- We stayed overnight in one of the most spectacular cabins on Svalbard, maybe even the world!? Check out the Nordenskiöld Lodge here ➡️ www.basecampexplorer.com/sval...
I have wanted to visit this lodge for EIGHT years so my expectations were high... Imagine living and working hours away from civilisation, in an off grid cabin, for weeks at a time 😍🏠 Join us on this unforgettable experience at the foot of the massive Nordenskiöld glacier, where you wake up to the glacier rumbling and beluga whales right outside your door. I hope you enjoy this video and thank you so much for being here! 🫶🏻✨

I don't see a thing wrong with Christoffer checking on Grim four time's in one day!😂❤
Especially how heartbroken both of you…would be if something happened to him…and you crushed more than Christoffer❤️
Only 4❤❤
Me either... completely acceptable dog dad things 🤷🏼♀️😆
What a breathtaking place! Thank you for taking us along. ❤
Well that was over too soon ! Thank you for taking us with you guys. Xx
I am old and so grateful to you and Christopher for sharing the beauty of Svalbard. This video brought tears to my eyes. The glacier, the whales, the water was simply overwhelming beauty and overwhelming me. I am blessed to see such things even in video which feels close up. God bless you both. This channel means a great deal to me.
@@JustbeoktodayI understand what you're trying to do but it's not that easy... You have any idea how expensive a trip like this would be? If this person has mobility problems, there are going to be a whole lot of hurdles that need to be overcome in order to even get to this island. Yes, we are only as old as we allow ourselves to be but to tell someone to get up and get dressed and go to Svalbard is a little over the top. They aren't going to the corner store- they're going to an extremely remote island in the middle of nowhere.
@@missychan63Yeah, getting in and out of that dingy would definitely be a challenge!
@@Justbeoktodaywell I think people need more than just time to travel. Start with money and health
@@Justbeoktoday this isn't necessarily appropriate. It can make someone feel bad if they can't make a trip like this because of finances or health.
I agree, I feel blessed to be able to experience this through video, even though health prevents me from doing it in real life. Cecelia captures the beauty of nature so we’ll and her enthusiasm is pure and contagious! 💙
I watch a lot of videos on TH-cam and never comment. I have to say that watching your videos on Sunday, the music over the beautiful scenes, having my cup of coffee, is one of my favorite little parts of the week. You're an artist and a great storyteller!
I would love to know the name and artist of the song.
@@sheilalong3605, Kylie Dailey - The Harbor
@@RufanaDenmark Thank you!
The cinematography and editing keep getting better with every vid. It's SUCH a treat to see aspects of life on Svalbard in beautiful detail. Love!
The polar bear threat "ruins" every single natural beauty of this place live exploration, and it makes me feel bad about the people who really went there
They way Cecilia sounded extremely touched and sort of melancholic all the way throughout the video, makes it really feel how magnificent it must be out there. Absolutely beautiful
Minus the polar bears😊
Because of you two my interest in Svalbard sprouted. I'm Australian and have just moved to Slovenia. I'm closer now to all the wonderful adventures that call me. 70 years old and a bit challenged physically. I will do what I can do. Definitely hope to spend time in this cabin.
So cool, that this lady from Slovenia is in Svalbard. Makes me really happy to see people from my country in your video☺️❤️
It is so nice that Christopher got his own talk space this time.Please lets have more of him talking😂🎉..
Regular chatterbox that guy☺️
I agree. Love Cecelia's energy, but I feel like it is overpowering at times. I'd like to hear more of Christopher was well.
If you haven't seen the OUTDOOR camping video, you should catch it. Christoffer does a good bit of talking in that one. Talks about the dehydrated food they take, the little emergency stove they keep in the snow machines etc. He was absolutely chatty.. lol
Wow! 😮 Absolutely spectacular! You are definitely living your best life! We are living vicariously through you! Thanks for sharing!
Best morning ever with Cecelia!
Christopher calling to check on grim 4 times made me giggle! 🤣🤣 Such an incredible video! Thank you for sharing!
