PART 1: • SVALBARD Photo Adventu...
PART 2: • SVALBARD Photo Adventu...
I am on Svalbard for 10 days to photograph wildlife and landscapes. My plan is to get dropped off by boat on a small desolated island and stay there for a little less than a week to enjoy life with wild camping, wildlife photography and beautiful landscapes.
A huge thank you to Greendog Svalbard for helping me out on this adventure.

SVALBARD Photo Adventure part 2: • SVALBARD Photo Adventu...
I get a lot of rain and wind during the night, but in the morning it is clearing up, and I can go out to do some bird photography. Unfortunately I do not find the fox - not on the island at least!
A storm forces me to get a pick up before planned, and heavy rain and high winds forces me to stay indoor for 4 more days.
On the very last day though it get better, and I go to a small valley where I am really lucky to get some very nice photos..
In the next video I will talk about and demonstrate some of the safety equipment I brought in this photo adventure to Svalbard including flare gun, smoke grenade, rifle etc.

I feel like I'm on a trip every time I watch Morten's videos.
Isn't it simply stunning?! I did not want this to end. Such excellent story telling and the photos of the fox brought tears to my eyes.. Job well done, Morten.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much Michal - I really appreciate your nice compliment👍👍
@@MortenHilmer A true gift, your tone, the pace, the details, bts and thank you for welcoming us.
Ya thats very true even i feel so 🙂
Is here any teenager to watch his videos. I just love his videos since 3 to 4 months. I think his channel is perfect for me as a nature lover.
I can watch these again and again...such a pleasure.
This makes better sense then climbing Mount Everest.
your videos make peace to my heart
The artic fox is... I dont't have words to describe how beautiful is it!
Morten, thank you for the lovely series of your trip up to Svalbard. Your videos have inspired me to get out and about so much more. Been taking photos for over 50 years and been fortunate enough to travel many places, but in the last year or two, between you and Ben Horne TH-cam, I have gone back to some old routes and spending more and more time of just going out into nature with a simple tent, sleepy bag and essential gear and enjoying what God has given us in nature. The first two parts of this series, prodded me to get out of the RV for the long weekend and head out to Death Valley.Just me and the tent and gear and not particular schedule.Managed to revisited DV and find some new spots, got up early to catch the sunrise from Dante's View overlooking the salt ponds of Badwater, got the Sunset and colors of Artist Drive, had fun exploring Rhyolite, captured Darwin Falls and lots of hiking and shooting.Unlike you though, I did not have to make a choice between the solar charging and coffee since the batteries were all well charged and power at campground was available, so by my nature also, coffee was priority. So much so that I finally bought a Jet Boil to get it quicker, thought I still carry my gas similar to your for other ( a 20 year old MSR Whisperlite-still going strong BTW).I am still going through nearly 400 photos taken of some great landscape and a little wildlife (even manage to get close up of one of the Wild Burros found at in and around DV).I want to thank you for the inspiration to drag the 62 year old bones out more often and spread them out in a nice cozy sleeping bag under a little 3 man tent. Your videos have inspired me and I thank you for that.Best to you and yours
The 23 mins seemed like 3 mins, it's just so easy to get totally lost in the moment watching your videos, waiting for the next awesome video
🤩🙌 so beautiful awesome shots. Love it.
You inspire me🙏🏻 thank you
to me like hours but in a good way, of course :)
👍👍👍
I loved this series of Svalbard videos. Thanks for taking me on this adventure with you.
Thanks for putting together this three-part Svalbard series and sharing your adventure with us.
It was absolutely wonderful a moment of pure happiness for the eyes !!!
What a beautiful nature !!!! let s keep it!!!
Such a beautiful arctic fox!!!!!!!
Morten, your videos are fantastic, you have brought me a lot of peace and inspiration in this crazy time! Yesterday evening I made the best photograph I have taken in years! A pair of barn owls in flight, a rather rare, special moment. THANK YOU!
And what could be more satisfying than waking up next to my 600mm, love it. Top series.
Thanks for taking me along, Morton.
you must love your work very much, very beautiful what you do. Please keep uploading videos to see the wonders of the world
Ahh, the GREAT life!! Living 'er single and not having a care in the world except for what your aperture needs to be set at.. Awesome video!!
Morten I have watched all three Svalbard videos and they really are epic. Thank you for taking us on your adventure to such a beautiful wilderness, it is a real antidote to modern life!
