PART 1: • SVALBARD Photo Adventu...
PART 3: • 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.

SVALBARD Photo Adventure part 3: • SVALBARD Photo Adventu...
It has been snowing during the night but as I wake up, the snow is slowly melting and gets washed away by the heavy rain. I am forced to stay in the tent and I am struggling to get any power from my solar panel because of the heavy clouds.
Luckily the rain stops and a great opportunity arise when I spot a lonely reindeer on my hike!
SVALBARD photo adventure - part 3 is coming on Sunday October 13.

The feeling you transport with this videos is just amazing. I feel so calm and peaceful. You help to forget about all the crap thats happening out there and just value all the beauty in the world.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
Malte Paulsen nature, together with love are the best two things in life.
Thats exactly what ive thought!
These are really nice words Malte - what an awesome compliment. I am so glad to have you here on the channel. All the best from Denmark.
I make your words mine. Sensational.
I found the words : the way you speak, the way look at the camera, things you that you show in the video and the way of your explains while exiting your self, left me speechless and want me stop watching :) .
I know this is 3 years later but just found your channel and these films are elevated far beyond what I'd expect from youtube. Truly stunning.
I sat down with my coffee for another wonderful instalment, thank you Morten for your passion, enthusiasm and respect for the animals you photograph, it is much appreciated ...Chris 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧
My son is a cinemaphotographer and he has an hole crew with him when he make movies, and you do this al alone. And still create such a fealing that we can almost feel that we are on this island with you and explore this beatiful place. This inspire me so much to go out and explore in the same spirit. A big Thank you for sharing from me in Sweden.
Hi Helena and thank you for this very nice and encouraging compliment 😊 it is very nice of you. I'm so glad I can inspire you - that is my main goal with these videos 😊😊
when that raindeer staring at you.. i feel something.. i feel peace
The lone reindeer seems to value your company. The weather can be kind or cruel but your story is seem-less and I am enjoying every second of this beautiful world you bring to us, thank you so much.
I think the feeling of being absolutely alone and having a trusting interaction with a wild animal is almost spiritual. I have had quite a few and to me there is nothing better. It is sad that most people will never have the chance to really slow down or be in a place for that to happen. It is the number one reason I love photography so much. It puts me in those places. Thanks for sharing.
Now imagine having a relationship with your Creator God Almighty. His presence is so much Joy your Soul rejoices exceedingly. Mark 1:15. John 14:6.
Man, I wish I could live my life like this!! Just traveling and taking photos!! It's great!!
A barren, bleak and yet strangely beautiful part of the world. Nice work Morten.
I just can’t imagine how much effort you are putting in here. Taking video and photographs at the same time is a hell of work but you are bringing the results so amazing that every person who watches it brings a smile to the face. It’s beautiful and always inspiring..thank you. Regards Yeshi from Bhutan 🇧🇹..
👍👍👍👍
Excellent
I was thinking about the same thing. The amount of effort is beyond many people's imagination. Nothing but respect.
I know ditto is a bit overused but you've expressed my feelings so well. Much respect to Morton!
I sat down with a cup of tea (sorry, Morten) during a break in renovations at my house - thought I'd finish watching Svalbard Part 1, but then went straight to Svalbard Part 2!!
The wife will be a bit miffed that I've not got more done, but then who needs doors that fit?
Absolutely awesome, Morten!
I must confess that, in addition to being a great fan of your work as a professional photographer, you are also an inspiration to me since I am a 16-year-old student in a Photography APR and I am currently very passionate. I bothered to translate the text too. Thank you! And greetings from Mexico.
So nice to hear. Being and inspiration to young photographers is one of the greatest compliment for me:)
Amazing video and pictures 👍🏽👍🏽
And again and again fantastic! It's so good to see the wildlife that lives there. I'm very very happy! Thank you Hilmer, Thank you! ✌😊
200k subs, for no reason i fell happy for your channel development! (your video was awesome as always)
Thanks Morten for another amazing video! Can't wait for the next episode.
Simply wonderful! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Morten.
How beautiful! Such a peaceful place! Thankyou for sharing!