Cecilia is such an amazing filmmaker. She always captures the beauty of her surroundings. And Christoffer is such a G! I love that guy!
Just to know that places like this still exist in the world brings me joy. Your drone shots are beautiful!!
You do the most fascinating things Cecilia and Christoffer. Thank you for taking us along and teaching us some incredible stuff about this area you visited. The cabin is gorgeous as well as the glacier’s.
Have a good week! ❤
BEST JOB INTERVIEW I'VE EVER SEEN. WHEN DO YOU START ?
(or will you open a b&b ?)
5:36 I had to watch this a dozen times. Something about the look on the dog's face right before booping the camera, Cecilia saying "oh wooow" followed by the laughter and just letting a dog be a dog is a heartwarming scene. ❤
So great to hear Christoffer and see him on the video!! He's a natural!! Superstar!!
Isn’t this planet just so very beautiful , and the wildlife that just effortlessly adapt along . I have such respect for all !! 🦋🌿☀️❄️
Like you said unreal and mesmerizing(ly and breathtakingly beautiful!!). Watching you guys like ants on that massive glacier (on the drone view) - it makes it real how insignificant we really are in comparison to nature! Love it!! Just the sound, sight and smell of nature ( apart from the yummilicious looking meals and Tintin and the folks that provide such an awesome retreat)!! -Thankyou so much for sharing!
That would be an absolute "DREAM VACATION", ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW😳😲😯😲 Waking up having morning coffee watching about 20+ Beluga Whale's 😳😁😁😁😁😁👍❤️ amazing!
Oh, what a little slice of Heaven ! ❤❤ Thank you, Cecilia and Christopher for taking us with you on the wonderful adventure!!! The glaciers are amazing 🤩!! And to see the whales! Love it!!❤❤
What a cute cabin! It’s kind of like hostel meets bed & breakfast + gorgeous scenery! Walking on a glacier would definitely be a lifetime experience for anyone. Thanks for bringing us along!❤️❤️
And it's great how the cabin blends, almost disappears, into the scenery. Very difficult to spot from more than a few hundred meters away. No garish colors.
You have the most beautiful videos, and the background always amazes me. It's funny how Christopher said he has "dropped" by there a few times for coffee or a BBQ like its just down the street or something and you don't have to take like 3 different boats and risk your life to get there, lol.😂😅
Love the Beluga's-when we lived in remote Alaska and had our own plane and I was 8 months pregnant in the month of July-hubby took me up and to our surprise there were over 400 Beluga's feeding and we flew around and marveled at the sight-they are amazing.!
Glorious! Thank you for taking us along. Christoffer is such a sweetie. Too bad Grim couldn’t come along and meet Tintin.💖
I can never get enough all the things you both get up to in your daily lives I find it so interesting. There can't be many places where you can have your morning coffee and watch Beluga whales........amazing. Thank you to you and Christoffer for taking us along with you x
Your documentary is nothing short of spectacular!❤ You and Christoffer are true professionals!
Thank you Cecilia and Christopher for making this video. It's been one of my favorite. Your videos are in general so relaxing. They are my go-to when I want to relax and clear my mind. Your breathtaking images with the drone, your music choice and your editing skills are tremendous. Keep up the great work!
I love the bit with Christoffer running his own TH-cam channel at 2am in the morning! 😂😂😂 You were a natural! And my anxiety levels were sky high when Cecelia decided to take photos, even though Grim the sofa princess was on lookout. You know the part in the horror movie when the victim is looking into the distance through their binoculars, and when they lower them, the killer is right in front of them? Yeah. 😂😂😂
Gorgeous scenery, Cecilia! The colour contrasts and crevasses are amazing. Christoffer talking to the camera without cooking was an added bonus 😅
I love that you live surrounded by all that beauty, but that it never gets old to you. You and Christoffer are always so appreciative of living where you do and so welcoming that we feel like visiting friends each week. ❤❤
The creaking of wood floors brought me back to my childhood...
I could watch the Belugas for hours. Mesmerizing.
Fabulous--The drone shots were spectacular! As always, thank you for sharing your magical trip with us.
