of Sweden just outside of Örnsköldsvik... I grew up in a tiny village outside of Kiruna in the real north. To give some perspective, if that girl drives her car north for about 9 hours straight, then she would reach Kiruna.
@@zainulabdin1720 The climate, the flora and the fauna. Were i come from (Kiruna), right now they get around 3 hours of sun light per day. In December the polar night begins, which means that the sun doesnt peak over the horizon for about 28 days. During the summer the sun instead doesnt go down for about 50 days, so we basically have daylight 24/7 for 50 days. Both of this things only occurs above the arctic circle. The girl in the video lives about a 9 hour car drive south of Kiruna in what is known as middle Sweden.
Great stuff coming then! Have followed you since you hosted Climbing Daily. You have really stepped up your game. I hope that i can hire you as a guide in the future. I have some climbing in proximity to Chamonix on my bucket list. Also some PG. Cheers from Norway😊
As mentioned in the video, you don't see the Northern lights (aurora borealis) very often unless you travel up North. If you come for a visit as a tourist, do not expect to see Northern lights unless you're super lucky.
I grew up not far from where Jonna lives (but on the coast), and I see these clips of the midnight sun and winter nights and think "...and it's SO ANNOYING." It's fascinating to see how people not from the boreal zone are shocked by this, but for me, it was my first 19 years of life (then moved south where it's a bit less extreme), and two years when I moved to the middle of Finland (same latitude). I can't sleep during summer. I can't stay awake during winter. Working days in November-January are basically "you leave home in darkness, you return in darkness". We get something called "winter depression" for a reason. And vitamin D deficiency.
I'm from Norway🇧🇻, nabouring Sweden🇸🇪 and Finland🇫🇮 - we share the nature, and are parts of Scandinavia (including Denmark🇩🇰- witch is much flatter and smaller, and Iceland🇮🇸 - wich are a volcanic island in the North-Atlantic), but we got more mountains and fjords. Please react to Norway and Scandinavia - if possible🙏🏻🍀❤️
Our lowest temperatures in sweden, one year that i can remember we had -45degrees celcius. historical im not sure maybe someone knows better than i am. I remember just that particular moment due to the fact many snowplow vehicles had to keep their engines running because if they shut them down they wont start again.
I can say that we are spoiled with beuty up here (i live just 2-3 hour drive from her). for one I saw northern lights just two days ago, and we have competition for swiming 50m in a huge hole cut out in the ice, quite popular, also school has exercise how to get out of hole i the ice if you accidentally go through a weak part. that includes students jumping in a hole like tgat and getting themselves out.
And the good thing if you come here as a tourist, you can see all of this nature pretty much all unhindered, we have something called "Allemansrätten". That means that you can go Anywhere on foot exept for the private property around a house, roughly 50 meters. Also, her way of life is for a few "couple thousand" swedes not the majority to be honest. Greetings from sweden :)
It is very much real, the axis on which the Earth spins is tilted; that is in fact what produces seasons on Earth. During the summer the north pole is tilted toward the sun and receives the sun's light all the time. While in the winter, the north pole is tilted away from the sun and is in darkness. Now when you look at the seasons in the southern hemisphere... when the north pole gets all the light, the south pole will be in darkness. So when it's summer north, it's winter south of the equator and vice-versa. When there's winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer down-under.
Keep in mind, many people from places with a lot of sunlight all year around become very depressed here in Sweden during the winter. They're very dark and there's not much color.
Yes, it is absolutely incredible up here :) If you one day book a flight, let me know. We might have some beds - but no ice bathing for you ;) You should be used to it, otherwise it cause real troubles, if you don't breathe well or panic. I also don't do it, i prefer the hot tub
3rd world?! What country are you from? So you don't know English enough to speak but understand the video? I always choke up a bit when watching that video, thinking about the lack of sun and then finally getting it. Something most Swedes can relate to. Guy on the left has his mind blown haha.
We're from Brasil, South America. We speak English but we're trying to improve. Anyway, our channel has many differents themes and we have a limited vocabulary, in this case we think it's better to speak in our mother tongue. Thanks for watching!
Vivi em regiões semelhantes às da Jonna e também morei 3 anos no Brasil. Os longos e brilhantes dias de verão são incríveis, mas o inverno escuro pode ser difícil. Da mesma forma, ter apenas 12 a 13 horas de luz do dia durante todo o ano pode ser deprimente se você estiver acostumado com o verão na região nórdica. O Brasil também é um país incrível, a natureza é muito bonita
I am from Norway.. slightly different .. Norway has more hills. Finland and Russia is more like Sweden. But it is just as cold and beatilfull. And yes is gets REALLY !!! cold.. -35 is not uncommon, I have seen it being way colder than that as well in winter. The record is -51 celsius In norway.
