This is awesome! I wish there where more of these videos on TH-cam! I think those random island are really interesting and I'm very curious what happened to this village or what ever that was! How the hack did you guys get there? Was it an international expedition or have you went there on your own? I wish I could explore those islands too! Great video! :D
I was in the coastguard during that time, so we went for a trip to the island to explore a little bit. Sadly my battery ran out on my phone, otherwise the video would've been much longer. We saw a little Arctic fox when we got closer to the mountains. I think the small village got destroyed during WW2. The place had a lot of coal as well, which you can see in the video. :)

Die norwegischen Betreiber haben sie dann aber aufgegeben, weil es sich nicht mehr gelohnt hätte sie weiterhin zu betreiben. Heutzutage sind die Gebäude größtenteils zerfallen aber immer noch interessant.

Kann mir vorstellen, dass es dort durch den Klimawandel grüner werden wird, es sieht doch sehr karg aus.
All those stones and no one made a stone hut/castle? Amazing place, would love to live there for a few months exploring. Even from an archeological/minerological standpoint. This island has secrets.
One hundred percent amazing, thanks for sharing. Dream to go there with a privately led expedition someday. Big thumbs up despite the fact that my forehead and stomach now make it obvious why very wide angle lenses became standard for smartphone filming a couple of years after the publishing of this video...
if you fly to Zurich switzerland or Gothenburg Sweden you can sail with us from Sweden to Svalbard to Iceland then canada and we plan to visit all the islands that come on our route ..
This is just about as wild as any part of Europe gets. This island was considered “no mans land” until 1920 when it was claimed by Norway as part of Svalbard Archipelago. No settlement has ever survived there for long....just a lonely, wind swept island in the middle of the Barents Sea.
I just discovered Bear Island on Google Earth and was wondering about the man made scars on the NE coast, how cool to find a video that takes me right there...Thanks for posting.
Yup, its only a few people living north of the island. Not sure how long they are there, but i think its 6-9 months before they change crew. During this time i was in the Navy (coast guard), so we used one of our resque boats (sjøbjørn or seabear). If you look closely at the beginning of the video when i record the ocean, you can barely see the boat (tiny little orange dot)

@@privatcontractor251 oh thank you!!! Its a great idea, im so far but pandemic Its a big problem currently. So i apreciate your words, i would like to sailing in that way someday. You have an own boat? What an amazing adventure!
Is it possible for civilians to move there now? Does the Norwegian govt allow people to move there? Would it be difficult to find food and fresh water? I am thinking about moving there to do some writing and live off the grid, into the wild type of living.
Ive been on the Island a couple of times (only the northern part) and theres loads of small lakes with fresh water. There is no one saying you can't be on the island. Ive personally seen private sailboats around the island. But Mostly trawlers. Food might be a problem. Only animal Ive seen there is seagulls and artic fox. On the northern tip of the island theres a radio station with a couple of people living there. Theres also many small cabins around the island(one of em are in this video).
@@WiggyRS Hi I'm curious - that cabin you found.. what is the purpose of that? It looks like it is a recent living quarters of someone as it wasn't all cobwebbed and rusted out and seems sort of modern? is it just there for whoever needs it?
@@basehead617 far as i know, the cabin is for the crew that lives on the northern part of the island. There is a radio station in the northern part. Think they use the cabins if they want to go for a little walk, and can sleep there over night if they want to. We were in another cabin as well, but its not in the video since i ran out of batteries...
No idea what it is from. But the last spine (the huge one) was definetly from a whale. I wish, but probably my last time being there (i was on bear island because i was in the coastguard). I usually record places ive been on holidays.

Спасибо огромное за видео! Очень благодарна...🥰🙏 С удовольствием посмотрела...😍👍
Thus is taking the "lost places" genre to a higher level. Thanks for this great clip.
Glad you liked it! I wouldve recorded more, but battery ran out.
Awesome, I would love to visit this island.

I came from Google Earth
Me too
Apparently, this island was the inspiration for the isle of Berk in How To Train Your Dragon.
nah. it just supposedly looks like it. The insparation was from the authors holiday island in scotland
I wonder if you could plant a tree there and if there would grow a forest.
What a beautiful place. Theres only a few of scientist for research porpuse living there, thats right? How did you go to the island?

@@WiggyRS Oh i see, and thank you for answer! I wish to go to the island someday but is not for common people sadly. Regards from Argentina!

Any relations with Alistair MacLean' s novel, The Bear Island?
just checked it now, its the same island from the Novel.
great video!
Thank you
This island was based on the island of Berk in HTTYD
Peter Dhan L.S. Wait you mean that the opposite way right? They didn’t create a real island based on berk? 😂
Isabelle Amelia 😂😂
Why there is green water ?
I dont think its green. If it looks like its green i think its because of the light.
Are those rusted pipes for oil?
Or to bring in seawater for the gold mine?
@@zhoubaidinh403 its not a gold mine, but coal. The big rusted pipes was once a very tall tower (most likely for radio signal)
@@WiggyRS Thx!

Theres chars in the lakes there and the sea has a lot of cod
Only I feel dizzy watchin this bacause this crazy lens?
9:35 - Holy Grail ;)
Remains of mining activities?
Yes, mainly coal. Think it is from 2nd world war.
I thought it was never settled before.
I really dont know that much. Just heard it was used during the 2nd WW, and there was some kind of sabotage, I think.
Sabotage?
Yes, during ww2. but im not really sure.
I name it Easway, can I have it and make a country? Tnks :pBeautiful video
Hahah, suuure :D thank you! It wouldve been longer, but battery ran out. After it ran out i managed to see a baby artic fox.
That is amazing, I love this videos :) It got to see enoughThere is a site for this Island and it has so many beautiful pictures of foxes there :)
no danger to meet polar bears?🤔
Havent been polar bears on this island for many many years. But we brought a HK416 with 1 full mag of ammo just in case
why its like this abounded and destroyed ?!
Think its from WW2
That was a part of a human spine he found 😬
😬😬
Or cow, but deffo spine 😁 You Guys should visit more places 👍 thanks for sharing
No idea what it is from. But the last spine (the huge one) was definetly from a whale.
I wish, but probably my last time being there (i was on bear island because i was in the coastguard). I usually record places ive been on holidays.
Going to bear island and not seeing a bear, is like going to a brothel and not seeing a prostitute.
Things have changed over the years, but not the name of the island.
The french.leave an ancient treasure somewere overthere
Any sources that say that or just rumors?