It still amazes me just how breathtaking the views are there. It seems like every we're you guys go. There is breathtaking beauty.
I have this image that everyone moves to Svalbard and the Earth tips off it's axis due to weight of everyone there. This is the perfect place for me. You can keep the Caribbean. This place is utter Science with a capital S.
This place is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this video. Shame Grim couldn't be with you.
❄️Stunning, and breathtaking video, Cecilia and Christoffer! Thank you for sharing this amaaing glacier trip with us. I'm a Northerner from Minnesota USA living in the warm South, your videos have helped me make the decision to move back home so I can go ice fishing, ski and be in the land of snow, cold, and Minnesota Nice as we are called. Hugs to Grim❤️
I live in the desert and these videos have opened my eyes to life in the north. I've been considering moving up to MN, WI, or MI.
I am gobsmacked! 🤩 I thought seeing glaciers in Alaska was spectacular! This is a whole other level!
I love watching your channel every week. To live out in ALL the beauty you get to enjoy everyday is such a blessing! I find myself tearing 😢 up at just how BEAUTIFUL it is there. Especially the glaciers and when you show all the whale pods. You and Kris are living a life I could only dream about. Thank you so much for sharing Nature's Beauty with us every week! Snuggles to Grim, please😊. ❤you all!
OMG when the retired sled dog barked at 23:12 I lost it!! So funny!
Cecilia watching your videos makes me regret not doing things like this when I was younger. But thankfully I get to experience them through your spectacular videos. But here's the thing, I never knew I wanted to experience these things until I discovered you on TH-cam. Please keep posting I absolutely love them. ❤️
It IS good to start traveling young, but, you can do it when you get older. Too much work until 71, at 70, after my husband survived 5 needed major surgeries in 3 years, and i survived three recent, one 3+ hours for cancer, i said, we have a chance and may never have another chance. We sold our hone, live on our social security and my husband's small pension monthly. Traveled all over. We made it to Nordkapp this year. I am in love with Norway and Scotland. Both are different but connected. Wonderful people, stunning nature surrounds you. Never give up. Take a chance. Cecelia inspires me more every video.
I was wondering where Grim was, so good on Kristoffer for checking on him. What a remarkable adventure. I loved the different blue colors in the glacier. Thank you so much for taking us along. Leigh, Texas
Cecelia and Christoffer, what a beautiful vlog! The cabin looks like a fantastic place to relax and enjoy nature at its finest. The drone footage is amazing and the pod of beluga whales so relaxing to watch. ❤
Dear Cecilia, you and Christoffer are wonderful people, I would like you as neighbors. I didn't think that Nordenskiöld Lodge was so beautiful and interesting as an experience, I want to spend a few days in that location and I thank you for letting me discover it
I love that Christoffer now works with you on your channel. He is entertaining and informed, I really enjoy what you both work so hard to bring to us every week. Thank You.
Oh my gosh, that was absolutely magical. I feel like I just had a mental and spiritual vacation. Thank you so much for taking us with you and letting us share in this amazing experience!
Wow thank you for sharing the amazing beauty of the glaciers! And the beluga whales . I love watching your journey in life I disabled so I truly appreciate your videos keep them coming Jill
I have to say your musical choices are so well matched to the mood of the videos themselves; you are a very talented person 😊, Cecelia.
Christopher is truly something special ❤so Happy seeing him become less and less shy each video he is in😊 i am so happy y'all got to go spemd 24 hours in that stunning cabin ❤❤ such a beautiful sight and its possible for all of us thanks to you ❤ 🙏
I love Grim but also this sweet doggo. ❤
That glacier walk was terrifying! 😮
I live vicariously through you, Cecilia ❤ your drone shots are spectacular too! You can't imagine how much I appreciate you taking us on your adventures.
What an incredible and amazing place! A once in a lifetime adventure for millions of us! Thank you for taking us along ❤
What is incredible thrill to be able to stay at this cabin, completely surrounded by majestic mountains, glaciers, fjords, Wells, and wildlife all around ❤. Wow! The cabin looks incredibly cozy and simply beautiful.