Alot of Americans who move to Northern Europe. Can't get used to the Dark Nights. Surely Night follows Day .As with the Seasons.? Just get a Grip man .We don't live in a Disney world but a real world.
Many years ago I worked on the offshore rigs outside Campos, Brasil. One January day I brought some Brasilien friends into the fish freezer. It held -25C. I said, this is what it's like in Sweden today. They stood silent and after a while one of the guys asked me -Why do you stay? ha haha. Well now you know.
A friend of mine had a brazilian guy visit him here in Sweden. My friend had their baby sleeping out on the balcony in her stroller.
The brazilian guy: Come! Come! I want to show you something.
Friend walks over to the fridge
Brazilian guy opens freezer.
Brazilian guy: This is warmer then where you have your baby sleeping!!??!!!
love that anecdote
If you've noticed, the creators of the video don't read comments, not at all!
I'm 50 years old and live alone in the middle of Sweden, in the forest like in the video, and it is actually called the North, and I love all seasons and can't actually say that I like one better. I love the cold and dark winters but I'm also grateful when it is over and the spring comes with all the wonders, and the bright summer feels short and wonderful but I love the autumn with the cooler weather and all the colors and berries, and I'm like a kid when the snow comes again. I would not trade our seasons for anything. Every season I eagerly look forward to the next one, the cycle of life.
If it wasn't for the cold, dark winters, we wouldn't appreciate the summers as we do here in the north. I feel as in the winter my soul is hibernating and I'm almost on autopilot in my daily life, only to slowly wake up when the daylight starts to return in the spring and I can feel myself come to life again. ❤
You sir, live what I consider to be the perfect life. Of course it's not that easy in the winter, but the summers are certainly a fair reward for the hard work in the winter. I envy you very much.
i see it the very same way brother - cheers from finland
Ice bathing is known to be an effective natural anti-depressant, because the pain of submerging yourself in that cold water, increases endorphins.
It's also good for your skin, hair, and blood circulation too.
As far as I know the best thing in ice bathing is a boost of immunity. those who do it regularly in Poland, usualy in Baltic Sea during cold months, are known for getting great immunity against infections.

Well, it is impossible to get "get pneumonia" just through the weather and the temperature alone. If you are already infected or/and having an infection is a totally different situation. Please, stop to spread all this bull-shit that is not true at all. If you believe in something, then it is up to you to keep it to yourself. I am not interested at all, unless it has some sort of scientific background. @@zainulabdin1720
"Watch out, it will release a lot of _"endolphins."_ ...
There is a thing called "home blindness" you're so used to your surroundings and the shift of seasons and even the light of the day, that every day just passes by. I love my home country (Sweden) for all the reasons Jonna talks about in this video, but i also dream of other places. I would love to go to Brazil for instance, to visit your rainforest, your amazing landscape and people. I think what we all need is to just stop for a second, look around, see what we have, and be amazed by nature and people around us. Go outside, glance at the night sky, look at the flowers and beautiful creatures that surrounds you. Our Earth is amazing, she is beautiful everywhere, we just need to embrace here and let her show us what she is all about. Thank you for sharing guys, i wish you the best!
For sure. I was blind to the nature we have in Sweden when I aimed to live in the US. I stayed for 5 years - then I missed it too much. I stayed in a subtropical region (Louisiana) and living in that heat and humidity and lack of nature (the way I know it) was difficult for me. It had been fine for shorter periods prior to my move. Lesson learned, the grass is not greener on the other side. I learned to finally appreciate the nature of Sweden and the 4 seasons after those 5 years though. It's like constant change, magic! There's hope in change, somehow.
What she doesn't show you is that we also hunt, moose and deer. If you land a moose, that's enough for a whole winter and we land more than one so we share it. I go around the old peoples houses and ask what they need, they are too old to drive so. I know they could get someone to do it via the government but I've known them all my life and some of them do not like strangers so. It's on the way anyway. Or maybe not but a society that doesn't take care if its elders is a society I don't want to be a part of.
@@februariao7202 Outside of Gällivare, in Sweden. I agree with you that we need to do better by our elders, I'm doing my part.
Sweden is one of the most amazing countries in the world when it comes to nature and its experiences. Here you have the silence if you so wish and you live one with nature!
where i went to school in sweden we learned about safety on the ice and we also got to take a bath in the frozen lake if we wanted to
Amazing to watch your reactions 🇸🇪 It's a beautifull video. We sometimes complains about our weather but I cannot live without our seasons. We flow with them.
