I love how Grim knows the word “snacks” in different languages. He’s a man after my own heart☺️
An intelligent dog has a large vocabulary. Of mostly food words ;)
Grimm howling into the cold crisp air was absolute perfection! He's truly living his best doggie life on Svalbard 💙
Your videos always leave me with such a sense of calm. I fall into a trance seeing the magical snow covered mountains and landscape..and the furry reindeer are truly magnificent as well.
Thank you Cecelia for bringing us into your part of the World and sharing its splendor!
💙💛🇸🇪🇸🇯🌬🌨❄☃️🐻❄️🦭🐳
Totally agree!! Colorado Chix
You have such a cute house and Grim is so lovely.
You've summed up the appeal very well.
Calmness, Grim and majestic scenery, it's so nice to have a view into Cecilia's remote and beautiful life.
This is dreamy. Your channel is one of the very few where I always hit the Like button even before watching the video ;-)
You're the best! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
same here--I know in advance it will be wonderful!
Same! Oh, how I long to come here one day with my beagle pup ❤️
Completely agree!🤍✨🤗
@@BiiancaaSunshiinee Me too! I'd love to bring my golden retriever. He loves snow
I can’t decide whether I love all the beautiful snowy nature scenes with your sweet dog Grimm(sp.) or the cozy relaxing and inviting scene in your beautiful home with fire burning. Thank you for inviting us into your life in Svalbard.
Equal!
Perfect, then I'll keep sharing both 😍
@@CeciliaBlomdahl yes please
Svalbard is so interesting because it’s such a livable place in such an extreme place. 😎
You really have breathtaking views from your house and actually everywhere you walk or drive. I have already learned so much about Svalbard, thank you for so interesting videos from you and please keep them coming! All the best to you, Christoffer and Grim.
I'm so glad you enjoy them! 😊😊
Santa's reindeer going out for a walk. Snowflakes falling on Grim's eyelashes. These are a few of my favourite things.
8.37 Here you got a blessing that you chose the right color for your house. Same basic color on the sky, the water and the house!
I love how Christopher casually moves those heavy logs under the house with one arm and an ax.
As well as the breathtaking scenery, the videography and editing on these videos is brilliant.
Thank youuu 🙏
I know it's wrong and I hate myself for it... I am so jealous of your life on Svalbard. Such magnificence, and joy. I'm not saying you haven't worked very hard to get where you are today, I simply wish I was apart of the life on Svalbard. It will never be due to many obstacles. Thank you for giving me a piece of the purest and sublime part of your life. I wish I could find the words to express how grateful I am.
My wife and I are now contemplating a trip to Svalbard , beautiful scenery
Living in Texas and dealing with everyday BS of Society, and watching your videos makes me wish I could live in a place like that where it is beautiful and quiet and peaceful and not have to deal with crap here in the states. Love your videos 😊
I’m with you! I’d gladly move - with my cat - and my possessions to Svalbard to get away from USA constant craziness. I live in NYC.
I feel you, brother.
But we get cheap avocados....
Cody, I grew up in Waco and at 25 moved to Oregon.
I hear ya on the BS that we in America have to deal with but with each of these beautiful videos from Svalbard, I always consider the trade offs of getting the occasional finger in traffic compared to a Polar Bear on your back pocket and I guess I will just stay down here. //ji
Grim is so happy. He makes me smile, knowing he is in his element and so loved. Jag älskar Grim. Woof!
4:45 The way Grim positions himself to receive the treat is so cute😍
It's his "sit beautifully" command 🤣🤣
Isnt it just amazing to see your scenery change into dif seasons? Thru Cecilia’s Vlog felt like I am living in Svalbard too.. such a spectacular place to live in!
Oh of course Grim shots 💕💕💕
The scene and the song at the end brought up so much emotion and gratitude in me, just beautiful! And my 5 doggies were howling along with Grim, lol. If he ever visits Houston, Texas he will have a pack of friends to hang out with.
So relaxing.When I just need to chill, I watch ur videos .Have loved each one.The music that accompanies the video is perfect.Just sets the mood.
You guys are awesome at this.
I always watch your videos when I'm up with my newborn during the night. They always make me feel so calm and peaceful 😴
I love Grim! He is just a sweetheart! I've been subscribed almost a year now & I love seeing Svalbard in all the seasons. Such a beautiful part of the world that I wouldn't know without you channel. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Every time I see your water view, it reminds me of my dad who recently passed away. He had waterfront home in the state of Delaware and you could just look out and see the bay. It is very calming and peaceful no matter where in the world you may be. I want to give Grim a hug ❤ 😂. I wish you all the best, and I enjoy the videos when you go boating and when Christoffer cooks.