I only can imagine what is like being the only human in a vast area, the peace that nature can offer for only a few lucky ones. Beautiful work.
What an inspiration. Thank you Morten. You finish by saying "see you out there", how I would love to see you out there, unfortunately probably not. However, I always feel I am thanks to the wonderful way you present.
Like Ive said before Mr. Hilmer, you are quite a remarkable gentleman. Keep up your amazing work and may it long inspire us to look after our planet
How does someone give a thumbs down to this footage. Its bloody fantastic stuff and has me hooked. Especially the camping and story of adventure. Well done Morten.
the end really moved me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing with us Morten.
😊😉
These expedition videos make me so happy
Morten, thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. It's been superb, wondering along with you and seeing the beautiful scenery and wildlife.
Your enthusiasm is totally infectious.
Morten, your enthusiasm, passion and happiness are infectious. Love these videos. Thanks 🙏
I always save your videos for the right moment to watch them so that nothing can distract me from the magic. Thank you so much for taking us all with you, you sir are one incredible man!
So great to see how he planned and made nature pictures . Was born in a small village and feel like home watching the videos . So endless great . Thank you very much Morten .
Wonderful. Nice and cosy. Glad you finally got to get some pictures of the little arctic fox. Beautiful.
Fabulous serie Morten. I’ve got tears in my eyes by seeing the photo’s of the Arctic Fox. So beautyful. I get emotionel.
Love the way you make the movies and vlog’s and take us on your trips. The landscapes are fantastic. Thank’s again.you are great.
Best whishes, Jan Vernes Netherlands.
What a video!!! We are your biggest fans. Leave the photography aspects apart, the visuals and the story is always grand. What a way to live our lives !!
You are a brave man. People usually choose easy subjects for photography, but not you. Greetings from Poland
from the Netherlands a big thumbs up for all your work. fantastic photography, magic videos, your craftsmanship and personality
Yeah... I could feel Svalbard ...what an incredible place and how fabulous to spent days in one of the most pristine location on earth. You are truly blessed. Amazing work and love the arctic fox images ... Thanks for sharing.
The videos are amazing and you are such an excellent story teller, but what strikes me the most is the respect you show for the place and the animals, an example.
Breathtaking! Amazing captures Morten.
Really enjoyed this series, thanks for sharing. Some stunning photos and videos, but that little Arctic Fox stole the show at the end, simply gorgeous!
Fantastic video with beautiful music. Well done again Morten! Thank you for taking us with you to these magnificent places.
Amazing trip. Thanks for sharing it!
their is something about the this Arctic Foxes that captivate me. I truly enjoy Morten`s Videos everything is perfect even the music.
What an inspiration,such good cheer in the morning. Love your videos wherever they are. Such different landscape and weather from Cape Town.
Another lovely adventure. Thanks for taking us along with you.
he is not only showin us wildlife but also teaching how to survive if we get lost on a lonely island lol
As always, stunning storytelling Morten, keep up the flow, you´re inspiring many people!! Hugs!!
Thank you so much for another nice compliment
This is kick arse stuff, as we say in New Zealand. It means no mucking around right into the real stuff. I like seeing to the full actuality of the experiences, cooking , ruugged weather, and the things we deal with all the time, batteries, ordinary set backs, and in Morten's case protection with weapons.
This was just pure awesomeness. Dang...I can't thank you enough. When the film ended, I was going to unpack and do laundry, only to realize that I wasn't "really" there haha!
Oh, and by the way TH-cam, giving us an option to only like a video once is an insult to such video!
Very great! Thanks a lot for taking us with you on your Wildlifejourney! 👌🏻👍🏻👋🏻😊
Don't be sorry for not blogging Morten. I'm personally very grateful for what you share and the vast amount of your time you put into sharing it with us. And I must say you're a stronger man than I. I would have had the coffee way before I opened the tent flap! :)
😉
You are an amazing wildlife photographer. The conditions that you endure are beyond most of us. Amazing. I enjoy watching your videos. Stay well!
Just out of the world again!!!simply awesome..
Rule 101- Every day starts best with a coffee! So happy you found your Arctic fox!
Soul Food for the day! Thanks Morten.
So great Morten. Especially this fox at the end really make one wonder how we humans treat animals so badly. Godt gået Morten.