Cecilia, your photography, directing, and editing are top notch. The audio is often fantastic, like in this video. Well done! 👏👏
This was incredible. I would love the opportunity to hike on a glacier. What a beautiful cabin. I love how Christopher checked on Grim 4 times. You love your puppy so much❤. Thank you for sharing your experience.
What an amazing experience! It's so beautiful. Thank you for another delightful Sunday morning video, Cecilia!
The beauty of the belugas about broke my heart.
Coming from Norway I'm very grateful I've experienced many glacier walks. It's something special, and the sound of the ice is so unique.
One of my favourite parts of a Sunday, can't wait to watch 🤍
What a stunning landscape and the cabin looks amazing! Really surreal! 😍
You know, Dutch people often say that Dutch people are everywhere. 18:03 confirms that once again. At one of the most remote places in the world! 🤣
The Longyearbyen jeweler is Dutch, Cecilia has an older video doing an interview with her
@@UnshavenStatue I saw it earlier this week. How cool!
Ha, ha. Slovenian people are everywhere. You can find a Slovenian in every part of the world. Like Hana here. Hello from Slovenia!
I am Dutch as well, but I did not notice Rogier was Dutch before he introduced himself and said his name! Usually we have pretty strong accents when speaking English, or we just sound like Americans, but I think Rogier also speaks Norwegian fluently or something because his accent was nowhere near Dutch. So cool. His food looked very high quality as well! I get what he was trying to say, going into town, you miss the peace and quiet of the cabin area. So beautiful. I'm sure so many people would want to visit it now, yet so few will have the chance to.
Absolutely unbelievable. Beauty everywhere you look. ❤
Such stunning scenery! Your comment at 9:25 about the crevasses made me laugh because it reminded me of when I visited Canyonlands National Park in Utah (USA) a few weeks ago -- we were listening to a presentation by a park ranger and before she began, she said "a quick note about safety, you've probably noticed that right over here is a sheer cliff that drops down hundreds of feet to the canyon below us so... don't fall down there!" I laughed, but no one else did 😅 Straight and to the point!
Always been fascinated by the arctic. It's more magical to me than any other place.
This was such a wonderful video. I actually speechless. I feel that if I try to put my feelings into words I will simply cry. Your talent at videography the photography, the music, and the magic of this place is proof of the divine. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Christoffer reminds me of Santa Claus. Such a sweet disposition.
I think that you are having such a wonderful and unique experience in this remote cabine and you are really lucky to have it. The Svalbards offer a fantastic scenery, then the glacier walking!! It is perhaps one of the most beautiful, at least for those, like me, who love the Northermost places, on earth. Excellent video. Thank you
Magnificent!!!!
Perfect location of building away from activity yet close enough.
I do hope little change there in next five to ten years.
You must return to video❤
I understand his heart pulling having to leave after each season.
It was wonderful listening to Christoffer experience there. Should share more.
Your videos are like visiting a good friend every week. I just love them! Hugs to Grim!
Hello Cecilia. It was truly amazing to witness the beauty of the Nordenskiöld glacier. I felt very emotional watching this video. How wonderful for you to finally (!) visit and bring us all along for the journey. The wonder and joy you exude at all this beauty is infectious. Tack 🌼 🇨🇦
Wauw Cecilia& Christoffer what an spectacular place to visit 😮🤩 the views are beyond Breathtaking ❤
I can see you spending longer there Cecilia photographing the Glaciers enjoying the peace ,wildlife
Absolutely gorgeous what an experience & Gorgeous tintin .
Thank you so much for taking us a long have a Good week 🥰
Thank you for all your hard work in bringing these stunning and breathtaking views to us. You both bring such joy.❤
Wow. That cabin looks pretty modern.
This is such a great channel. I’ve been here a year and it offers exclusive content you can’t get elsewhere. Blessed and thankful.