You guys really nail the concept of a reaction video, you deserve more subs. i dont even speak your language.
The best season, wherever you live in Sweden, is the spring! It's when life starts...I'm emotional everytime spring comes!
Further south in Sweden it isn't this extreme. In Gothenburg where I live, for instance, we still get a few hours of darkness/light even at the height of summer/winter. When you live like this all your life you take things for granted, so in the middle of summer I'm mostly annoyed the birds start singing at 2 am in June. 😂
But I think a lot Swedes have a close relationship to nature since we have a law (Freedom to roam) that allows us to hike and camp everywhere, as long as it's not farmland, private housing/gardens or fenced structures. We can also pick berries, fruit and mushrooms in the wild. As long as we don't destroy nature or litter of course.
I think Brasil looks like a magical place with your beautiful nature, food, culture and people. It seems so vibrant and colorful and alive. I also like how Portuguese sounds, the rhythm and tones are very interesting to me. I would love to visit someday. That's how we are as humans. What's ordinary to you seems magical to me and vice versa. 🙂
Yeah, when do them little 🤬sleep??? And then they just go South, when it cooles down 😬
It's my favotit 1st world problem 😆
Peace and love from Denmark
Yeah and where I live in Scania, I checked it this year, in dec 22, or winter solstice, The night is 0000 to 0612, the dawn is from 0612 to 0835 and the day is from 0835 to 1530 and then dusk is from 1530 to 1753 and then the evening is from 1753 to 0000... So in total 0612 to 1753 is daytime, so 11 hours 41 minutes of day. and only 6 hours 55 minutes of daylight.
It does sting to work inside from 7 to 16 each day in the winter, not being able to even glimpse the sun.
I won't see the sun from Nov 17 2023 to Jan 15 2024 and on Jan 15 it's just for a minute if I'm fast enough out the office doors.
And then I just think about the guys in Kiruna who'll have May 27 to Jul 16 of pure sun...
One thing to point out about allemansrätten (every man right or the law about the freedoom to roam) is that you do not destroy anything and leave the place as it was (don't leave your mark, take your thrash with you and make sure if you had a bokefire that is put out)
@@Templarofsteel88 I'm sorry, I was so sure I put "do not destroy nature or litter" in there. Ah well.
@@februariao7202 No, Scania is the latin name, and also the international name, for the southernmost part of Sweden, the more or less quadratic peninsula in the south. @liveandletdie forgot to mention that even when the sun is technically above the horizon we very often have heavy overcast skies in vinter so you may want to turn the lights on anyway. In 2020, we had a grand total of 9 hours(sic) sunshine in December in Lund, Scania. It can be rather depressing, but we get it back in the summer.
Beautiful North, feel blessed to have been born here 😊
Same here in Finland too! Ilove our four seasons! Beautyfull!!
Like your reactions, you look totally shocked :) You say you don't know what it is living without the sun for longer periods, I can say it often leads to depression during the winters.. but it's all in your mindset, people who like the winter is much less likely to get depression.. personally I hate winters :) and the temperature can range from +35C in the summer to -35C in the winter (though the last couple of decades we most often get like +5 in the winter and no snow... global warming etc.. And as magical you think this nature is - we swedes think the amazon and nature of Brazil is just as magical and beautiful :) Greeting from Sweden!
Comming from the south of Sweden so I never have had the 24h days or never setting sun -but the seasons are great and I end up on the colder side of the scale. I envy people experience it for their first time because it's so common for me... but man, I always love autumn and to see the trees turn brown and then the morning frost and the first snowfall. I think something is wrong with me because my favorite weather is when it storms and there is rain and lightning... perhaps Tor have a special place reserved for me in Midgård...
Anyhow.. What I wanted to say is that ice baths are a real pain -but if you ever come here and go to a bath house / spa they always have them.. and to go into them really wakes you up (survival mode I guess) and then you go back to a hot bath or a sauna and you feel every part of your body waking up.
I'll google translate into portuguese in case you don't understand and are listening to dubbed or have subtitles in your videos.

Vindo do sul da Suécia, nunca tive dias de 24h nem nunca poente - mas as estações são óptimas e acabo no lado mais frio da escala. Invejo as pessoas que experimentam isso pela primeira vez porque é tão comum para mim... mas cara, eu sempre adorei o outono e ver as árvores ficarem marrons e depois a geada matinal e a primeira nevasca. Acho que algo está errado comigo porque meu clima favorito é quando há tempestades e há chuva e relâmpagos... talvez Tor tenha um lugar especial reservado para mim em Midgård...
