I think we night owls would thrive there! 🤣

“Wake up it’s time for school” “But it isn’t morning yet”

The idea of a blackout of the sun depresses me. I do like hearing of your experience though.

I would love to live in the darkness! Soooo peaceful ❄️

I am a rare example of seasonal depression in that I have it during the summer months! I can’t STAND summer: the heat & long daylight hours keep me hiding behind blackout curtains in air conditioned solitude during June, July & August. I would LOVE to experience Polar Night & know the only problem I’d have is when it ends😐

I was so fascinated by this in geography class and now I'm itching to visit this place one day🔥

Yup! I've lived with it for 30 years in Northern Norway lol. But of course the sun is only gone for 2 months here. I really need that yearly break from the sun. It's cozy.

As a night guy this is an absolute win

These are the kind of places that give you that chill vibe that everything is alright

You have to be tough I would be depressed . But it is beautiful there

The lack of light doesn’t bother me but the abundance of bears do

I live in Svalbard as well! Great place to lose or gain a fear of the dark…and polar bears 😂

I can't imagine the 1st people to discover this. Can u imagine freaking out bc it stayed dark for months?

As an introverted night owl who loves cold weather I VOW TO VISIT THAT PLACE SOMEDAY

Extreme night owl here: I would love it! Bright daylight hurts my eyes, and I swear I cannot think straight until it's dark outside.

I would love it also. You need rain to enjoy the sun. Why not darkness for the same gratitude also 🤷🏽‍♀️💕🕯️

I'd love to hear more about how people adapt. Do many people sleep longer, or do work hours require more of a routine? 💕

ALHAMDULILLAH ma Sha ALLAH beautiful

I’m so curious about the people who saw this terrain and decided to build. It’s so magical that I wish we could know what they thought the first time they experienced it.

Absolutely could, I’d struggle more with midnight sun! I get fed up of summer so quickly. I do enjoy the sun and love a holiday but I’d much rather live in a country that’s like this, just seems so magical. My favourite time of year is winter time. I am on Scotland though so we don’t get a lot of snow but a lot of rain and wind which I love getting home and putting on my candles pjs and a movie ❤ Svalbard I think I’d love to visit if I ever get the chance. I am currently going through process to become cabin crew with to British airways but I don’t think they fly here, would be incredible if They did l. Lots love to you, Christoffer and Grim xx

I've been living in darkness my whole life.

“Mom can I go out with my friends?” “Sure but come back before sunrise.”

I grew up in Alaska. At least we know the Earth is round. It is the exact opposite in the south like Antarctica. Our summers are their winters, our winters are their summers of light 24/7 and vice versa.

It's beautiful, but I'd never survive. I'm on the east coast of the US and it's now dark by 5pm, and I already have my light therapy boxes up. 😎😎😎

I really want to do it. It would be awesome 👌. Happy for you.

I love the golden hours at dawn and especially at dusk..I think Indiana is far enough north for me..

That's creepy and majestic at the same time

This honestly looks so peaceful.

I like hearing your stories, but I couldn’t do it, myself.

Looks like a fairy land. Yr English is so clear and under standable to a Tamilian (India) like me. Do you people meet and get to gather during this winter? Any social gatherings.? Do post some videos.

Beautiful, just breathtaking, wow! You are so blessed.

I appreciate its unique beauty, but I need my sunshine. So I’ll watch and learn about Svalbard from your awesome videos in the comfort of Down Under! 🇦🇺

Yes....I would absolutely thrive

I could personally never live like that. I would probably get depressed. I’m sad that it’s daylight savings time now and the sun goes down at 6 vs 9, ps I live in Texas. I would love to vacation for a week in Alaska when it’s 23 hours of sunlight. That’s sounds very exciting but like I would also loose teach of time and I would not sleep in the first 24 hours

I would personally be happy to live like that, I love the night time, as long as there are stars I’d honestly be having a blast having pure darkness for 4 months

they living in incognito mode💀

I couldn't live like that for more than a few days..

Do you sleep longer when it's so dark?

I love the dark and night time best. This is cool, and it looks cosy af

Sue here: love your shorts videos too! You teach us so much. Plus of course it's fun to live somewhere where you can basically live in fun pajamas! That would be me. 👍❄️

So happy I found your beautiful channel girl !!!!! Love the content keep it up!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️

I’m not sure because I love sun light but I also love night like it is here right now I would just have to try it before I could say if I would absolutely love it or not

I would love it too!

WHOA. That’s so magical, like it’s another world but it’s on earth 🤯🥹

How do flat earthers explain this??? 😂

Could someone visit your island? Are there any hotels or Airbnbs?

This is so beautiful and I would love it. I can’t believe places like this exist. I would totally move there!

I love living in a comfortable polar🏠

Night owl heaven. Maybe there’s a connection with people that were born at night to like the night best. I’m the most energetic at night and when the morning comes I fall asleep. Been this way since I was a kid. It’s rough tho when you’re like this and are from the sunny south.

How do you deal with the lack of sun? I believe you that you love it but are also times when you miss it? Do you take vitamin D?

As someone who lives in Australia, I don’t think I would like being in darkness and cold for that long. I love the sunshine, it makes people happier and we need vitamin D 😄 EDIT: but it does look pretty 💞

you can only get used to this if you lived your life in the polar circle, im used to this and prefer this cuz sleep is better without light.

