Are we making the move from Svalbard? After seeing many comments about this on my recent videos, I thought it would be good to sit down in front of the fire and talk about it! Christoffer also weighs in on how he would like the future to unfold 😊 We also walk down on the frozen fjord to enjoy the cold cold weather! I hope you enjoy this video!

You, Christoffer and Grimm are a beautiful family and I look forward to your future successes. This channel, with its low key, beautifully edited storytelling sets the bar for this genre on KZread

I've met I think only 2 people who actually had even heard of Svalbard and one person who had actually lived there for a few months working on a project which blew my mind. Thank you again for your so beautifully expressed comment.

    ​​@@lynns609The whole sea will never freeze, but as shown in the video the water close to the shore can definitely develop an ice coat (from thin slush to actual closed ice) when it's cold enough - but it really does need to be quite cold for a while, because you're right, the sea does move all the time, and the salt also lowers the freezing temperature of the water. So if there is ice on the sea you can be sure it's damn cold!

Their adorable cabin is right on the "sea", though technically I guess that's a fjord. Anyway, in that shot, all you see is snow and ice. Maybe you're new to the channel and don't know yet where their cabin is, but yes. Also in places near the poles there are ships that have to break through the ice to get to where they need to go. There are cases of ships being stuck in the ice for weeks because they couldn't break through and when they stopped it froze them in place! Can you imagine??!!🥶😱

    I envy so much of life in Svalbard. The insulation and fireplace for a start and the food served.. I can light a fire and make lots of good food but what do I then do when the freezer is full?? My life is quite limited by a regular fridge with a small freezer. When I make them good meals and have leftovers for a week, I wish I could just leave it on the terrace and have it deeply frozen for a later day. No need for Uber food delivered to the door . Ah..Svalbard life is like a freezing dream for a foodie.

    I'm happy you're not moving from Svalbard, but I'd watch you anywhere, because I love your videos :) I've loved your travel vlogs too! Another couple I watch have a home in Positano, and they also bought another one in Tuscany, and plan to split their time between the two. Sounds like that could work for you two as well! Whatever you do, I'm sure it will be fun for you both, and fun to watch :D

    I have always thought that the people who had the most appealing living arrangement, own two homes. Neither home has to be luxurious. It has to be well made, a comfortable size, easy to open up for an extended stay and easy to close down securely until another time. What I view as an isolated life in Svalbard, might be balanced by more of a village life somewhere else. Best of both worlds. Endless fun to contemplate.

    That's very true if you can only see parents for a couple of days a year. I saw someone talk about how it added up to only seeing their parents for the equivalent of a few weeks worth of days once they'd left home because they only went to see them for brief trips. It triggered them to take longer trips in those last years or their parent's life. I don't think we realise how quickly the years fly by.

    My parents are now both older than their own parents were when they died. I’ve already had cancer for the first time. I just focus on spending as much time with them as I can get. I have no family of my own so of they go first I’ll be utterly lost and if I go first it’ll be the ‘wrong way around’ and a lot of grief that they really shouldn’t have at their age. We’re clinging like little barnacles! I first got sick in my thirties and it did a lot of damage. I feel like I’ve spent the whole time since limping along waiting for the next blow instead of being able to breathe and make the most of survival. Survival hurts! Blooming painful. If you are in good health or have a good support system please make the most of it. Those things don’t last forever. Enjoy it while you can.