Thank you, for I understood that you can vive with little in nothing, appreciating only what nature wants to give us, thank you from the heart
Magnificent pictures of this reindeer. How wonderful (s)he was at peace with you there.I hope you can get those antlers back home. Its a special gift for you. Thank you!
Breath taking only begins to describe your films. Thank you
What an amazing Adventure, so pleased you shared it with us can,t wait to see more of your work.
this kind of simplicity and solitude is as close to God as it gets for me...Wonderfully done!
I have just come back from spending three weeks in Svalbard and Greenland fiord system not forgetting four days in Iceland and your video parts 1 & 2 have made the trip flood back. Thank you!
that video is therapy
It's so sweet how you and the deer are mutually curious about each other :) Lovely video as always, and very inspirational.
Yes I think we were both quite curious:) Maybe he didn't see anyone for a long time.
This really is next level wildlife photography Morten, I don't think there are many of us that would ever do what you're doing so thanks for taking us on the journey and thanks for putting so much effort into the production, you set the standard and you raise the bar time and time again, this just isn't a youtube video, this is cinematic experience. see you n part 3
Absolutely stunning! Great video.
This encounter with the reindeer was absolutely fantastic. There is nothing more to say.
Yes agree, and hopefully you had the little rubber piece on the D850's bottom. Amazing what that little $7 rubber piece can do for weather proofing the camera and I always remember to replace it when removing the vertical grip. More cameras have failed and have been completely ruined by forgetting that little rubber piece, Nikon will usually not even fix a camera with water damage, so they are a complete loss. *Always remember to replace the rubber that cover's the contacts for the vertical grip!*
Thank you for showing us the beauty of life, so inspirational!
Nice light ,nice job,amazing nature ...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Morten, is my all time favorite TH-camr! His videos always bring me to some greater understanding in life and peace. Reminds me of what I'd love to accomplish in the world! The arctic is something that needs to be photographed rn!!
Outside,hilmer,,coffee....life is good!!
Amazing Morten, you show how beautiful our planet is. Can't wait until next episode.
morten hilmer, You're my idol. Thanks for all your videos.
Another work of art, ending with some great transitions. Thank you for the escape.
The zen of vlogging. Calm serenity. Love it.
What a joy it gives me to know that this man, apart from experiencing and enjoying nature, can show us and teach us what he is like. Thank you for sharing your experiments with us, we enjoy it. Greetings Morten Hilmer
Hi Morton, I just wanted to thank you for your amazing work... You are an amazing human being.
Always after watching every your movie I think the next one cannot be better. But I am always wrong. Your videos are so brilliant, beautiful and on the top level. I can imagine the amount of hard work before, during and after filming. But I know that You enjoy it and I absolutely understand it. Thank You Morten for sharing that with us. I cannot hardly wait the next part. Good luck and good light for photography and your solar panel!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Absolutely AMAZING.
I'm so happy to see this today. I wanted to watch yesterday, but I was too busy to sit down and really appreciate it. What an amazing moment that must have been - just two creatures in nature together. 😊 I can't describe how I feel when that happens, but yeah... it's really something. 😊 And, my God, Svalbard is utterly beautiful.
Wonderful video, Morten - as always.
It is incredible when you can get that close to a wild animal, closer than their or sometimes your comfort zone would normally allow, and somehow you both know that neither means harm to the other. It's happened to me several times in my life and its an amazing feeling that stays with you. I really think you have moved your videos to the next level lately Morten! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!
The scene behind you at 17:10 worth the journey alone. A good tip for photographers out there to always look around. Sometimes, many times, the real treasure can lie outside of our focal zone.
The reindeer and you. Stuck on a lonely island. I quite like that. Great video! Inspiring.
So much courage! Beautiful scenery, music, story, reindeer. Bruce Percy (landscape photographer) would have a hey day in that setting.
0:42 seems like the vintage lenses you've got recently are having a great second life! ;-)
Charming landscapes and atmosphere, the eyes of the reindeer are just incredible. Thank you!