I so love this soft light of Autumn and Spring
Grim always looks like he’s smiling 😊! He’s such a good boy 🐶 and enjoys Svalbard a little more than I think you and Kristopher do 🤣☺️! Winter is coming back and I really enjoyed your recent northern lights video last week!
Grim is sooo happy all the time 😍
So lucky that I found your channel, it gives me the opportunity to follow a little bit on what`s going on at this impressing location. I´ve been there with my wife in June 2019. Did some dog sledding on Foxfonna glacier , kayaking to and hiking at Hiorthhamn and had a walk through Bjorndalen with a guide ;-)). It all was topped by a 5 days cruise with Hurtigrutens MS Nordstjernen to Barentsburg, Pyramiden and so many arctic glaciers and fjords and fortunately polar bear observations as well. We will come back for sure sometime in March to have the colours of the pastel winter. Enjoy your life and the different seasons up there !
Greetings from Switzerland. I discovered your vlog about a week ago after returning from a trip to Iceland (which was *amazing* BTW). I'm now obsessed with all things "north", and I'd love to visit Svalbard! Love your videos!!
I feel we are on different planet. Earth is so mysterious and magical.
I adore the music you choose for your videos! I listen to a band that is very similar called Paper Kites. Their Woodland album is amazing. It was the soundtrack I used in my car while driving around Oahu Hawaii.
Thank youuu! I will check that out, thanks for the tip! 😊
@@CeciliaBlomdahl you’re welcome! The songs Featherstone, Halcyon and Bloom are sooo good.
Grim howling has to be the best thing I've heard all day! I don't think you've ever posted a video of his howl! And his smile at the end warms the coldest hearts! :)
This is another great video, my dear. Thank you for such a great way to start my day! I can't wait for the next one ~ your life is just magical. :)

Hello from Louisville, Kentucky, USA, Cecilia. I just discovered your channel yesterday; the one about the Northern Lights. Seeing the lights is on my bucket list! I have been binge watching your videos this morning! So happy to see this new video. Thank you for sharing your life with us! What a beautiful existence. I hope to visit some day! :)
Thank you for the beautiful scenery: the mountains, the snow, the Grim, the candles, the fire, love all of it, absolutely all of it is a balm for the soul
This vlog was so fantastic, I Really Love the
Music as well as your editing of the scenery
And the animals was amazing.
Also, your living room with the fire going
Looks so Cozy, I just want to be transported
There to play with Grim !!! Thank you for
Making these videos, I look Sooo forward
To them. They make me VERY HAPPY!!!!
💞💞🐶🥰👍💞
Thank youuu 😭🧡
Martin Hall/Reckless is one of them. I just looked it up because I like that also. I seen your comment and thought you might want to listen to it. I love her videos with all that snow. God bless you.
When ever I what to escape this mad world, I watch your very relaxing beautiful scenery and home life in beautiful Svalbard 🥰👍🏾
Your videos are visually stunning! You edit your content so well! Beautiful and relaxing! Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us - it’s so great seeing how different people live across the world.
I can’t get enough of your videos lately! I lay in bed with my warm white fairy lights on and it’s so cosy! Love the vibes of the polar night 🌚✨
Me too, I turn on my faux fireplace and fairy lights and just melt into these videos. Winter is fast approaching and I’m usually bummed about it but this year I’m learning to lean into it with the help of Cecilia, Christoffer and Grim of course!!
@@bugshavefeelings same!!! they make winter more bareable x
Grim’s “call to the ladies” woke my dog Ellie up from a dead sleep (the garbage truck didn’t make her stir). This call to the ladies appears to be very effective 😂😂
Mine too😂
It woke up my cat laying next to me. She glared at me and went back to sleep.
Fascinating and beautiful. I just love Svalbard so much. Grim is so handsome and frisky. Your videos are always so calming to me. I love them all.
I feel like Grimm is always living his best life in the snow and cold! It looks like his breed thrives in the cold weather!
I recently discovered your channel through TikTok and I feel your energy ❄️🏔. Your life in the north is beautiful! I am from Canada and I have come to accept and love the beauty of the long dark winter months as part of life rather than dread it.
I love watching your life in such a remote, cold place! Grim is definitely a snow dog! ❤🐶
Oh my goodness! Grim's little howls are just too cute!!!
Thanks for the beautiful video once again. 🙂
This is all so fascinating to me. I was born in Beirut and spent most of my life in California but i have always been partial to colder climates so I am enthralled by this Longyearbyen content in 4k.
Plus your editing and music choices are top notch. I hope to be able to visit Svalbard someday.
