••• 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 spent the first week together with my dad, and we had a wonderful time.
I have been on a 4-day solo trip to a remote fiord to find and photograph wildlife.
This is the last video in my series from Svalbard. I am on a remote location together with Robin Levin from Nikon Professional Services to hopefully find and photograph birds and wildlife.
So far we have been lucky to find reindeer, birds and a polar bear to photograph. This is the last day and while I did not have a lot of expectations, I have to say this day turned out very good. Last moment luck I would say.
Happy watching and stay tuned for the next video.
••• WHO I AM •••
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer.
I am a Nikon Ambassador and I work as an ILCP photographer.
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.
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.

Morten Hilmer
I do not think Nikon could find any better ambassdor than Morten Hilmer, always sharing form his big knowlege. You are a big inspiration to all of us:)............
very true. had i watched Marten's videos before choosing the system it would be N probably even without thinking about it. Nikon should sprinkle Morten with the latest gear :)
Oh thank you so much - What a lovely compliment:)
Totally!
You hit the nail firmly on the head.
True 👌
A cup of coffee, a comfy chair and a new upload from Morten, what a lovely treat for a Sunday afternoon 🥰
I just hate when it ends man.. I’ve been refreshing TH-cam everyday waiting for you to post a new video.. and i instantly look at the length of the video hoping for a 45 min long one ( wishful thinking). Ive been connected to wildlife since i was a boy, and over the las year ive reconnected to it when i picked up my first camera Nikon z6. When i found you ive been hooked every since. Ive been going through so much since my daughter passed away two years ago, and you as a person, as a human, your personality, your passion for wildlife, these videos, they are so therapeutic for my mental health.. i was going threw some mental challenges this week and i was on TH-cam everyday hoping Morten put up the next video.. thank you for being a beautiful creation of our God/Creator.. sharing your life and story with us. Much love to you my brother
Thank you so much for writing this heart warming comment. I am really grateful. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to sharing many more adventures with you.
All the best
Morten
Everyone else: "This weather sucks, I'm going home." Morten: "Kinda like this weather."
Lol
LMAO, my first thought 🤭
Absolutely superb footage. Most Z9 buyers are going to throw a panic attack if they get a single spec of mud or drop of water on their kit, and yet you show exactly how tough it has been built 😁
One of the big considerations I had when debating on getting a Nikon even though I don’t really go out in bad weather. I couldn’t decide between canon r6 or Nikon z6ii. I went with canon, but I have a month to decide if I want to keep it. I’m just a hobbyist so there’s nothing spec wise that I really need. But I the autofocus is what swung me towards canon for now. I do like how all of nikons lenses are WR where as canon only L glass has WR
Thinking the same thing!
Thought that too.
The difference is that Nikon will give him a new camera for free and most photographers must pay for their equipment.
The best Moment at 10:14 when the fox spotted the guy with the Camera.He looks up and he is thinking: Oh it is Morton Hilmer from Denmark.No reason for panic and I can relax myself.Love this.
I am a simple man.
I see Mortens video notification, I click!
Morten is probably Nikon’s best ambassador. Worthy of the equipment and an incredible human. Keep up the work Morten!
That fox is so cute. And look at it's camouflage. It almost perfectly blends with the rocks
This was such an amazing series and Nikon couldn't wish for a better ambassador. 😊 Loved the footage and photos of the arctic fox and how it didn't really care about your presence. My favourite being the first photo with that beautiful backdrop. Whispers: Please put it in your 2023 calendar😉. I'm already intrigued by the next video!
Thank you so much Pica - I will definitely have that photo in mind for the 2023 calendar:)
No one should worry about this camera being tough enough for wildlife photography. This has been a great video series. You got great images.
This could be edited into a feature length film.
Mr HIlmer,
Never STOP doing this you make people like me believe in magic
Another Sunday treat. I love the Svalbard Series badge you have in the thumbnail
It's amaizing how you can give an emotional ending to "a YT video", great job as usual! Such an inspiration
I wish this series never ends... Thank you Morten.
