I totally agree!

My father was working on Svalbard in the summer of 1965. He was a scientist on a famous expedition. Because of that I've always had a special relation to Svalbard. All the stories and old pictures. He later went their as a tourist but never after I was born. I have to visit some day.

Your videos are soooo calming they have become my safe-space now! 💕 Everytime i want to relax i come to your channel ❤️

When you are standing on your deck with the moonlight shining on the water, it looks like you are on the deck of a ship at sea. Beautiful.

Love this content! I watch your videos after everyone goes to sleep at my house and just smile. I can live vicariously through them . Love you and Christoffer, GRIM, and your life there. Your home is beautiful. My dutch shepherd HOGAN curls up on the couch with me too and we watch together. I even started buying Hogan dentastix, and he LOVES them.

I watched today's video while my friend was here. She's not a TV watcher, she prefers to watch things on KZread. She had never heard of your channel. Well, let's just say you now have a new subscriber. She was in awe of the landscape and moonlight, and once she saw Grim - that did it - she was hooked. When you were outside with Grim, she asked "Is that a bird tweeting?" I said no, that's just Grim performing his bird impressions. 😁 🐦

I want to Thank you so much for sharing your life and journey . I have lung and brain cancer and I watch your videos every night and they help me forget my problems and enjoy your beautiful videos.

I wish I could clean my house at your speeded-up speed! It's inspirational because you make it look so casual, rather than the big mental conflict it always is in my head: should I clean or should I make toast...? Thank you Cecilia, Christoffer, and Grim (and Svalbard) for another walk on the beautiful side - of the planet.

So absolutely beautiful. Makes me long to stand where you stand and enjoy the landscape. Thank you for making such breathtaking videos so that I can live vicariously through them. I doubt I will ever go there but I might if I was a lot younger. Looking forward to you next one!

You know you're doing something right when your videos don't change content all that much at all, and yet the editing, the shots and the music work together so seamlessly and pleasantly that the viewer always enjoys coming back to watch the next episode. 😊 good job 👍

I have watched this channel for 18 months . This post is just outstanding. How beautiful that places is a so cold.

This winter really hasn't had extreme weather there this year...cray...any hoo stay fancy blomdahl..and keep em coming...you're the best!!

For those of us who live in a northern climate I can feel the cold off the water. Not sure that people from a warmer climate could even imagine how raw that cold must be!❤️🇨🇦

the polar bear in the bar though 😂😂 , Grim is so comfy wrapped in blanket

Yes we have bread slicing machine in the French bakery here. Hello from Quebec! We love your videos! Great job and thank you!

THAT GIFT SHOP HAS A WALRUS PLUSHIE!!! I need it for my walrus collection!! Hahaha! I have a stack of walruses by my computer, one on my bookshelf, and a couple in my bathroom. They're the cutest chunks, and I love them.

LOVE that yellow jacket 😻 I'm happy that the sun is starting to slowly come out for you all 🌞 enjoy the transition!

In Germany we have bread slicing machines in every supermarket and almost in every backery.

It’s crazy to me that Svalbard is so isolated and so well-serviced. Our Canadian North is terribly equipped and serviced. Yes, it’s much more vast…but..a gallon of orange juice is $35, and..the communities go without soooo much (like, no fresh fruit)

It is impressive what they have on their island. I think because they are able to have ships bring supplies in year-round, it gives them a big advantage over Canada's and Alaska's northern towns that are airplane dependent. I watched a video on grocery shopping in Barrow Alaska, and it was crazy the prices they pay compared to Longyearbyen.

Thank you so much for taking us on your daily journey. Grim is SO adorable. What a sweet baby!!!

I always like going to the grocery and restaurants with y’all😊. Also, caffeine is your friend!! ❤️mine, too!!😄. Coffee and Coca-Cola is every day for me. It’s my vice of choice 🧡🧡. It is sleeting and snowing In Kentucky right now..so I’m home with my doggy Finley, drinking coffee and snuggling. Have a wonderful weekend Cecilia 🧡🧡

I watch you ALL the time! I'd love to live there! My husband and I drove to Alaska for three months to be with our son and grandchildren. I'm in love with the mountains! I hope you bought that polar bear blanket you held up...I was like "BUY IT! DO IT!". So so cute! Grim NEEDS it!

Happy Imbolc! The Light returns! I am at 49 degree Latitude and so happy for the lengthening days and early signs of Spring..

I like the reality of this video. Cleaning the house and showing the groceries. Organizing. And lovely the blue light tones on the mountains

Greetings from Western North Carolina. I hope you and Christopher are well. I love your home life. I personally need warm sunny days to get rid of the winter time blues. I'm very thankful for the 4 seasons. I would love to experience the polar winter time and to see the northern lights outside my window. It would seem magical to me. I appreciate you sharing a little part of your life with me. You guys take care and stay safe and warm. Come visit Western North Carolina sometime. Asheville NC is a very nice city. All the best to you. Thank you. Thomas.

Thank-you for bringing me light to some of my bad days Cecilia :) I feel like I am walking around with you.