I loved the comment...Santa takes good care of them...referring to the Reindeer...thank you Cecilia on behalf of all of us who like to keep the Magic of Christmas for the Little Ones in our Families💗
The views you capture are amazing also, love hearing Grim sing, he is so adorable!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing life…I love being able to see your part of the world. Yes it is beautiful! 😊 And Grim is adorable!
I love your house, I adore the cosy scandinavian interior, 💙🐟
Thank you!! 😊
The music in this one got me a little emotional at 13:53 ❤✨ Great vlog, as always !
Cecilia perhaps in your last life you were a citizen of svalbard . You are born in this life in sweeden but see you and svalbard town again embraced each other .😁😁May God bless (you,Christopher, grim) all of you guys. stay happy.
I love your stopping to 'smell the flowers' and take in the changing weather, the silence, etc.. You have a nice disposition for enjoying the simple beauty of you home and I find I'm always reminded to do the same in mine!
I’m so excited to have found your channel and to get to see more of the polar nights! The village is beautiful lit up at night! I love that you show us trips to the grocery store, post office, vet, and more. I enjoy the drives and the history lessons we get. Such great videos! Not to mention the beautiful views!! Thank you, Cecilia!
I don't know why but your videos . Just nature is so calming . It calms my nerves .
Thank you for another peaceful, but informative video. Please never stop sharing your talent and life with us. We all need to know there is a place on earth that is peaceful and not full of hate. Peaceful days to you, Christopher and Grim. By the way, my Boston Terrier loves watching Grim. She gets very excited when he comes on the TV.
Found your videos by chance, probably because I’m always watching Alaskan videos,
now I can’t stop watching, what beautiful place, now I want to visit, keep up the awesome work.
💙💙🙌🙌
I love your videos I watch everytime a new video is posted. This is how I get my calm on.
Love that! 🤩
Among all your vlogs except Portugal this place you’re in were the best. We just moved to the mountains 🏔 with the elevation 2,134 so far our temperatures goes down to 1 degrees centigrade unlike yours definitely in the negative. We love it here because of the greenery & the beautiful arrays of the blue ridge mountains. So when I watched yours I love looking at the soft white mountains & the northern lights. I admire your lively vibrant personality you make everything looks calm and relaxing- never boring place. It’s great to have your pet & hubby included. Thank you ❤️
Can't wait to see the seasons change over the next year
I am find myself frequenting your vlog more & more. For 15-20min I feel like I have be removed from this crazy world and into a nice cold & peaceful life. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your home through your eyes.
I love the mutual respect for the wildlife there, but also the understanding of the realistic nature from the gov’t for protection. The vast majority of the time there will be no issues, but it’s very realistic to be prepared for the 1% of the time.
Thanks for sharing a snippet of your life up there on top of the world, its truly beautiful and looks very cozy with the fireplace lit :)
I love everything about your vlogs... the sights, the music, good vibes, and the editing :) much love from California
Grim is awesome! I think this is the best video yet. The scenery is just spectacular. ❤
Thank you for these wonderful videos, I really found your channel and I have rewatched many of your old videos whilst feeding my daughter during the night feeds. Your channel is incredible and I’m so pleased you’re getting the recognition you deserve for these quality videos of Svalbard life🥰
Night view is amazing.. And your expertise to consolidate your video in 10 minutes is amazing..
Your videos are so calming. Stunning views as always!!!
Thank you so much!
Water and mountains together is a vibe.
Beautiful photography, editing and choice of music! 🎶 Fun to see Grim so much and the local reindeer. Thanks for the great video. Have a great week🐾🐶🌌
It is so relaxing. Thanks Cecilia it was awesome!
Thank god, another amazing video. The beauty of this "small" part of the world just blows me away. Thank you for letting us take part in your life!
Extremely beautiful. I wouldn’t be able to live in a perpetual winter landscape with no trees but it would make a dream destination for sunset photography
If you were to look up "cozy" in the dictionary, there would be a picture of your living room right next to it. Love from California
Love your videos. My wife and I visited Svalbard 2 years ago. We took a 16 hour snowmobile excursion to glacier. We got lucky and saw a Polar Bear on the ice. We stayed at the Funken Lodge. Great place. Svalbard is beautiful and we plan on returning again.
I enjoy watching you and Grim.
the last song was so fitting! i love winter! It's like you say, everything is so subdued when the snow is there. Many greetings from Germany
God bless you, Ceclia, and Christopher, and Grim! ❤❤❤
I could never tire of seeing the reindeer. You are so blessed to live in such an amazing and beautiful part of the world. Thank you for sharing with us.
I’ve been following you since feb 2020 and so look forward to watching your videos, they are always so relaxing and I just love your films about trips to Portugal, your house extension truly fascinating , thanks from Ottawa for your all hard work :)
It looks so peaceful there. I see why you love it.
