••• ABOUT THIS VIDEO •••
For quite a while now I have been planning this 1 month trip to Svalbard, and now finally the time has come. I am going to spend the first week together with my dad, and I am really looking forward to having such a father and son trip.
I have added some new solar panels to my equipment and I am quite confident, that they will supply me with sufficient power for this trip where I am going to camp remotely for several days.
To be well prepared for less ideal situations I am practicing pitching the tent in my backyard to get the rutines needed.
When arriving Svalbard dad and I are going on our first trip to a cabin. It is a nice hike and a beautiful location. On the way we meet reindeer but there is no time for photography. My priority is to get to the cabin before anyone gets tired. After all it is many year since we have hiked together.
When dad leaves Svalbard work will start for me. I have an assignment that I can not reveal at this moment, but I am sure many of you will see it within the next month or so...
Happy watching and stay tuned for Part II.
••• WHO I AM •••
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer.
I work as a ILCP photographer, and nature conservation is very close to my heart.
I have served in the Danish military special unit, the Sirius Patrol, for two years and that has given me the skills and confidence to operate alone in the arctic regions. I have spent two further years in the northern parts of Greenland meeting the local people and working on photography projects. My driving force is a sense of adventure and my fascination for nature, and my curiosity and empathy for other cultures has led me to many remote regions.
Read more about my time in the Sirius Dogsled Patrol: www.bbc.com/earth/story/201602...
Beside being featured in publications and in my books books my photographs have been awarded in the Wildlife photographer of the year and European Wildlife photographer of the year photo competitions.

Congratulations on being selected as Nikon Ambassador. I was really happy to see yours and Nigel Dansons' name in it. Good luck to you.
Thank you very much. Some exciting things will be revealed in one of my upcoming videos👀😉
Great news being a Nikon Ambassador
@@MortenHilmer I know your getting the z9!!!!!! It fits you!
Never thought I'd be watching a guy talk about hanging his laundry in the salty morning air, but here we are! Safe travels Morten :)
😂😂 no there you see. Stay tuned for the next videos - there will be a bit more action than clothes in salty air 😉
Leaving on assignment for Nikon tomorrow at dawn!
The landscapes are so calm and so is Martin's voice. I would watch him do his laundry anytime.
I was very glad to see your Father, its something special to be able to share an experiences like this whit your family. I´m very happy for both of you.
Watching you and your dad on a trip together, it makes me realized how much I missed my dad.
Yeah I actually kind of regret haven’t done this before now.
I totally understand you and I’m sad to hear. I guess you have a lot of other good memories.
@@MortenHilmer Thank you for replying Morten. Hope your dad and you are having a safe trip.
Such a simple video, nothing fancy or complicated or technical. Father and son out in the wild enjoying each other’s company..truly precious times.
Morten I have to say something. Every time I watch one of videos it brings up my passion for photography, and videography. I am lucky enough to live in the French alps and be able to have great landscapes. But I wish I cold experience true wilderness. And Morten, you bring that to me, you inspire me to go out there and one day try it for myself. Thank you to making me more human that I was.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes this wilderness is breathtaking
your dad is still very healthy and strong to carry all those stuff. wonderful reunion
To hike like this at 75, this is very special. The understated warmth was felt by all. Thank you.
you both are so lucky to hike together! The memories you are giving each other.
Another watch that would not be out of place on network TV. What is termed as “slow TV” and all the better for it. Superb watch.
Can't wait to see what you get to film and photograph, Have fun.
That deer has been waiting for you since svalbard 1.0 trip
*Woaah its time for another great Morten Geographic series Now!*
Instantly recognized that cabin from a few years ago 😉 It must have been one of the first videos I watched on your channel, and I never left 😊 Glad you get to share this experience with your dad. Even your voiceover sounds incredibly happy!
Hey Pica. So nice to hear your voice here👍💪
Nice video and glad to see you spending time with your Father. It makes me miss the time I had with my dad. Take Care!
Father and son - the best team 😊
Not sure why would anyone give a thumbs down to such a beautiful video. Enjoy your parents while you can. Magical!
Just can't imagine you got him to carry 20kg! Dear God, bless him. Thanks for sharing these very precious moments of your life Morten. Such a trip with your Dad when he is 75 is in deed a blessing from above. Make sure you capture his moments and moods well just like you do with all your videography and with photos. They will have a story on its own. Shall come back again to watch you both. Hope you both have a wonderful time and a safe journey. God's richest blessings!
So calming, like we are there, you paint the picture for the perfect story. Hooked again!
This makes me glow inside. I miss my Dad so much. I am so happy for you Morten.
It is heartwarming seeing a Father and Son spending time together.
My Father passed away many years ago when I was age 18, now I am 62 and still to this day cry for him.
We use to go on many adventures, and he taught me so much about life and the world around us.
I keep his memory close to my heart always.
So happy you have these precious times to spend with your Dad.
Best wishes on your adventure Mr. Hilmer,
Steve
Such wonderful new memories you are creating with your Dad. Thank you so much for the update on your trip. Many congratulations on being a Nikon Ambassador and also for having lots of matching pairs of socks! 😍
Thank you 😀 I have even more unmatching pairs!
Beautiful comment.....hello Sabean how are you doing?
Thanks for sharing and you are so fortunate to be with your Dad .All the best
Thank you Morten...it is nice to be reminded that nature photography is as much about the experience as it is about getting the shots.
Svalbard is my favorite thing on this channel, I really like everything you do and I hope one day I will be like you
Second video today from Morten Hillmer. The first one was episode two. Now episode one. Nice to see you spent the time together with your father in such a great environment. Enjoy that time! Right now exactly ten years ago I spoke the last words with my father before he passed away the next day. I wish I could do a similar trip. In remembering ...
Great videos! Great Landscape. Need to get more!
This is so nice that you and your dad get to spend time like this. I can't wait to see more videos of this adventure.
Glad you're getting to have such an amazing adventure with your father....those special kind of moments are not always available to people in their lives.
I was watching with volume down at first and I actually thought it was Svalbard. Then the cat walked in! 😂🐈
Smorrebrod in a quiet cozy cabin with a stunning view. Sign me up!
How lovely to see your great relationship with your father - and that you are proud of him.
So good of you to share some of these moments with your father - what a great idea for a trip - make the most of them!!
I‘m really touched by seeing you and your farther on a trip together. Thanks, Morten.
So nice to see you enjoying that time with your father. That was really so wonderful to watch. I look forward to the rest of this journey with you. Thanks!