I love the opening... it's like the beginning of Never Cry Wolf. One of my all-time favorite films. What a great environment to really run the Z9 through its paces! I'm binge-watching all videos on the Z9 while I wait for mine to ship :) Thank you for this truly extraordinary production!!! Thumbs up and I wish you all the best and am already subscribed. Truly exceptional.
You are soaring at great heights my friend
Great ending. Loved the dedication to all and the brief information about Svalbard.
Really enjoyed the drone footage. Nice that it was a success.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but i already feel nostalgic. ❤❤❤. You are awesome Morten
The little fox is adorable. Thank you Morten for this brilliant series and thanks to all the support group. 👍 This has been the highlight of the year for me. 💕 God bless you. 🙏
Sunday evening with the family and a new episode of your adventure in Svalbard…What more can you ask for 😉? Greetings from Lucerne 🤗
Hey Luca - so nice to hear from you. I hope you are all having a great time. I have a few trips for this winter, and then afterwards, I would love to come and visit you again:)
Absolutely wonderful (and amazing) to watch! Thanks Morten.
Thanks Morten! This entire series has been a colossal treat!
My gosh Morten, what a series. I'm more impressed with your work than ever before. Just fantastic.
Thank you so much for this incredible série Morton. I have enjoy every moment. What a great surprise to see you in action with the Nikon Z9 in those harsh climatic conditions. Be safe and I hope the best for your next projects.
Wow! Another beautiful film with beautiful music. Congratulation to the new assignment! You deserved it. I can't wait to see the next footage. Thank you.
Your storytelling, these pictures, the music, your mindset, well, what can i say: fantastic! Thank you for sharing these moments with us.
Excellent video. Hard to imagine how the wildlife you list got to the island. “Fun for the camera” is a thought I’d never have. Thank you!
Great video Morten! Thanks for sharing the sound of the ice and the beautiful landscape. And of course the wildlife! Your conservation and educational material is very important… see you out there!
Wow, what a fantastic series, I enjoyed every moment. Incredible photography, video, and storytelling!! I hope some of these photos show up in your 2022 calendar.
So glad that I could savour the beautiful sounds and sights of the frozen Arctic in the warm comfort of my room. Thank you Morten. Wishing you towards the one million appreciative subscribers soon.
I love watching your adventures, your natural enthusiasm shines through in every video and you show me places I have little chance of ever visiting. Thank you.
Love every moment of the entire series @Morten Hilmer. It is a great example of what it takes to be a wildlife photographer in rough locations. Makes one view your images from the cold regions with even more appreciation, now that we have a better idea of all that went into capturing them.
Cant wait for your next video :-)
This has to be the best wildlife footage I’ve ever seen. Morten - you’re such an inspiration and I’m glad you are rewarded for all the work and dedication you put into what is obviously your calling in life. Thank you again - keep well and lucky.
Simply brilliant. Love the eye contact you got. What a feeling you must of had. Love it
So awesome Morten. You were having a blast. Some of your best work.
Thank you for this stunning work Morten. Beautiful footage and stills of the Arctic Fox. Fascinating insight into Svalbard. Just what the Z9 was made for.
Your videos are taking on another dimension, and I am so privileged to feel the peace every time I watch them.
I love your content. the drone shots at the end with the rousing soundtrack was really emotional.
I just want to say thank you Morten! More than everything else thanks for being such a beautiful example of how to stay and enjoy even the most though nature without compromise it! You are an inspiration and I’m grateful with you for all you do for us. A big huge
Best thing when you get home from work and you see a new upload! Thank you!
An amazing adventure you guys had and thank you for taking us along that journey. Great shots and awesome footage.
I always enjoy your posts! ...and your book ....and your calendars. Excellent work!