De qualquer forma.. O que eu queria dizer é que banhos de gelo são uma verdadeira dor - mas se você vier aqui e for a uma casa de banhos / spa eles sempre os têm.. e entrar neles realmente te acorda (modo de sobrevivência eu acho) e então você volta para um banho quente ou sauna e sente cada parte do seu corpo acordando.

Its interesting how we up here in the north talks about tropical places being like paradise, and you said the same about our little place on earth.
First time visiting your channel. Are you Brazilians? I thought it sounded like portugese.
They speak portugese in Brazil
@@kingmarre9130 yes, i know. That's why i asked if they were brazilians when i heard something sounding like portugese.
You can even experience a "lite" version of the midnight sun as far south as Oslo, called "white nights" where the sun sets at 11PM in summer(around 20th of June) and rises again around 4AM, it never gets completely dark and you can barely see the stars, it happens in most places that are just south of the Artic circle.
It is pretty much the same in the northern parts of Finland, the country where I live. Actually, the same contrasts in the light conditions between winter and summer, and the the Northern Lights, occur all over the Earth above the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Only in reversed order, however. When there is summer in the southern hemisphere, it is winter in the northern hemisphere.
Mmm.. Jonna is doing a great job in capturing the life up north in the nordic countries. Pretty sure it's the same in Sweden, Finland är Norway. Well. More mountains in Norway :P
@@kristofferhellstrom yeah, she does remarkable job, indeed. You're right, the landscapes of the northern parts of Sweden Jonna is showing on her videos are very similar to those of northern parts of Finlad. I guess we dont even have real mountains here in Finland at all, but we have smth called "tunturi" in Finnish. I guess the Swedish equivalent is "ett fjäll". We have few quite tall of those, but I guess they are still called "fjäll" instead of a mountain.
@@blissfull_ignorance8454 Yeah :) You're right in everything you're writing. We got fjäll here. I love Finland! Been doing some genealogy research. Got relatives in Finland and Norway.
@@kristofferhellstrom well, its not that surprising, for people in Scandinavia have been intermingled with each other for centuries, if not even for millennia. I know for sure, that I have relatives in Sweden. Never had any genealogy tests, but I also know that my bloodlines go in Karelia, area that is part of Russia, nowadays but historically concidered as one of the constituent part of that area, where Finnic people have traditionally lived.
It was really fun to see your reaction to Jonnas video.
I grew up in the far north of Norway, far into the Arctic Circle. Norway extends even further north than Sweden. We had at least two months without seeing the sun in winter, and two months with midnight sun in summer. Nothing is as magical as the bright summer nights - and, on the opposite time of the year, the dark winter evenings when the northern lights flood the skies.
Today I live in the farthest south of Norway, at 58 degrees north. It is three degrees further north than the southernmost tip of Chile is south. Most of Scandinavia is very lush, and the short summer provides good growing opportunities for fruit and vegetables here in the south, but also further north, where Jonna lives in Sweden. But in the far north, where I grew up, there is little fruit and vegetables growing. It must be imported to cover the need, but nature is rich in berries, and the sea is full of fish and marine animals. It is also possible to hunt birds, hares and moose.
Large parts of Scandinavia lie within the Arctic Circle here in the north. In the south, only Antarctica lies within the circle.
Norden är det finaste stället på jorden❤
@@lisaandersson7962 Jeg kunne ikke vært mer enig. Men vi er neppe objektive.
@@ahkkariq7406 Jag håller med er båda. För jag vill leva och dö i norden.
Life is what you make of it and nature is always beautiful.
Our nature is free for all to visit and our landscape is so very diverce. We have ancient forests, thousand lakes, long dark winter, short but blooming summers, high mountains, alps and ravines and roaring streams and amazing hiking lanes, and some of the most beautiful views you can find. And winter makes it look like magic
I grew up not far from where the video is filmed and even I gets impressed and amazed 😄 It is not that what she is saying and showing is fake or wrong, on the opposite. I am impressed that she has been able to capture the beauty of it in such a way despite the discomfort of it.
