  • I went to a part of the Arctic called Svalbard to photograph landscapes, what I got was much more incredible than I had hoped for! Waterfalls, minimalism, ice fields, and incredible wildlife encounters!

    First, the production of this video is absolutely excellent.
    Second, I cried my eyes out twice-at the waterfall spilling over the ice shelf, and at your encounter with the walrus. I had to stop the video each time and let myself sob … because such a trip is my oldest dream. As a child I wanted a polar or Arctic voyage. That dream has been with me the longest in my life. Now at 78 I am unable to travel. Thank you, Mads, for bringing it to me.

    • @ingabett
      @ingabett Před rokem +1

      So well said! Also cried over the walrus photo, it was something in his way of looking back to the humans. Maybe I’m just being sensitive because of all the things happening in nature right now, it makes me so sad. I also wish I had magic skills so that I could help you make that trip! Cried even more when I read your text 😅. We are lucky to at least have Mads making these beautiful videos, taking us along to experience this wonderful world we live in 🩵

    Having watched Thomas Heaton's Svalbard series and knowing you were heading here Mads, I knew you would share some epic content from your trip and man did you start off your series with a bang. With the current extreme weather conditions across the globe, your video is such a timely reminder of the fragility of this beautiful and diverse planet we live on. Cannot wait to see next week's installment

    I have been to Spitsbergen,Iceland and Greenland on 3 occasions over the year's but only on cruise ships but on each of the occasions Spitsbergen was different especially the magdalena fjord which had less ice each visit, also sailed through ice that on one occasion stopped the ship docking because of possibly getting trapped ,also saw Walrus but your photography blows me away and makes me want to bin the ones l took with a small camera in auto mode. Learn a lot since then and use a old but better camera and no longer use auto mode, regret not changing year's ago Brilliant video outstanding pictures thank you

    When the valves go it’s usually the motor or most often the relay so I just change them. The relays are often under rated so I fit a higher rated one, and after that they don’t fail. I guess it’s manufacturers saving on pennies.

Some great shots you got there too. Svalbard looks fantastic!