Absolutely brilliant video/trilogy, beautiful scenery, 3 really enjoyable videos to watch. Morton, you are a Master of your race sir. Thank you for taking us along with you 👏👏👏👏👏
Great great wildlife video... and magnificent landscapes, well done Morten
I so enjoyed this series. Those arctic fox pics are everything! Beautiful work
Thanks for another great video. What I've learned from your videos is that there's never a guarantee to see anything when you're out, but when you do it is incredibly rewarding and 100x worth the sacrifice.
Very nice, Morten!
Your videos never cease to put a smile in my face. You really manage to take people with you on you're wonderful trips and journeys. Please never stop making such great videos.
Thank you Morten, that was great. I was so looking forward to part 3. That fox was amazing. Keep up the great work, i really appreciate it. Cheers
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
Great little life hack with the shoelaces!
This video is gold!! Your videos are such a joy to watch👍👍
I really love these type of laid-back videos. :) This is something that I'm planning to do more of in the coming year. Take more breaks from work and get back outside to nature for a while. It really is a fantastic experience. :)
Your work is like a national geographic. I love it,
A truly fantastic mini series, thank you for sharing Morten!
What an excellent way to wrap up your trip. Wonderful fox photos.
Yet another masterpiece. Thanks Morten.
What an amazing video and awesome capture of this adorably sweet artic fox! Great as always and can’t wait to see more! Take care and be safe!
You and ur work is amazing...
I feel I'm with you everytime ...
That’s a breathtaking place and the way you transmitted the atmosphere is mind blowing. Thanks for that great work !
Wow very good i liked very beutiful
Waiting for this video from last week and finally arrived
You are truly amazing. Your photo, video, and background music selections are just right. With a deft hand, you tell moving stories with your videos.
The photos and videos at the end of this video of the Arctic fox were much more appreciated than if you tried to vlog and accidentally loose the opportunity. These photos and videos are things almost none of us would ever be able to do in real life. Thank you for documenting them all for the amazing second hand experiment.
No words to describe your hardwork. I like photography but l did not know that it has got so much hardwork behind. Thank you so much!
very nice trip and im so glad you found the arctic fox,a very special moment in need
Well that certainly brighten my day. Thanks for sharing.
Morten your videos are like going to the movies. They are excellent!!
What an incredible trip. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Don't ever apologise for setting us to one side to focus on your photography and your animal subjects. We all know they come first and we love, love, love your videos and work for it. Another stunning video. Many thanks for taking us with you and all the faffing about with camera angles in the cold.
I am not really sure why I waited to like the video until I watched it!
I quite literally aspire to follow in Mortens footsteps. Such an absolutely inspirational photographer and person overall. I will go on one of these trips of my own some day with my little G9.
Awesome as usual Morten. I really liked the seclusion of this place. It's like watching a mini movie.
Thanks for sharing Morten absolutely wonderful stuff!! I was totally spellbound.
Beautiful series of vlogs from Svalbard 🙂🙂🙂
many many thanks Mr. Hilmer 🙏✨
There is something about your photographic study of a lone animal that brings into perfect focus its special majesty, fine beauty and deeply valuable existence. The fox was the icing on the cake, but all of it, each precious animal, the time-formed landscape, the elements constantly in motion, the subtle colours, the intense atmosphere and the suspense makes the watching of your films a very special experience. Thanks Morten.
watched all 3 now. stunning. thanks for share.
What a great conclusion to this adventure we were lucky enough to share!!🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧
Once again, an excellent production: outstanding scenery, camera work, and music! Watched all 3 'episodes' and was captivated by the barren beauty of the island. You have a way of 'bringing us along with you' in your work! Most of us will never have the chance to see what you've seen, excpet through your videos. Thanks!
So kind of you to write and tell me 👍👍👍
always, you always get to surprise and makes me emotional video after video, creation after creation, what a simple, natural humble man with the nature..."see you out there"
Awesome video Morten - this little series from Svalbard has been fantastic! It looks like a truly magical wild place 😀
Epic! Just flat out epic! Thanks Morten!
Really enjoyed watching this set of videos glad you got to see the arctic fox. looking forward to your next adventure
Grazie per questo vlog! Spetacolare!
I know how much work these are. Your videos are by far some of the best, if not the best. Your photography is excellent as well. Looking forward to the next one! Thank you
Super series Morten. Thanks
You are so welcome 👍
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Bravo. What an amazing series, Morten! You are truly inspiring. And I'm so glad you were able to find the Fox, the pictures are both amazing and adorable 😁
