I don't know why but seeing those 28:00 mountains and that water made me so emotional. this place seems like out of the world. I live in a busy city with always people around us, so to witness such barren and a place so natural is just so serene. it must be overwhelming and yet peaceful to be there. I really want to visit, hopefully one day I can

That shot of the clouds reflected on the water 🤩🤩

For people who want to take a hot shower after cold water dipping: Be careful with the temperature of the hot water. Because your receptors are numbed by the cold water you might not be able to judge how hot the water of the shower actually is and maybe burn yourself. Other than that it definitely has quite some health benefits. Check out Susanna Soeberg, she is doing excellent research on the effects of cold water exposure.

🇨🇦 it's actually sad that the waters not still frozen. Scientists are saying that it's affecting the polar bears horribly. They are starving and awfully under weight. Even their reproduction systems are being affected. Polar bears, alot of them used to have 3 cubs. Now because of hunger, and malnutrition most are having just 1 or 2. Rarely are their 3 anymore. It's so sad what mankind has/is doing.

Who needs a TV on a boat when you have incredible scenery like that!! Great video guys 👍

Wool, wear all wool. Life-changing! Your trip sounds wonderful! ❤

We have black bears in the southeast of the US. They aren’t as dangerous as polar bears. But they are still dangerous. I remember waking up one morning to a noise outside my bedroom window. I looked out and my dad must have forgotten to bring in the bag of dog food from the night before because the biggest black bear I have (still) ever seen was sitting up against the screen door (the noise that woke me up) and was sitting there eating the dog food by the handfuls like it was potato chips and just looking around like he was having the time of his life. I wish I had a video camera back then (it’s been over 20 years ago). Black bears have also figured out how to open car doors so we have to keep the windows up and the car doors locked. They will destroy a car because they often get closed in and can’t figure out how to get back out. I have sooo many stories about black bears but I think this comment is long enough… lol!

I'm currently vacationing in Fairbanks, Alaska. I now completely understand how your body never wants to shut down when it's the midnight sun season. It was cloudy one day and I was getting ready for bed, and around midnight, the sun finally came through the clouds. For some reason, that completely re-energized me and I had the worst time falling asleep, even with my blackout curtains. Your body isn't telling you it's time to go to sleep because it's always daylight.

It's so interesting how we are all so fascinated with the cold. There are other videos on YT about the coldest village on Earth where it gets -70 degrees in Yakutia!! Their lives look so depressing. There's no color. Cars run all day and night for fear of the engine freezing. No refrigeration bc it's so cold. Looking @ your life looks way more inviting bc you actually live a very well-rounded life. It's a mystery how you do it. I am always cold! Anything below 80 degrees Fahrenheit and it's a wrap for me! 🥶❄🥶❄🥶❄