Jonna is really good at cinematography and story telling. That makes video more like a movie than a not so professional videos
ice bath s normal in norway and sweden. or atleast where i lived ive always keept my tradition of witherbaths :P funny reactions for me that lives here. nice work guys and here is an Like! =D
only noth of sweden/norway/finnland is like that :) since its so nothern you come without goin to the Npoole, anyway i may belive norther parts of russia and even canada if im nøt wråong ;) but yeah sometimes in the fall or spring, you can experience under 24h is sun/rain/snow/wind/sun/1 hour something we may call dark up there but more south you comes more darker it gets but in normal ways
This really showes the contrast in a long country. I live in the middle of Sweden. And sure its really dark during winter and aometimes you can see the Northen Lights. And just a bit over Stockholm their is no midnight sun. It really is the magic with the North. Never been in nother sweden, obnly the middle and the South during summer. But a goal is to go up in the North and see the area and beauty 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Fun fact, during november 2019 the middle part of sweden had 2 HOURS of sun, because of it always was cloudy the few owers between the dark
Welcome to Northern sweden, I live in the top north
May I ask mid Sweden is also very cold dark and snowy is their green light? Same as northern Sweden? North indeed very beautiful 😍
I suppose we all think that other places are more exotic and wonderful than our own little spot on the globe and all countries have their charm in one way or another. Yes, Sweden/Scandinavia (Finland included, they are our brothers and sisters) are beautiful but of course there also is things not so nice as everywhere on earth. Jonna´s profession is as a photographer/film maker/artist and therefore an eye for catching the beauty in her surroundings. For the other of us, living our life with more boring jobs, working 7-17 in offices, in hospitals, stores and so on, it is harder to see and appreciate the northern lights and starry skies (hard to do if you live in a city with the light pollution). Work, household chores, taking care of children...dark when you leave for work and also leaving work to go home in the winter. But if we take a step back and relax and really look we may also see what Jonna see and then it is really beautiful!
But, we also have grey and muddy weather, mosquitoes in the summer, snowstorms in the winter, icy roads and other disturbing things...as the rest of the world. Luckily no poisonous snakes, gators and creepy insects... 😉
SO TRUE
Huggormen would like to have a word :)
@@johanpersson6288 Well, it is not deadly if you´re not allergic, have heart disease or are a small child.
@@Passioakka Poisonous ≠ deadly.
Ice bathing is very popular downtime here in Finland. I don't like to do it, but lots of my friends are just loving it. They are carzy like that. I like roll in the snow after sauna :D
the lack of sunlight actually fks with your mood quite a bit.. i live i the middle of sweden, so we dont have polar nights, but very short days.. and you usally work when the sun is up... but as soon as spring comes, every swede transform in to this weird sun hippie.. mood goes up.. i might actually say hi to a neighbour (unlikly.. but it has happened).... but when the fkin sun actually starts to send some heat.. thats when it happens... sun in winter usually means extreme cold..
Remember that herbs, berries and flowers which are able to survive in harsh weather like the ones from north of Scandinavian countries or the ones from tundra of Siberia - are known for great amounts of nutrients and vitamines, becouse as the plants need to protect themselves to survive cold and wind they can produce all this healthy goodness inside for us to harvest :)
It was amazing to see these two see my country för the first time. I suppose we take it all for granted.. But sweden is truley beautiful. I hope that the two of them gets the opportunity to come see it for real ❤❤❤. Their reactions made me cry
I live almost 18yrs in the middle of Alaska. Watching this creates a bit of longing in me.
When Winter arrived I could feel the difference in my body. It is as if the earth itself takes a long slow breath and falls into a calm napping sleep.
In summer there is much to do to prepare for winter and 24hrs to do it in. So summer is Fast and productive. Winter is slow and soft and everything is becomes relaxed.
Yes it is also mighty cold in winter.
But standing for minutes or hours watching the Northern Lights dance above you is Glorious.
Visited my son a few years ago, he still lives in Alaska. We got to his house from the airport and my son looked up and announced: The lights have come to greet you, mom. I sat on his front step while he unloaded the car and went inside. Leaving me for however long I needed to admire the sky.
Ice bathing is common and a very healthy habit if you are healthy( no heart conditions and the like) it however feels like a million needles and your heart rate goes crazy fast it chocks your whole body. But it boosts your circulation and immune system. Think of it as chock-therapy for your body that kickstarts your internal systems. Often you heat yourself up before in a sauna then head back to get varm again after the water under the ice is around 2-3˚C as freezing point is zero.
Jonna is also making jewlery of silver and paintings. They sell over internet. She has a very good singing voice too.
Funny enough, i live not far from Jonna, even met her awhile ago, but yes, its very much like that around here, summers is sun 24/7, winters ... "hello darkness my old friend" keep the channel going =)
Greetings from Finland 👋 🇫🇮
Hyvää päivää from sweden.
A great reaction to a fantastic video by a fantastic woman.