Glorious and wonderful! This is now a lovely new adventure to put in my dreams. 🙏🏻🔥 How does it feel to touch the sky and drink that pure ice from heaven? ❤️ I’m glad you got to share Christopher’s experience to this remote lodge… finally. 💕I am enjoying your journey ‘almost’ as much as traveling myself… your lens on life is beautiful. Thank you. See you again soon.
Υπέροχο βίντεο !Ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ Cecilia &Christopher που μας ταξιδέψατε στον παγετώνα και σε αυτό το ήρεμο και εντυπωσιακό τοπίο ! 🤗😊Από Ελλάδα (Χαλκιδική )❤️😘
Thanks to you I get to see the most surreal beauty I will never get to. The peace and solitude must be awesome in such pristine, mesmerizing surroundings. It is an amazing life you and Cristoffer lead.
Thank you dear Cecilia for making my late sleep-in Sundays a joy to wake up to! It’s all just so gorgeous!
This is like a “david attenborough” documentary, so beautiful! Many thanks for your hard work Cecilia and Christoffer in sharing this! 😊
Hi there Cecilia and Christopher - What an amazing place. Thank you both so much for bringing us along. Stay safe and healthy and keep brining us amazing videos 💟
That was an incredible adventure, and thank you for sharing it with us!
It costs over 6000 a person 😮. That is a lot. You were lucky to have the opportunity. You deserve the experience. ❤ Also, I would check on my dogs four times a day too. 😊 Lastly, your skill set with your drone is impressive.
0:40 looks exactly like my late beloved dog of 13 years! ❤
What a dreamy place! So glad you got to go and document it for the world to see! Hi Grim; Love at that pup!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us. It is so magic to see the pristine environment protected and respected, with it’s happy animals and considerate humans. I live in Australia and unfortunately we are not doing a very good job here. The world has a lot to learn from Svalbard!
Christoffer is looking well and so happy these days. 😊
I'll never get tired of seeing these beautiful views of your adventures
Love watching all your videos. This one was especially beautiful, the drone footage of all of you walking on the glacier was especially breathtaking. How blessed you all are to be able to experience Gods creation. I live vicariously thru your videos since I probably will never be able to visit Svalbard., so thank you for sharing you journey. PS I love how much more comfortable Christoffer is in front of the camera. ❤❤
I already commented, but I am in such awe of your incredible adventure, and had to tell you how completely mesmerized I was by this mystical world! My favorite video so far-and that is saying a lot! All I can think about is having glacier ice🤣😘❤️💕love from USA
Sue here: what a precious video - thank you !!!
This channel is my happy place. ❤😊
Just Grim alone, is all I need!
Cecilia & Christoffer are just the icing on the cake.☺️
Wow! Your glacier hiking segment is amazing! Love all your videos...definitely want to visit Svalbard next summer!
So beautiful. The part about sleeping upstairs due to the polar bear threat made me wonder, if they can potentially get in the building, is someone keeping watch, is there some type of alarm, how is that managed? Camping in Yellowstone I was hyper aware of the potential for a bear encounter. I had to laugh at your comment about liking polars bears chunky and good hunters. Less likely to bother a human I would hope.
Polar bears are the only bear species that will actively hunt humans for food. Other bears will stay away from humans or only attack if they feel threatened. There are videos of polar bears breaking windows/doors to get into cabins, but they are not professional burglars so you will easily hear them entering lol.
As it is probably strange to you that someone from Slovenia is following you, it's strange to me that someone from Slovenia lives on Svalbard. If possible, please greet Hanno from Slovenia. I really enjoy following your channel, and now I'll enjoy it even more. 😉
Beautiful Cecilia the shows getting more entertaining every time I watch it❤❤❤
Christopher is all man.
I love that.
Way too many feminine men running around
A mans, man
Glaciers, whales and coffee, yeah its a vibe. ❤
21:00 This is my kind of adventure, in a cozy cabin with food and facilities... ❤❤❤
17:45
Cecilia you are at one with nature and living beings, you are trully blessed.
The glaciers are amazing and gorgeous.
Wow. You speak to every travel adventurer out there. What a great spot! Love your videos and thank you for sharing your life experiences with Kristopher and Grim. 🇨🇦❤❤❤
