What an incredible "cruise" the 2 of you chose to take . Lively to see enjoyingv your natural surroundings WITHOUT having to put in the usual required hard work LOL lovely to see Kristoffer in particular ,able to relax with you and simply enjoy both you as his company and the amazing surroundings. Thankyou for sharing the stories of history with us. It always makes history more appealling to me when theres a personal touch added. I missed whether you said you could visit these outposts in your own vessel??? I think not but please clarify ?? Such exquisite beauty, all Gods glorious masterpiece for mankind to explore and animals to live there. Many blessings from Down Under in awe of your part of the world. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏✝️

Hello Cicilia..i am from India and it felt so nice to see our country's own research station on that small vilage ...the plaque you showed...it was written both in Hindi language (our national language) and English...with the name of the Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal who must have initiated that research programme... thankyou so much for showing that... beautiful video as always ❤

Those of us who lived in The North know that dressing for the weather is key. There's not really a reason to BE cold when it's cold outside, in fact wearing proper clothing means you're actually toasty warm. :) Which reminds me, I need to get snow pants...

I never comment, but found your channel about a year and a half ago when I started to plan my reserach campaign in Ny-Ålesund and wanted to learn more about Svalbard. I was in Ny-Ålesund for a month this summer and it's very strange seeing all the buildings again! I spent a lot of time in that gift shop (and also bought a ridiculously expensive christmas ornament 😂). Love your videos! I dont think anyone will truly understand the beauty of Svalbard until they see it for themselves

I hope they have something like this in Heaven because at my age, I don’t ever foresee being young enough or brave enough to venture to these places. ❤❤Thank you, Cecilia, so much, for giving us a look into these wondrous places. When you express, “look at this, isn’t it amazing?”, you express what I’m feeling every time! ❤❤ I love hearing the history of this place.

Your ship (whilst a little old …..as old as me!!!!) is charming and comfortable (even if the coffee makes you grimace!!!) haha!!!

I REALLY look forward to seeing what;and how you see each day! I’m in recovery from a major life event, and though I can’t hike yet- this gives me those reminders why I need to keep pushing myself, and not give up.(this is difficult) My father was a noted Yellowstone photographer, working often with Galen Rowell…. hiked endless delicious miles. Searching for those magic hour moments and being in practice of being in the moment. ***CECILIA***: thank you.

One of your best yet Ms Blomdahl ! Absolutely gorgeous the sea, the sky, the tiny little grey fox, the interesting history and the current use of the settlement. And so fascinating that it was the jumping off point for the Amundsen exploration to the North Pole, I had absolutely no idea that they travelled by airship, that seems quite scary, what must it have been like in wild stormy weather inside a huge inflatable tin can? Sending long distance hugs to you Christoffer and Grimm, from our side of this amazing planet to yours (Aotearoa) xx

You are a super tour guide and just when I think maybe the temperature is warmer than mid 30's, you flash the temp and I think she is made for this part of the world. 35 degrees is cold to us in the states, the plus no wind and lots of sun. Please do a video on the glaciers and what you two thought of the shrinking glaciers. Do you think that the media is scaring us or is it a real threat up there.