Loving these videos, you always bring us along in away that I can feel the suspense and the importance of being absolutely silent. So well put together as always Morten. Huge congratulations!
The fox footage is almost hypnotic🙌🏻. The transitions at the end as he goes behind the rocks is great 😊
Just awesome! Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure!
Awesome video Morten! Love watching you in action as you bring us along on your adventures.
Spectacular! I can’t get enough of your videos. Thank You
Thanks for this Morten! Another great adventure! They keep getting better and better!
Fantastic Morten, what an great adventure,, the glacier footage was amazing..! thank you.
Morten, you are one of the few true wildlife photographers on TH-cam! Great inspiration!
Doing the same, but on a much smaller scale, I can't imagine such kind of photography without spending night in a tent, without feeling a full cycle of nature with a beauty of a different weather, seasons, time of the day, after all. And you have all of it in your life! That's amazing! Keep sharing it with us please! It's so nice to watch your videos, especially when not being able to feel a portion of it myself on a weekend...
What a absolutely brilliant series Morten. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Morten for the excelent videos from the Svalbard adventure!
Yes! The new video online. Amazing again Morten. You are such an inspiration to all of us. Thanks for sharing. You made my day😊
Fantastic footage in a mystical location! Hats off to all the Nikon ambassadors who stuck with Nikon through uncertain times and to be ultimately rewarded with the worlds best camera!
That first picture with the fox in this video, just magic. Thank you Morten for the quality and work you put in to this videos, just amazing and so beautiful. Bless you.
Thank you Morten for taking us all with you and showing the beauty of such a unique and un-disturbed place. Your enthusiasm and respect for nature is truly an inspiration to all that will listen. Your "real life" example of what it means to be a nature and wildlife photographer is refreshing. You demonstrate that the camera gear in your hands is like any other tool... It is there for a purpose like a hatchet or knife, unlike others where it is simply jewelry to keep in a bag, polish and wear around their neck to show off. Thank you for being and inspiration to us all.
Greatest serie of videos on your channel! Thanks so much Morten for giving me the desire to get out in the nature and do photography. Can't wait for next episode...
OMG, I've got a big lump in my throat after watching this video, the wildlife we have in the world is amazing, the mountains and glaziers where spectacular this is definitely for me the best video I've watched I take my hat off to you Morten amazing work please keep the films coming Thanks Paul Uk
Fantastic video as always. Love the images of the artic fox. Without question, the best wildlife photographer on TH-cam bar none. Well done Morten. Kudos !!!
Amazing trip Morten. Thank you for all the work you, you’re a true inspiration. Until next time, see you out there :)
Stunning, beautiful and awe inspiring … nature is amazing! Thank you for sharing your art with us!
This series of photographic documentary is probably one of the best, if not the best, I have seen in many years time. I feel so wonderful just watching this. Thank you for the great effort. Looking forward for the next one!
Bonjour l'ami, toujours aussi sympa tes épisodes, merci pour tes belles vidéos, et merci Nikon, pour cette mission au Svalbard...
Great movies Morten, you have something that not only is watched, but you are with you on these expeditions. I thank you for that. greetings
Thanks for the great series. It's very inspiring to see you work; really putting yourself out there to get the shots, but (and i feel this is the more important part for you) the respect you have for the animals and the environment you find them in is what really sets your work apart. Thanks again.
Thanks for a fantastic series of films Morten. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of them and now very jealous of your Z9 and the places you get to use it to its full capability.
Yet another extraordinary video! Stunning still images and footage, great sound track, you have outdone yourself!!
I love this series and I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks for sharing these unique moments with us.
Cheers.
Excellent series Morton. Thanks for taking me along.
OMG!!!! What an incredible series!!! Thank you!
Congratulations Morten for his wonderful work. His travels and photos fill us with joy... his communion with nature verges on perfection.