I have been following Jonna for several years now and she has helped me a lot to prepare for my new life in the north-west of Finland.
For me as a German, life here in the middle of nowhere is the hardest but also the most beautiful thing I have experienced in my life.
Even though Finland is described as extremely expensive, I would never have been able to afford a house like mine surrounded by forest and a lake in Germany.
Greetings from a happy girl from Finland
You need any more advice, I live in Sweden above the arctic circle. It's not hard to live here if you have people who know what they are doing. Just prepare because it doesn't matter if you think you can always get out when you're snowed in, sometimes you can't. Get a separate freezer and if your outside of the city, get yourself an old PBV 304 or something like that. I got mine for free and i could probably advice you where to get yours.
Finland isn't expensive compared to Germany... who told you that?
The greatest wonder in this world is _real happiness!_ (Wherever you are.) 🎶🌻🌹🎵😃🌬🌟
Your words make me happy, too :)
I live in the north of Iceland, at 66°N to be precise, and we have a similar situation: It is now December 1st 2023 and we have only a few hours of proper daylight. Conversely, our longest day begins in early May and lasts through July - for 3 months - it never gets dark the entire time (perhaps some dusk if it is cloudy). Being born and raised here means this is MY normal. I have traveled extensively and there are many places that have far nicer climates, but it becomes a bit boring after a while. Home will always be sweet home, what I am used to.
To live in a place the never gets too hot (+25°C max) or too cold (-5°C happens, -10°C or colder is rare, ours is a maritime climate, no excessive temperatures). Everything is CLEAN - the water from any brook or creek is the type of stuff people put in bottles in other countries and our cold tap water is delicious (the hot water in some areas is foul smelling, being geothermal, but not at all harmful).
There is almost certainly a little cheat with the ice bath scene: No one does this unless they have spent a good time in a Sauna or a hot tub, and is hot to the marrow of his/her bones. A dip in icy water or a dive into a snowdrift is REFRESHING - followed by a return to the Sauna or hot tub to get warm again.
For a few years ago I was chocked when I learned that not all countrys had sunlight during nigttime in the summers :) and yes its a common thing to take ice baths during winters. It boost your immune system and afterwards you can stand the cold weather much better and you gain energy from it. Me and my boyfriend do it all winters and we love it! After a while you get used to the ice baths. (Im swedish).
I can’t even imagine seeing daylight in the middle of the night😮😮😍
Beautiful Sweden, feel blessed to have been born here🥰 .Even if the dark season makes you extra tired and low on energy, it is exactly as she says in the video that if you adapt to the seasons, they are wonderful and beautiful in their own way. and you realize how lucky you are to have such nature and environment around you ❤❤❤❤❤
Good point.
Its all about adaption . The seasons are coming and going and you have just follow the flow. There is nothing wrong with a dark and cold winter . You always know its going to end
@@Funkywallot exactly 😁 it's just a matter of finding the little wonderful things in each season and enjoying them in the way that suits you until they're over ☺️

i live in far northen sweden in kiruna and when we have polar nights it gets so dark u can only see 5m in front of u whitout any lights and all the stars are a light on the skies and u can see them so clearly and in the winter in jukkasjärvi (a small town not far outside of kiruna where space station esrange is) they build an entire hotell out of ice and you can sleep on a ice bed and drink from ice cups
❤wao love it
Welcome to Sweden 😊🇸🇪 Thank you for your video on Sweden and for your Kind words about Sweden 😊
I don't live quite as far up north, but we still only get around 3 hours of sunlight during the darkest times in winter here and during summer the nights never really become dark. The sun sets, but is never far enough away from the horizon that you get the black nights of winter. So the nights during summer are extremely pleasant here, they are warm but not hot, there's still some light so you're not reliant on lamps.
If anything, my only problem with living here is that the winters are cold, which limits my outdoor activities since my preferred outdoor activities require me to use my hands and have more control than I can achieve wearing gloves.
I lived on the Swahili coast at one point, and plants really are picky about seasons there too even though it's subtropical.
I live in the Southern parts of Sweden, by the coast, and I don’t even swim in the ocean in the summer 😂.
Weak. Du borde bada isvak.
@@maddragon3076 Jag är förmodligen typen som skulle försvinna spårlöst under isen 😬😂… Jag gillar pooler. Man ser start, slut och botten och kan lätt identifiera eventuella objekt.
As someone who lives quite a bit further north than Jonna (up by the arctic circle), I'll say that you're spot on at 14:20. Having quite extreme and very well defined seasons makes you really appreciate the seasons and all of nature.