Very smart to test all your gear and be prepared for everything before you travel to Svalbard. Enjoy your trip. 👍⛺️😎📷😜
Great to see your Dad out with you Morten!
I like the look of your backpacks and bags, they look really stout.
Just watching you guys having lunch in the cabin is relaxing.
So special to spend quality time like this with your father. I have many happy memories of spending time in nature with my late father and I have him to thank for nurturing my love for nature as I was growing up. Enjoy the rest of your trip and stay safe. 👍
Beautiful video, Morten. I always find your work to be so inspiring and motivating. I was especially happy to see you make it out with your dad, those father/son trips can be so incredibly special, I'm glad you're able to do that.
The way both dad and son looked out of the window after the first bite
Hello from Scotland, what a fantastic place. All the very best to you both. Safe travels.

Thanks for taking us along your trip, Morten! Visiting Svalbard has always been a dream of mine, I love how nature looks up there especially at this time of the year. I'm excited fo the videos... Also, I like the "behind the scenes" at your home - always a great addition to the clips from nature. Really looking up to you!
Beautiful video ... enjoy your photo adventure with your Dad! Thanks for sharing.
Best of luck on your next adventure. Glad you were able to spend this time with your dad.

Que bella aventura junto a tu padre! Yo perdí al mio hace ya 16 años, ver videos así me alegran mucho, mas ese hermoso paisaje... es increíble! Gracias por compartirlo Morten, saludos de Buenos Aires.AR

Absolutely epic Morten.
This is beautiful moment rare to see a father showing some love and support to his son, you blessed Morten to have him beside you.

This is fantastic! I hope your shared adventure with your papa is memorable. Greetings to you both, and keep safe & warm!🙏🏼🤗🙌🏼
It was such an amazing time with my dad. He has left Svalbard now and for me it is time to start working😀
@@MortenHilmer I actually missed seeing a backpack on you 😉. I see migration has already started for any birds. Wishing you success capturing the wildlife and/or the landscapes of Svalbard 👍🏼🌄🙌🏼🦊
Oh wow, that’s a really nice tent. A touch of yellow makes it even better!
Brilliant video yet again.Stay safe both of you
What an adventure to experience at 75 with your son. With all the crazy things happening these days Morten brings us back to nature.. thankyou.
Great video Morten! Can't wait to see your next video. Great to see your Father in this video.👍
Morten... it is so helpful to get the necessity of being prepared for a trip, as in putting up a tent and taking it down and several times. Thank you for such support! Thank you for such a nice video! Good luck on the trip! Oh... your Dad is cool! )))
That's great Morten that you are going to get this time in with your dad. I lost my dad a few weeks ago, enjoy your time with him, the memories are forever. Safe travels to you and your dad.
Morten not Morton.
@@larsm1712 my bad. Morten
Hi Mike and thanks for your kind comment.
I know that day will come and regardless how much I do with my dad I believe I’ll always regret the things I didn’t do.
It is always like that so we have to be grateful for the good moments and memories 😊

Smart move to get familiar with your travel gear and know everything before you travel and go to Svalbard. Have a great trip. 👍😎📷⛺️👋
Thanks Joel👍👍
What a wonderful time you get to spend together! I'm glad to see the two of you enjoying it so much. The light inside that cabin was beautiful when you sat down to eat. And your attention to detail down to the matches on the firewood is one of the reasons why you're so successful.