I can't think of the words to adequately describe this series, awesome, stunning and breathtaking come to mind but seem somehow insufficient. Thank you for taking me along to a place I'll never go - listening to the shore ice crackling took me there and I could almost feel the cold air on my cheeks. An outstanding accomplishment by you and your support team!
Morten, you bring the viewer with you, such real life situations. All through this series I have been totally absorbed by your technique and story telling in some inhospitable environment. My original interest was the goal of your project, the Z9 in Svalbard, but I found myself more and more just awestruck by the content of each video and how you managed in Svalbard. Some 46 years ago I was there, a young photographer with a limited amount of film You have rekindled the memories of that trip. Thank you for this and your awesome channel (love the BTS personal touch).
Gents, absolutely stunning work. Well done all, and thank you!
Fantastic video and series! It is always great when Morten posts a new video no matter the subject or location. Nikon made a good decision choosing Morten as an ambassador, great representative for the Nikon brand. Best channel on TH-cam!!
Such an amazing video it is. One of the greatest ambassador for Nikon. Keep growing Morten!
What a fine series this has been,thanks for taking us along with you Morten !
A great series of videos from Svalbard, thank you for sharing!
I’m truly and fully enjoying this series. I’m learning and taking in the unique and foreign frozen landscape. Thank you 🙏🏼🤗👍🏼!
I have so enjoyed all your Arctic adventures, thank you for such great content!!
It's time to dream and come down with Morten... your videos are so amazing. You show us the beauty of life and nature. Thank you so much for the trip on your side!!!🙏
Hi Morten, it was a great and a beautiful adventure on a beautiful Spitsbergen what you share with us. Thanks.
A beautiful series, thank you to all involved.
This was heartwarming. I do understand that it's sometimes nice to just go outside in this conditions - wind, rain, snow, and everything in-between... God bless modern membrane clothes which allows you to feel yourself like that fox, chilling in this conditions.
Wonderful work Morten. I love the low angle clip that showed the ice rubble line (high tide line). I've seen a lot of shots of ice rubble, and never saw one showing shch a clean level line...
Thanks Morten for these beautiful videos !
Another fantastically beautiful and inspirational video Morten. Thank you.
Morten,
Thanks for inspiring me and my wife Luana! We live in the south cone of America and having photographed Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, Falkland Is and Shetlands twice, we feel there is a lot more to be done!
See you out there!
Love,
Julio Zenkner & Luana.
Looks like an excellent end to the trip and a trip in whole! Congratulations on the stunning images Morten!
Beautiful, Morten you take people to a special place. I know I will never go there but thanks for showing how beautiful this world is. Glad Nikon have recognised your work , they couldn’t have got anyone better to test the new Z9 .
VERY VERY VERY NICE!......Totally enjoyed it and learned just how much rain and sand the Nikon gear can tolerate and keep on working. Thanks so much to all who helped make this possible, Ted in Sebastian, Florida
Morten an other great video. Wildlife photography in the truest sence. No help from vehicles, no spotters, true wilderness and the ability to think on your feet and look after your self, much like being alone high up in the Canadian Artic which you have experienced. Great production value. Love the wonderful images of that fox in this video. Take care.
lovely music and scenery, fantastic job Morten,
Another wonderfull video Morten. Beautiful musical score too.
Another beautiful video from Morten, thank you.
Not only a fantastic video and photography but also the music you choose is always PERFECT...
I have absolutely loved this series. When I was a young man, I wanted to do what you are doing. Thank you for inspiring me to continue with my nature photography in my own way so I can help the world better understand the beauty in nature, and why it is so important that we protect it. Your series also gave me more confidence in my decision to purchase a Z9. It is the perfect wildlife camera, and it is apparently indestructable!
I don't know how you do it Morten. Every single time you touch my soul as nothing else does. Keep it up budy, there's none like you.
It´s unbelievable how good these videos are! That video recording of the artic fox is one of the cutest things I´ve ever seen!!! I wish the next episode was already online...
Masterpiece!! Thank you Morten.