Thank you Morten for sharing! Beautiful place and very nice captures. I smiled too when the reindeer "looks up and doesn't care" during eating. Now (after part2) I could manage to find the island and the camp location...
Just fantastic, no other words! Thank you Morten.
Thanks for sharing the day's outing, those images of the deer are lovely.
I am so exited once again to watch this video! The last one was so well done and I am so thrilled to be able to see this next one! Thank you for everything you do Morten! Your videos are so entertaining and truly truly incredible!
Tony
Is really amazing video And excellent photos congratulations 👌
Wow! What a majestic animal!!! Beautiful and amazing video!! Loved it
Well.. those clouds hanging around the mountains make the scenery nothing short of incredible.
Absolute freedom. So beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely breathtaking. All of it.
I'm not going to lie, this episode got me somewhat emotional. So much beauty, and peace, things that are so hard to come by these days...
Thank you.
Morten I have to tell you, your storytelling in these videos are next level! Like, you're a full-on documentary filmmaker aswell, nojoke!
The amount of details you choose to show us and you even let us see through your eyes!
I'm just super grateful to have found this channel. Thank you for your service Mr Hilmer!
This is "Hardcore" photography experience. WOW
Yes, I really wish I had an opportunity to photograph some of the amazing landscapes and animals I saw while in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan. I was stationed at Firebase Lilley, about 4 miles from the Pakistani border at an elevation of about 8,500 ft/3800 meters. However it was an extremely dangerous place and I was forced to always have my rifle ready instead. Some of the greatest photographs in life, are the ones you don't or can't take! Instead you take a visual photograph in your mind and when I remember Afghanistan, I try to remember it's beauty. Sometimes harder said than done, because I saw a lot of ugliness there as well, but it was as beautiful as this island in the video. Great job, your video's are always getting better and I enjoy them so much.
Awesome work, man. Congrats!
These last two episodes have been your best ever. The music and storytelling is incredible 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for sharing your work and the music that you chose with your videos bring tears to my eyes I know that I am seeing some thing that I will never see in person it is ethereal thank you again
Wow. Amazing. Your videos prove that patience is rewarded with incredible emotional wildlife moments.
The serene atmosphere in this video moved me a lot. Both background music selection and scenes you filmed make me peace. Thanks for your hard work.
And presume me to ask may I have your permission to reproduce your videos to the BiliBili? The most popular video website among young people in China, which kinda like the Chinese version of TH-cam. I think your videos worth to be known in China. No one on earth doesn't like the peace conveyed from your videos.
I watched the part 1 last night before going to bed, and now just finished watching the part 2 sir Morten, and we're very happy. I felt your love in the wildlife adventures.
Amazing! breath taking landscape!
Thx you so much to share your great works! Wish you always good luck!
Such a beautiful place, the silence and peace must be awesome while being there. It's obvious you enjoy it Morten, your face is clearly showing it.
Hi Morten - you capture the nature of wildlife encounters in Svalbard beautifully. Ephemeral, often brief, punctuated by...interesting weather - but always inspiring. Fortunately for ship-based tourism we have firm rules of taking absolutely nothing found in nature (as well as leaving nothing behind, of course), and I have to admit I was hoping you would say that you ended up leaving the antlers behind. With you it's just one person rather than a hundred, but you're still an example to the many people watching your excellent videos.
So much passion and effort put into these videos Morten. Thank you for sharing the remote beauty of Svalbard!
Wow!!! Part 2 is just amazing👍👍
This is better than therapy....thank you.
The scenery there is completely surreal, and incredible reindeer encounter, amazing vid!
The best youtuber and by far my biggest inspiration, keep up the amazing work Morten
Hello Morten! I'm from Mexico and I've been watching your videos and I can say you are an artist. I'm an amateur photographer, I'm 19 and and I don't have resources as you, but I know that's not the most important to be an artist as you, that only brings more oportunities but the most important thing is to have a trained eyes to take amazings photos as you do. You are an inspiration for me.
This video made me feel so much that I imagined myself in paradise, knowing that soon the animals and humanity will be in their best condition and that the earth as a home will be restored by Jehovah, it really made me cry of emotion. Thank you for this beautiful video.