At the very beginning Grim watched you intently..went behind you and looked around behind you in a very protective manner. Dogs do that. They go behind the parent owners to guard their backs while the parent relaxes. It was so obvious in that beginning part of the video. Grim had your back literally.💕 What a good puppy son. 0:34 to 0:57

We lost him a year and a half ago to cancer, he died in my arms, and I miss him every single day. It’s so nice to see him in your videos :) it’s almost like watching my Maxwell again! And I adore your videos. You get to see such incredible things and thank you so much for sharing it with us! We are so lucky!

Aw thank you so much, I'm feeling a lot better now that theres a bit more light 😍😍

These videos give me a brief moment of relief from the blistering heat we are currently experiencing here in a more southern part of the world

I am 55 years old now, but one of my first summer jobs was in grade 8, age 13, working in a bakery, slicing bread! So that machine looks very familiar to me. The bakery that I worked at was called Bernie's Bakery but is closed now. I enjoy your videos so much and found them a real comfort when I was living in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories from 2019 to 2020 during Covid lockdown! I'm back in Ontario now and living in a small town called Midland. Watching your videos reminds me of all of the wonderful friends I made when I was volunteering at the Yellowknife farmer's market, who live full time in polar nights and polar days! Thank you for broadening our horizons Cecilia. xoxo

The Moon!

5.05 - That is an amazing shot, so calm and serene. Feels like I can spend hours everyday just looking at it, it's like meditation...

I can honestly say that I despise the Winter. With that being said, you make me feel as if I could love it living there! Thank you!!!

The view from the deck with the moon over the water at 11am is amazing.

Btw, I look forward to your videos and check everyday on my lunch hour to see if there's a new one! It's SO fascinating to see life in a far away place. (And that says something coming from a Canadian who is also accustomed to snow, wind and -27C weather!)

Hi Cecilia, hope you're feeling better. Everytime I see Grimm I just want to give him a big hug!💖 I love the location of your house and could just stare at that waterview all day and night.. And....... you have the most awesome grocery store. Seriously

Beautiful! The full moon! The blue light!

You can buy bread & slice it yourself in French supermarkets, but I've never figured out how to put it neatly back in the bag, so thanks to Christoffer for his unintended video tutorial.

Just love your videos. Your cabin is looking amazing…just so cozy. You should do a some videos where you do stay in the local hotels for a night to show us what to expect if we ever visit…it’s on my list of amazing places to travel to! Take care 😊

I so look forward to seeing the light that’s coming on your beautiful village. The moon light was definitely so gorgeous! How cozy was that beautiful restaurant and getting to take your shoes off,my dream come true. Not too my knowledge do we have a bread slicer in our stores I’ve never seen one that is really cool 👍. Grim is such a precious pup and that beautiful face 🫂. Great video and thank you for sharing your your wonderful life……💞😊💞

Your home is so beautiful and I love the photo on the wall near your woodburning stove. Where I live our winters are long and very cold. Our summers are sooo humid and hot so we also experience very extreme changes of weather!Take care and cheers from Ontario Canada❄💙❄🤍❄☃️❄🤍❄💙❄P.S. I really enjoy watching your videos and Grim is soooooo cute!

Many years ago they had bread slicers at grocery stores here in Toronto, Canada. They also used to have (I think a few still do have) coffee bean grinders where you just scoop the beans you want grind them up in the machine. But I think there must be some cross-contamination of bean grinds as the machines aren't cleaned between grinds (that I recall).

Hanging the bedding outside in the cold is a wonderful idea I am now doing that too on my deck overlooking the ocean in the forest. We get lots of cold wind when.it’s now raining here on the Oregon coast and it really makes everything crisp and beautiful! Such a good idea!

Another awesome video! Thank you sweet Cecelia! ❤️❤️❤️

I really like that orange-yellow coat color. It makes me happy!

Your subsciber numbers are really rising. Congratulations. Funny how I'm drawn to see life in Longyearbyen. Likely to appreciate the climate in my beautiful California. And funny that the ads before the video are of tropical vacations. Thank you Cecilia.

Love your home! It’s sooo cozy. That place you ate at looks really nice. The market looks great. Places look so clean and cared for. The view from your home is so mesmerizing. Grim is so chill

Awww, Grim loves his little snow bed but he can appreciate snuggling under a blanket too. ❤🥰

I can understand your pain in cold winds. I live in Manitoba Canada less than an hour from the US border and this morning at 8 a.m. it was -32C with a windchill of -45. We are hearty Canadians!

Cant wait for your first sunrise video :)

Would you be able to talk about the ocean in front of your home? I don’t remember many times you have walked on the beach or are you not allowed? What about creating a jetty/walkway to have your boat? What activities are you allowed to do in the bay? Or is it to close to the airport to allow free movement? You also mentioned about some sewage being piped there. Interested to know what happens with your ?grey Water. 😊

I really look forward to your vlogs they're so relaxing x

So happy to see you're starting to get some lovely blue light! I'm sure it makes a big difference. In Toronto, Canada, we get down to daylight from 8 am to about 430 at Christmas. But now we are back to roughly 730 to nearly 6 pm! Hope this helps the seasonal blahs.
