We want polar night updates! Take us in the village or to run errands! New stuff! We know it's dark there now. rustle up some new grub please. We wait eagerly all week for your videos!

One thing that I always feel from you and Christoffer is your profound gratefulness for the beautiful life you 2 have created together.❤❤❤

16:52 My family and I took a cruise to Alaska in September of 2022. A lot had changed in my life and I was dealing with a lot of stresses, yet being out on the water sailing through the fjords... I'd never felt more at peace. At one point in the trip I just sat alone on one of the decks overlooking the scenery and just had a good long cry. It felt nice to just sit and let the weight fall off my shoulders and into the water. I imagine that visiting Svalbard would make me feel very much the same way. The northern lights of polar winter, the tinges of pink from the first rays of sun, the bright golds and oranges and reds of autumn... Thank you for sharing a piece of your heaven with us.

I visited Longyearbyen in April 2023 and it was absolutely stunningly beautifull. Loved it.

I enjoyed this so much! This was mesmerizing to watch and I so appreciate your genuine love of nature and how it changes there for each season. You have wonderful photography skills which transport your audience to another place. Thank you Cecilia!

Sun fest, all the people waiting to feel its warmth, made me emotional, beautiful ❤️

8:32 I am sure, Grim knows how to start “Paw Patrol”. 😂

I love how perfectly matched cecilia and christoffer is despite the differences like cecilia is a very bright and energetic woman but loves the dark polar nights while christoffer is usually calm and very chill but is thriving during the polar day. Both are contradicting but it's what probably makes them complete with each other haha

Growing up as a child we are reminded to respect Mother Nature and be thankful for what SHE has given us. You, Christoffer and Grim are the envy of everyone, living where you do and reaping the rewards. This view throughout the yearly months was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much.

Holy smokes I got a like from Cecilia ! Thank you! Love your content, it's so wholesome

I wanted to come back to this video and share my takeaway from watching your year for the past year. This was my favorite video of all. One day of sub changes for us is an entire year of sun change for you. That was amazing. But in a personal level, polar night has come to have deep meaning for me. I'm a music director and housekeeper to make a living. In October I suffered a back injury that has gone on for four months now. 2 herniated discs and degenerative disc stuff. My life style for the past 5 years has been near constant work since I left an abusive marriage of 27 years and have needed to survive all on my own. You have helped me find that elusive "self care" that has been devoid in my world for so long through coming to learn about polar night. Your videos have bled into my well being in a much unexpected way. Much of my physical work slowed by December and I've been uncharacteristically off. We've had several boughts of inclement weather. It's been involuntary down time. In order to deal with this, I began to draw on your experience of polar night, to accept that you will be more tired, to acceor some inability to do some things. I began to create this cozy lit, candled space in my bedroom where I was up in pain so many nights at 3am. I made warm and cozy out of darkness of many varieties by watching your videos, and I love that I have these new thoughts and understandings in me now that can helo nourish me through this time if healing and rest.

Grimm was set up!! He would never scam anyone because he doesn't need to scam to get treats. He's so beautiful and well behaved that treats rain down on him from above. Grimm is innocent!!!

Have watched this twice………beautifully prepared for us viewers. I shared with friends and expect they will be subscribing soon. The narration--the appreciation of nature and the changing light---is superb! Thank-you Cecilia! Hello to all of you from Florida. Special hello to Grimm. Considered him my celebrity dog-crush.

What I liked this time was your thorough and joyful tribute to the varying qualities of each month on Svalbard, in chronological order. Thank you so much for organizing and sharing this 12 month “calendar” of your life. 💐

I never expected to become so emotional watching this. Your narration and visuals were wonderful! You managed to convey the beauty of each month. Thank you for sharing your beautiful homeland! From a new subscriber in the United States.

That’s truly a blessing . I get that gratitude feeling ! I feel it watching this . Thank you . Happy new year !

Grim is so so so cute... I absolutely love how you incorporated him in the ads.... and seeing Christopher a lot more with you and grim makes my heart happy... the way you both treat grim makes me believe you would both be great parents....

Thank you, Cecilia. I really needed a Svalbard fix after an extremely grueling night and morning caring for an elderly family member who will be 100 in June. ❤ Bless You, Kristopher and Grim. 😍

Absolutely stunning! Breathtakingly beautiful!! The colors, the wildlife❤❤❤!!!!! Your narrative is so good Cecilia! I shared this with my sister right away. Your appreciation for your surroundings is a testimony to how you find joy in life simply, which is a blessing. Grimm is such a ❤️. Thanks for a wonderful video. Peace and love!

The beauty of these landscapes is overwhelming!

Thank you for the beautiful video. Take us to the grocery store again please. Are there any ethnic specific things you do for the coming Valentine’s Day or St Patrick’s day? Want to see more of your daily life too. Books? Do you crochet or knit?

This is the perfect video this morning as I walk my dog in fresh snow in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Thank you for sharing! 💚💙💚💙💚

Can you go around and interview the locals and local businesses so we can see who they are, how they ended up there, how they feel owning a business there etc. I would be especially interested in teachers, bakeries, tour guides, etc. Who is the oldest person there, I assume there are no care homes? Do many people have extended family there? Are their midwives? How do people date? Are some people seasonal? Does anyone have neat polar bear encounter stories? What are the most common activities, sports etc

Cecelia, I too love the winter. I am originally from Michigan and somehow I ended up in the desert! We’ve lived in Arizona for the last 24 years. You remind me of how much I love my home, Michigan will always be home. Thanks for taking us through the year once again. Your gratitude is contagious! ❤

Cecilia, i love that you are such a full on, hi energy person yet you can produce half an hour of soul soothing, calm video ❤ This was gorgeous and Svalbard tourism should be grateful to you!

I can’t believe that having booked a holiday to Spitsbergen over 12 months ago we have finally arrived here in Longyearbyen yesterday. Having watched many of your videos Cecilia it felt so strange to walk into the clothes shop that I have seen you work in. The dog sleigh excursion today with Green Dog this morning was fascinating. Living in the UK 24 hrs of darkness is a once in a lifetime experience just had to do. Electric snow mobile tomorrow loving Norway and Longyearbyen. Still another four nights and days to experience. 😊❤

I sooo loved this video recap!! Thank you Cecilia, you’re the queen of cozyness and the best entertainment throughout the whole year 🤍💙

I am almost 70 and, if I have any regrets, I wish I would have known of Svalbard as a young women, for I would have moved there to stay. I, too, am a winter person and live in northern Michigan, loving the snow, the cold, the amazing wildlife, and wonderful fish. The first time I learned of Svalbard was after reading about the seed vault, but truly understanding the beauty and nature of the place I learned from you and Christopher, and I am grateful beyond words. Had I lived there, I think I would have missed forests, but I am always overcome by the beauty of your videos. Again, I am so grateful to both of you for sharing your islands, your lives, your talents, particularly Christopher's extraordinary culinary skills, and beautiful Grim with whom I have also fallen in love. God bless you both, for you have brought much happiness into my life, more than you will ever know.