God really is an artist, isn't He? Incredible.
No Jehovah's Witness shall enter the kingdom of heaven... Repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ
Hey Rafael, if you'd like to, I'd love to have a conversation with you about God! Are you interested?
@@andreambuter6806 always open to talk about God. In what god do you believe?
Hi Morten
Just watched the rest of the video
Beautiful, amazing, fantastic.
I have watched all your videos at least once and they are an inspiration as I tramp the wilds of my native Northumberland and my favourite far north west of Scotland.
Struggling now I am 72 how I wish I was 40 years younger!!!!!
Antlers fit you well,I hope you got them home ok
Kind regards
Thanks a lot John. Yes I guess the age can give a few limitations, but still it really sounds like you are having an awesome time. Thanks a lot for your compliment:)
Just watched part two, The mix of music and the scenery was truly amazing. We need more of your love and respect towards nature!
Keep up the wonderful work!
👍👍
Thanks Morten. Just absolutely beautiful. Such an amazing place it must be. Such a different environment to mine here on the east coast of Australia. Never gets below 2.c (dawn temp) in the middle of winter. It's coming into spring now and yesterday was 35.c here on the coast. Love your work and I know how exciting it is to have those great wildlife moments. I'm just an amateur photographer but love photographing birdlife and wildlife and landscapes. You're very inspiring!
This is just amazing. I love the way you take us right into this freezing foreign world. And your photographs are awesome.
Fantastic adventure, looking forward to part 3. Thank you for transporting me to place I could never imagine going to, but felt I was there.
Great video series, so absorbing to watch 👍
A ver, se que probablemente esto jamás lo leeras, o no lo entenderas ya que esta en español, pero gracias a ti y a estos contenidos tan magníficos me has dado una razon por la cual seguir pensando que el mundo es mas que hermoso, asi que gracias por mostrarnos el lado tan oculto y hermoso de lo salvaje
what a wonderful camping and photograph life!!! feeling really fresh with your video. thank u sir.
Brilliant!! And the third looks amazing! Thanks for sharing :-)
Another beautiful video Morten, thank you again for sharing this amazing wilderness with us :)
Man, the amount of work you put on these adventures and videos is simply insane. Thanks for your effort and for sharing this beauty with us!
Fantastic to see what you are doing there Morten. I have experienced being alone in the wild a little, but nothing as remote as you are or are dealing with. It certainly helps you to connect with nature and use your powers of observation photographically. Keep it up, and look forward to more from you.
I have been waiting for part two, coffee in hand....and relax :)
Fantastic. Enjoyed both parts, so far. Can't wait for part three!
great stuff Morten, can't wait to see the fox in part III
Love your wildlife videos, makes me feel calm, just like when im out myself doing bird photograpy
While the reindeer was looking at you, you were watching him with a love of all things in Nature. That is what makes your work so special, Morten.
What a fantastic setting! I'm enjoying each video 3-4 times so far.
Thank you for sharing all of this with us!!
I just made a cup of tea, so perfect timing :) What an amazing encounter you with the reindeer. These Svalbard reindeer look so beautiful. Maybe he was happy to finally have some company.
I'm slightly jealous of the antlers you found ;). I hope you were able to take them home. Really enjoyed every minute of this video and thank you for sharing your adventure. Can't wait for part 3!
It's wonderful to watch you video just after waking up . Mind becomes peaceful. Thank you .
A majestic animal part of a majestic landscape. Such a feeling of calmness in such a huge area Morten. Thank you brother! Doug 🇨🇦
Your attention to detail makes it feel like you have a whole team of videographers covering your every shot. Everything about this is wonderful.
Hello Morten! This was stunning to watch, you'r work is incredible!!
This is far better than anything TV has to offer these days. From one photographer to another, thank you for your efforts in making this. Feels like the viewer is right there with you. Wishing you all the best and continued success in the future.
Jeeezzzz what an adventure Morten😍 alone on an Island with a reindeer - STRAIGHT out of a Disney movie haha♥️
🤯I'm at a loss for words. Amazing. Felt like I was there with you. Thank you very much for sharing!!