I love your Videos, it gives me a cozy feeling ❤
I'm so glad! 😍
I never heard Grim howl like that! He's so cute!
Such a calming way to start my day. Thank you!
I LOVE your videos. More than once in the past week, since I found you, I have done what probably everyone has done who watches your videos, wondered how I can pack up and move there ASAP! You are literally living my dream. It is so wonderful to watch, to see such a beautiful life there.
I love your videos so much and appreciate that you don't keep us waiting too long in between. :) Following you for at least a year now I think and still can't get over where you are living! ❤️
Beautiful and evocative with tons of moodiness. I love this.
🏔️🌨❄️🌅🔥🕯🐶🦌
I recently found and subscribed to your channel and I love your videos so much! The landscape is breathtaking and the way you film and edit your videos makes them so enjoyable to watch. You guys did an amazing job on the cabin extension, it’s so cozy and the VIEW omg 😍 I live in Canada and once it gets below 10C I lose all interest in going outside lol but you make winter and the polar night seem so appealing. I think what really makes your videos stand out though is that they’re not only about consumption (I do seek out and enjoy that sort of content, so no hate to anyone). I just find it very refreshing to see your videos because whether intentional or not, there seems to be more of an emphasis on being happy with what you have and where you are, as well as sharing what it’s like to live in such a unique and beautiful place. Oh and Grim is probably the cutest dog I’ve ever seen!!
this whole video was truly just such a spiritual experience. sending love 💙✨☺️
Your videos are always stunningly beautiful! I'm not a big fan of the cold, but I love seeing how the landscape changes in Svalbard over the year. And Grim always steals the show : ) I have a possible video idea: Pets on Svalbard. What animals are allowed, which are not, what's different about having them on the island vs. the mainland, etc. Looking forward to seeing your next video (and more Grim)!
I'm an very curious about that too! I used to watch this guy that was a tattoo artist lives in Australia and he has like a I think Alaskan Malamute or maybe it's a husky but it really looks miserable living in such heat. Seems like borderline abuse, certain dogs shouldn't be in certain climates you know I understand everybody doesn't feel that way but it just seems like common sense. But I always wonder like are there cats there where she is because you never see any you know?
Beautiful blue against the fire. Grim is adorable.
Another beautiful video. I'm glad the guns are a last resort but it's also a comfort knowing you have that protection with you anyways. It looks almost magical with the snow. The kind of scenery you'd find in fantasy movies.
Watching your Videos is like being in another World. It is so beautiful in Svalbard
Ah the way he's howling is so cute......
Great job. Ummmmm yes. Beautiful filming, editing, topic, music. A day in the life.. I absolutely loved it. I’ve followed you for a few years now but just had to comment on this one. Oscar material.
I will be interested to see how the new home extension fares throughout the Svalbard Winter. Insulation, plumbing, etc. My guess is it will be fine.
Hello Cécilia !!! So happy to see you !! You're my ray of light every sunday !! You make me happy !! Thank you so much !! Today, the sky is very grey and sad in France... Good evening and good polar night !! Bye !!!! 🤗😚
Thank you so much! Have an amazing day! 😊😊
“It’s so quiet, I can’t believe how quiet it is”… not me watching this while my kids are screaming in the bath 😫
Loving the snow ❄ 😍 Reindeer too! Wonderful, your appreciation of everything around you is a blessing 💖 You, Chris and Grim are such an important part of Svalbard, I cant imagine you living anywhere else. I know polar bears are extremely dangerous, but how beautiful they are too💗
I subscribed to you about 2 weeks ago and fell in love with your channel. I've binge watched every single video now, and I was so excited to see an upload. Please keep making great content with Grim❤
Thank you so much!! 😍
Just taking a moment to appreciate how absolutely adorable Grim is. Who’s a handsome boy, then? You are, Grim! You are! 💕🐶💕
I just find out your channel and it’s amazing!!! I’ve been binge watching for a few hours now. It’s so lovely to see what it’s like to live in the North Pole, so different from where I live (the Sonora dessert in Mexico).
Thank you for showing your amazing home!! Hope to see it with my own eyes one day!! Greetings and love from Mexico!!
I'm soo glad you enjoyed it 🤩🤩
Oh my god I’m hooked now on visiting Svalbard. Thanks so much for uploading all your videos. It’s just so beautiful the landscape I feel like seeing it in the flesh would be so much better 😊😊😊. Can’t wait until you upload another video ❤️
Such a good movie. Grim is an expert howler! 💙
🤩😍
Your home is soooooo cozy, and the contrast between the cold outside the window and warmth in your home is sooooo beautiful!! You inspire me to enjoy winter...
