You hike through a snow storm, haul out your camera, check the front of the glass and give your gear a little love pat and carry on. Now that is love of nature, love of the environment and love of your gear! Amazing, Morten.

Frozen eyelashes, that is dedication to a passion. Another amazing video, thank you.

The world needs more positive, nature loving people like you.

Morten, you are a total beast when it comes to wildlife photography. Respect man, respect.....

Morten, your photography and video work is nothing short of incredible as is the lengths you go to. Your talent is admired and respected more than I can tell you. Very best to you in 2018! Cheers, Pete

Thank you for replying and I can't wait to see what you will present next year. I am amazed that your camera's and batteries hold up in this weather. My main photography camera's are a Canon 1D MK111 and 5D Mk11 but have recently added a Panasonic GH4 to progress my video and editing skills. There is so much to learn from your work and I am very grateful.

*I agree with you,,,*

Morten, I know that this was filmed over a year ago, but I am hooked on your channel. What I keep thinking of is how much dedication you put into making these videos. For instance, just watching a scene of you trekking across the frame, since you are by yourself, you have to go outside the frame so as to not disturb the snow and set up your video camera, make note of where the it is framed then go back and make your trek across the frame, then go fetch your video camera. The same goes for capturing different video angles in the same scene, where you have to stop and reposition the video camera and continue the dialogue, as well as sprinkling in the landscape to help us get that sense of place. It all seems so professional as if someone else is shooting it. I'm not sure everyone truly thinks about this and appreciates all the effort to make the film so engaging, like we are your friends. I get fully engaged in your adventure and learning. The pictures are the cherry on top. I haven't watched all your videos yet, but plan to. If you haven't already done so, how about a video about your process or thoughts on your video filming and production process. While I think that we all know that it is not just the technical skills of your videos but the content and passion you add, it would be nice to know from the filming side. Thanks again for sharing so much of yourself and your multitude of skills. I am a huge fan!

Lost for words. Your photo's are absolutely stunning. But the thing that I admire most about you is your passion and your respect for the animals and world around you. You are at one with your surroundings. Oh those photos, I feel like I'm there with you.

My feet got cold just watching!! Stunning landscape, animals, and photography. Well done.

The sounds and sights are out the ordinary world. Thank you so much for taking us along this awesome journey.

Phenomenal! Absolutely blown away! Tenacious,enthusiastic,good natured,diligent, nothing short of EPIC!! Those snow shoes on that snow makes my back itch, does that mean i am part bear and prefer hybernation? Lol The musk oxen visuals bring tears , maybe it is the music. Spectacular!

Inspiration man I have ever seen... Friendly, sincerely, target oriented... There is no a special effect, no camera fake... It's just nature. Go on my friend, never give up. I am looking forward to seeing your new projects...

I'm crying right now, like two waterfalls down from my eyes! I love animals so much... what a great video both of them! I do not often cry but you made me and I'm a 37 old man from Sweden. Thank you so much!

a greater and better version of bear grylls because unlike bear you don't kill the animals but you show us the wild and your love for nature, and you are all alone by yourself.. love it

These videos in these conditions are just unbelievable! I don’t know of any content/channel that puts out this kind of amazing footage in these conditions and the imagery and video is a “10”! Not only that but your exhilaration from being in this kind of environment just adds to the enjoyment and makes me laugh! Love this channel Morten! ✊👊👌🙏🙌🙋‍♂️

I can feel your joy and how much you love Photography, great photos your the real deal.

Morten you should have your own TV Series, so inspirational and your presentation just draws the viewer in. I don’t know how you do it but I love it. Thank you and all the best. Mike

Thankyou Morten for the inspiration..you work so hard to keep the dream alive.

To see how much joy you have in photography is very inspiring!

Unreal. I use to do a lot of backpacking/camping. Never in the snow but many cold days. Respect! WOW!

OMG - I will never complain about getting in my warm car at 4am again - my wife thinks I am crazy, well she did until I showed her this vlog - brilliant stuff thank you

Mind blowing, Morten. The essence of wildlife photography. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!

Thank you for taking us with you! I will spent 10 days there in December and now waiting even more eagerly and hope to see them too.

Morton this in incredible as always and truly shows your passion. Guys like you and Dave Morrow who is also out in the snow shooting landscapes, it's just incredible and words can't describe what I'm seeing here and thank your for doing this. This is not to mention that you have to be in excellent physcial condition to do the hiking, not just when the weather is good, but especially when the weather is like this.

I just had to watch these videos from your trip to Dovre-fjell again. The Mox oxen never stops to impress me. Wonderful videos of beautiful animals.

Thanks for taking the time to record these videos while you are out in these conditions that most of us won't get to or can't imagine. Just seeing how you manage the simple things up there is quite inspiring to watch

Magnificent is the only word I can think of! Almost prehistoric scene, love-your videos man!!

Wow Morten! Thank you for taking us along with you. Great photographs and amazing weather.

You took wildlife photography to the "stratospheric" level! I admire all your work!

Fantastic images of such a fascinating animal they look so serene in what must be such a hard environment I take my hat off to you going to them but can see the joy in your face when your near them I also salute you for thinking of them first before your photos and filming not to disturb them. As always cannot wait to see more

Next time I'm shooting in what I think is "cold" weather...I will remember the "icycles" on your eyelashes...and I'll put on my big boy pants and keep shooting. Awe inspiring once again.

Excellent videos Morten, I’m looking forward to more in the future!

Thank you, Morten, thank you!

Outstanding! - During my time in the British Army "9 Years" I spent 3 months in Norway and personally know just how cold it can be. It's incredible how calm & excited you get in such cold conditions and still nail the shots. Great work Morten, inspirational.

I cant explain how i feel in words. I am in tears and full of joy, i don't know why. I love how you have taken us the viewers with you along on this journey. Its so well documented, i felt i am with you. Thank you for this experience. Happy new year and i wish all the best and good wishes for your upcoming trips in the wild :)

You inspire me Morten...I love your zeal...

I’m glad you’re going back in a month or so.. the images are great they all tell a story of the environment and struggles of the musk oxen.. but seeing the effort you put in to getting these shots makes each one 100x greater. Here’s to a great 2018! And many more adventures. Andy.

Hi Morten, I've just recently discovered your videos and I just love them . I'm just an amateur wildlife photographer, mostly birds. But last year I managed to chase one of my dreams... to get to the north and take photos of polar bears in the wild. A dream come true! So I totally understand your thinking and passion. I do have a question.... do you ever carry binoculars ? I realize it's extra weight is a deterrent... but sometimes it's just nice to see the animal up close and live. I will take in the scene and then I start taking frantically taking pictures! lol. Best wishes from Canada. Coral

Thomas Heaton gave you a shoutout in a video and so i said ,well, lets see what this Morten has on his channel. You are brilliant! This is what i have been searching for for such a long time. I dive in your videos, i watch tne new ones, i watch old ones... It is unique how you see the nature, how you connect the photography and your bushcraft, you enjoy being out and great photos are just a sweet bonus. You are inspiration to me, thank you for helping me get back on the track. Earlier i was as fascinated as you are, but then for whatever reason i lost connection with nature. This i mean by getting back on the track. Thank you!