That's true for the south as well, as I was born and raised in Småland.
Cant wait until you discover Norway and Finland. Hola from Dinamarca
Its the same in norway,iceland and Finland too

I’m sure one day the both of you will go to a beautiful place like that!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Lovely scenery. Just beware of bears and wolves
I live north of Norway its just the same. Not long until darkness sets in now "/ i hate it want midnight sun every single day of the year
don't forget that you have beautiful and amazing things in your home country that you might not have thought of. one of them is Mount Roraima with its own ecosystem at the top. I am Swedish myself and I have only seen a fraction of nature and cultural history in Sweden.
I love our four seasons in sweden, all beutiful in there own way.
Im from sweden too, and yes this is true but she is definetly not considered the norm of a swede. Swedes dont walj around barefoot om cliffs mid winter😂
I like your react to Sweden, hope you can react more to Sweden
The northern lights can be seen not only in Sweden but also in Norway, Finland and I guess also Iceland. And they are also in north of Canada and in Alaska. But as far as I know the most southern place where you are able to see them, which is very, very rare event ( I guess only during solar storms ) is actualy UK. Sadly I live in south part of Poland so too long distance from Sweden to be able to see them (but Poland and Sweden are both bordering through Baltic Sea) but I love the northern lights - seems I never get enough of seeing them. :)
Northern lights can also be visible in north of Scotland trust me ❤😊
@@zainulabdin1720 today we got this rare view in central Poland too - though the lights were not green but sort of pinky - red :)
You both are soooo adorable!!!!!
I live in California (where it’s hot all the time) and have traveled quite often but now that I’m older I want to go somewhere to see the Northern Lights! I don’t care about going anywhere else but somewhere beautiful where I can see those beautiful Northern Lights! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
She does not live in the north of Sweden, she lives in the middle of Sweden just outside of Örnsköldsvik... I grew up in a tiny village outside of Kiruna in the real north. To give some perspective, if that girl drives her car north for about 9 hours straight, then she would reach Kiruna.
What is difference between mid Sweden and northern Sweden?
@@zainulabdin1720 The climate, the flora and the fauna.
Were i come from (Kiruna), right now they get around 3 hours of sun light per day. In December the polar night begins, which means that the sun doesnt peak over the horizon for about 28 days.
During the summer the sun instead doesnt go down for about 50 days, so we basically have daylight 24/7 for 50 days. Both of this things only occurs above the arctic circle.
The girl in the video lives about a 9 hour car drive south of Kiruna in what is known as middle Sweden.
@@Spoltish yes I know Joanna she lives in north of Sweden ❤, thanks for informing
@@zainulabdin1720 No she does not, she lives in the middle of Sweden👍
Great stuff coming then! Have followed you since you hosted Climbing Daily. You have really stepped up your game. I hope that i can hire you as a guide in the future. I have some climbing in proximity to Chamonix on my bucket list. Also some PG. Cheers from Norway😊
In the south of Sweden where I live some people take a dip in the sea in the winter :)
As a Swede, i live in the south, but we grow wine.and tomatoes. Sweden is "long".ö".
As mentioned in the video, you don't see the Northern lights (aurora borealis) very often unless you travel up North. If you come for a visit as a tourist, do not expect to see Northern lights unless you're super lucky.
I grew up not far from where Jonna lives (but on the coast), and I see these clips of the midnight sun and winter nights and think "...and it's SO ANNOYING." It's fascinating to see how people not from the boreal zone are shocked by this, but for me, it was my first 19 years of life (then moved south where it's a bit less extreme), and two years when I moved to the middle of Finland (same latitude).
I can't sleep during summer.
I can't stay awake during winter.
Working days in November-January are basically "you leave home in darkness, you return in darkness". We get something called "winter depression" for a reason. And vitamin D deficiency.
If you've noticed, the creators of the video don't read comments, not at all!
I'm from Norway🇧🇻, nabouring Sweden🇸🇪 and Finland🇫🇮 - we share the nature, and are parts of Scandinavia (including Denmark🇩🇰- witch is much flatter and smaller, and Iceland🇮🇸 - wich are a volcanic island in the North-Atlantic), but we got more mountains and fjords. Please react to Norway and Scandinavia - if possible🙏🏻🍀❤️
Norge är otroligt vackert! Mina föräldrar var precis i Norge och köpte en hund :)
Our lowest temperatures in sweden, one year that i can remember we had -45degrees celcius. historical im not sure maybe someone knows better than i am. I remember just that particular moment due to the fact many snowplow vehicles had to keep their engines running because if they shut them down they wont start again.