The earth does not move, and it's not a globe.

A night owl like me woud love to live there🙃

I would love to visit that country🥰

Thank- you for introducing ( most of) us to a different way of living! I'm intrigued by your lifestyle and somewhat envious. Happiness comes from within...whether you live in Tahiti or Norway 🇳🇴

Me being a night person I really want to live there. Also it's really interesting that your voice sounds like truly opposite of depression

I’d love to try it for at least a little while. You’ve inspired me to visit Svalbard during the polar night someday! (Also thanks for this - if I was still teaching science I’d use your videos with my students when learning about earth’s rotation, seasons etc. it’s amazing how many misconceptions there are out there!). Thanks for all your videos, Cecilia! Love from Buffalo, NY USA ❤

I am very glad that you love it. It must be beautiful to be where you like to be.

My dad once worked there in Svalbard, and he told me the no sunrise was a headache for him, cu'z he wasn't used to not seeing the sun for a day. But eventually, he started getting used to it, and he enjoyed it there

I won’t lie…it looks appealing. Like I understand it can’t be easy, living in two and a half months of darkness, but I gotta say…something about it just looks…cozy.

This actually looks amazing! Would love to experience this someday❄️🌙✨ I really enjoy your videos:) Love from New York❤

Thank you Cecilia for sharing this information as my child was constantly asking me about same things since we started following you❤. Your videos does help us to understand the lives of people in extreme climatic condition👍🏻👍🏻.

This place sounds like heaven 🥲

It looks ethereal, like an inbetween realm. Otherworldly yet earthly at the same time ❤

I'd hate it. I already have a winterdepression when it's dark at 6 pm so I can't imagine how I feel if I have to live there

Im coming to fast the month of Ramadan! Easiest fasting ever!

This is so surreal, i love it!

I’m used to this because I live in Alaska❤

I would absolutely LOVE this.

How beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!!

Wow that is so cool I would love to see it!!

Taaaaaaack för visningen av jordklotet. Ingen annan har p ett sådant pedagogiskt sätt fått mig att först hur solen roterar. Nu förstår jag varför det är mörk även i Sverige. 🙏💐🇸🇪

Partying out “damn… I don’t want the night to end” Locals “don’t worry, we got 2.5 months of darkness” 🤣🔥

That is kind of really fun 😊

I once worked night shift and I didn't see daylight in 2 weeks. I didn't realise it when I was doing it but it really did affect me mentally. I couldn't live like that

I would love it. It seems so cozy!

Love it unmeasurably!!!!!!!

That “Okay” just like the voice in Mobile Legends

I yearn to experience what that feels like at length of many seasons.. yet I cannot speak on what effect may truly unfold.. I do love the window you offer from your world and your personal perspective and feel of the environment.. I lived in Hawaii for two years and it was a true marvel to live in an environment of perpetual perfect weather with no super dramatic shifts in temperature only slight dip into cool air and occasional storm.. so often it felt like a dreamscape dreamland.. yet my heart is curiously continually pulled toward the Arctic environment.. something so special feels to exist there.. an ever present yearn to absorb firsthand.. love your video sharings thankyou🤍

Its very beautiful but I have problems with not enough sunlight in our Canadian winters .

I always look forward to catching your uploads. Lets me experience your island from out in the Pacific.

It looks like a dream to live there despite the weird time zones and freezing temperatures Looks like some kind of elite ski resort

I would love to live in that darkness. The only problem is that there is the corresponding 24 day during the summer months! I would find that impossible to tolerate. Thank you for sharing!

I love it too! I would move there in a heartbeat.

Great channel. Very fascinating! Cheers from the USA!

I like long dark evenings so I'd probably like this as well.

This is paradise for heavy sleepers.

As I’m 8n Norway, I would love to live in Svalbard. I’ve been thinking about moving there when I’m older!

Perfect! Now I can go outside AND develope natural night vision. Oh yeah, I can also let loose and go unga bunga mode in the snow.

I love watching your videos

Nice explanation for me who lives in Guayaquil, Ecuador, South America, a sunny country 😎

Sounds great!

I have always believed in 'those were the nights' rather than 'those were the days' so I'd absolutely love it!

I used to live in Scotland, we had months where it was light after midnight! During softball season we’d have games starting at midnight! It was different, and took a bit to get used to it. Other times it was dark most of the day. I loved it but I loved Scotland. The people were amazing!

I would need lots of a Vitamin D supplement. The Northern Lights though dancing at night must be a nice swap for the sun.

I might accidentally hibernate (sleep) the entire time. I don’t know if I could do it because I get weird when it rains and is gray for 3 weeks, like it does in Northern California. I don’t walk around too much at night because there are a lot of skunks and bad people, but I remember enjoying it, lol. I have a feeling that you would love anywhere you are because you seem extremely positive-prone. You make it look awesome.

I loved Svalbard. We sent Christmas there in 2108 and I thought the polar night would really affect me badly. I was surprised that it didn't in the week that we were there. It's a wonderful place.

I would love it , I love the early nights in the uk and the dark mornings in winter

At least u have snow, makes it pretty and will help reflect moonlight. I live on the north of Scotland and obviously we don't get the same light as u but winter can be so depressing, very short days in winter. And lots of rain and wind. It's hard work