I can say that we are spoiled with beuty up here (i live just 2-3 hour drive from her).
for one I saw northern lights just two days ago, and we have competition for swiming 50m in a huge hole cut out in the ice, quite popular, also school has exercise how to get out of hole i the ice if you accidentally go through a weak part. that includes students jumping in a hole like tgat and getting themselves out.
To be fair, northern Europe has three countries where you can experience all of this. Norway, Sweden and Finland.
And the good thing if you come here as a tourist, you can see all of this nature pretty much all unhindered, we have something called "Allemansrätten". That means that you can go Anywhere on foot exept for the private property around a house, roughly 50 meters. Also, her way of life is for a few "couple thousand" swedes not the majority to be honest. Greetings from sweden :)
Amazing woman, lucky guy!!! From Norway
It is very much real, the axis on which the Earth spins is tilted; that is in fact what produces seasons on Earth. During the summer the north pole is tilted toward the sun and receives the sun's light all the time. While in the winter, the north pole is tilted away from the sun and is in darkness. Now when you look at the seasons in the southern hemisphere... when the north pole gets all the light, the south pole will be in darkness. So when it's summer north, it's winter south of the equator and vice-versa. When there's winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer down-under.
live north of north sweden in norway and we have 2 months of no sun in wintertime , and 2 months of sun all the time in summer ,
I guess that is why we only have Smultron here, never seen it anywhere else, like it have adapted to the cold?&warm weather change
Between summer and winter it can differ up to 70⁰C. 30-35 in the summer and -30 to -35 in the winter.
I live in the north :) It truly is a great place.
Indeed was A really nice video.
Swede here, skål 🍺 Winters are quite rainy and grey here.....actually not like in the video. But it is ok 👍
Top 25 places to visit on the british Isles is a good one to look at
Sim pessoal, é verdade. Morei no norte da Suécia por 8 anos!!! Cabe salientar que é muito dura a vida
Keep in mind, many people from places with a lot of sunlight all year around become very depressed here in Sweden during the winter. They're very dark and there's not much color.
In the northeast parts we actually do have eight seasons.
Yes, it is absolutely incredible up here :) If you one day book a flight, let me know. We might have some beds - but no ice bathing for you ;) You should be used to it, otherwise it cause real troubles, if you don't breathe well or panic. I also don't do it, i prefer the hot tub
I want Ice bathing in north of Sweden ❤
Be careful you so you don't swallow them microphones. You don't need to have them so close.
3rd world?! What country are you from? So you don't know English enough to speak but understand the video?
I always choke up a bit when watching that video, thinking about the lack of sun and then finally getting it. Something most Swedes can relate to.
Guy on the left has his mind blown haha.
We're from Brasil, South America.
We speak English but we're trying to improve. Anyway, our channel has many differents themes and we have a limited vocabulary, in this case we think it's better to speak in our mother tongue. Thanks for watching!
@@3rdworldpeoplereact I see. I was confused.
@yt45204is just the name of the channel
Amazing reaction!, makes me proud to be from sweden.
Hi from Sweden! 🇸🇪❤🇸🇪
Which part of Sweden you are living south, mid or up north?
Vivi em regiões semelhantes às da Jonna e também morei 3 anos no Brasil. Os longos e brilhantes dias de verão são incríveis, mas o inverno escuro pode ser difícil. Da mesma forma, ter apenas 12 a 13 horas de luz do dia durante todo o ano pode ser deprimente se você estiver acostumado com o verão na região nórdica.
O Brasil também é um país incrível, a natureza é muito bonita
not only Sweden has this, the whole northern part of the world has this
I am from Norway.. slightly different .. Norway has more hills. Finland and Russia is more like Sweden. But it is just as cold and beatilfull. And yes is gets REALLY !!! cold.. -35 is not uncommon, I have seen it being way colder than that as well in winter. The record is -51 celsius In norway.
Jonna Jinton does not live in a part of Sweden that has polar night though.
Seems like a video of the northern parts of Sweden.
The lowest temperature in sweden was -52° celcius.
This why I love lapland
Mystical you say. It's mot that Crazy
Portuguese is such a pretty language
I am sure there is a big difference in light between the south of Brazil and the north, the south having bigger diffences
Alot of Americans who move to Northern Europe. Can't get used to the Dark Nights. Surely Night follows Day .As with the Seasons.? Just get a Grip man .We don't live in a Disney world but a real world.
Now perhaps you will better understand what "the Swedish Soul" is . . . we feel that we are "one" with Nature.
PÔ brother poderia reagir esse fantástico musico
