It is COLD! We have had weeks of freezing temperatures here on Svalbard, which is lovely, but also has a way of ruining my adventure plans. On one of our snowmobile trips, we drove in -36° 🥶 I hope you enjoy this video, an update on what we have been up to. Thank you so much for being here, love y'all byeee! ✨

Manta Sleep is a life saver for me. Sleeping when the night isn’t dark. You two will love them
Thanks for answering my dog poop question! The sunset at 21:00 reminds me of the live wallpapers I used to download to my work computer in the early 2000's to make my day less mind-numbingly boring.
I guessed 10,30
Thank you for always posting such incredibly beautiful videos ❤❤❤
Cecilia! I highly recommend the Manta Sleep Mask Pro for a better night sleep! Love your videos 🙂
Christoffer suddenly popping in with some David Attenborough vibes, telling us about the reindeer 🤗❤️
Favorite part!
Amazing detail+ Grim's tail 🥰🐾🫶 Cecilia never stops to amaze me positively 🤗
I love this comment! And Cecilia has the best laugh!
It was great to see Christoffer so happy with his new kick!
Nice that it has a rolling pin so he can prepare a tarte on the way
Right, he's kid on Xmas with new toy
@@Judep4237 I noticed that rolling pin looking handle!!
Yes adorable!
I've been following you for over a year now, and I never wrote a single comment here (kinda rude of me) I guess I'm a serial procrastinator. But I've decided from now on, I'm gonna let people who inspire me know how a single word can change the negative view I have towards the place where I live, and instead of complaining (from windy and cold days in my case), to "bundle up" as you said today, tie my hair very strong, put the leash on my dogs, and go for a walk...and breath!
I never liked the place where I live (and born and raised here) Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut, Patagonia Argentina, but I'm starting now to see the positive things here...and there are plenty! So thank you Cecilia for being an inspiration and reminding us to enjoy the little things in life!❤️🤗
That is a great start to a positive change! Your comment caught my eye because, ironically, I am paying thousands of US dollars to come see Patagonia this year.
I could definitely live Cecilia's way of life, I'm from a very hot country and have moved as far south as I can (Hobart Tasmania) next stop Antartica. I've always wanted to visit Patagonia for a very long time. I think the more remote we are these days the safer we feel.
I appreciate where I live more because of Cecilia as well. I especially am more mindful of the sky.
Interesting that the sea is not frozen anymore. It was frozen a few weeks ago, right?
Patagonia wow you need a channel would love to see more of that country!
I love Grim’s tech support ads!
So funny, right! I thought same thing
Cutest dog on the internet
@@yureituesday I agree, only because my dog isn't on the Internet, it's a parent thing. Luv Grim!!!
i donr
It’s so refreshing to see you, Christoffer, and Grim enjoying the weather where you live. I live the Midwest of the US. Everyone complains so much, never satisfied with the weather on any given day. Too hot, too cold, it’s raining, it windy, etc. We need to learn from you three, take it a day at a time, and find the beauty around us every day.
I get it! I live in London, rainy, sunny, all over the place! What I DO like though is I have family in Sweden and to have a few months of snow is great! Unlike just rain in London lol
Cecilia, you are my Sunday morning zen! Love your videos!❤
Yay! Thank you! 🧡🧡
Christoffer’s voice is so soothing when he was talking about the reindeer. He could narrate an audio book. 😊
I love how Grimm comes into the cabin and turns right around at the mention of the word hug and goes straight to you, as happy as could be. Sometimes it looks like he wants to jump up on you but something holds him back. If he did jump on you, he would hug you right back, I'm sure!
Realized today that I even take Grim for granted. He is so beautiful and such a loving companion. As he ages he won't be able to do all these things. Give him a hug from us!
😲 Good grief, sometimes some thoughts are as well left unsaid.
I'm sure Christoffer is Santa! I saw it when he took his new ride for a spin down the tundra. Missed all three of you last week. What a beautiful new video! ❤
Amazing how many of us missed Cecilia last weekend.
The glaciers are just beautiful and majestic. Love you all.
"I love to feel the elements".
You're the only person I know so far who's used that expression - beside me. :)
It makes perfect sense. It is exhilarating to feel the elements.
Honestly that's what I said when East Tennessee hit -20C one time and I walked out there barefoot and in shorts and a t-shirt for a few minutes. It feels great in such a weird way.
Admittedly I don't appreciate 40C nearly as much. I might try embracing the wild heat this summer.
@@tiryaclearsong421
It does feel great - you feel so ALIVE, with every cell of your body and mind.
You are just the sweetest and most optimistic woman I know of! Your videos always make me smile, and I find them a bit of calmness and comfort when I watch them each week. I watch regularly but, even my husband enjoys them once in awhile. Ive also learned so much about Svalbard, and am amazed at your guys' resilience in such harsh conditions; you make it look like so much fun, even in the bitter cold! Thank you for sharing this with us!
The chart showing no more sunsets or rises is wild. Love that you included it.
Christoffer is so creative cutting the snow. Love it and him on the sled. Always love seeing you in a cabin trip.😊
What a joy you must be to live with. You have such a totally positive personality. As lilting as your voice.
Thank you for that amazing turquoise of the ice, for the pale rose and almost purple sky and for the most beautiful sunset i have seen in a while. So happy to see all of you again, much love!
Oneday, I'm gonna stay in a cabin for a week, surrounded by snow. I've never experienced real snow like this. I love watching your channel because its vastly different from where I live in Queensland Australia🇦🇺
The spectacular colors in the sky going into midnight sun don’t disappoint. The year round beauty is stunning
Great job keeping everyone safe with your computer skills Grim, and what a great typer you are,lol
We missed you last week! Glad you’re back! I can’t get enough Svalbard even after going there 😊
We all did miss last Sunday. Great today!
@@stevenutepass7671greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 and rural living! ( channel)
You can’t imagine how much I enjoy your videos, they are relaxing ❤
Yes, a food haul, please! Would LOVE that!
The only channel I wait for the advertisement with Grimm so much ❤❤❤
We love it when Christopher is speaking in the videos. Go Christopher! Cecilia you are great and Grim i just a pleasure to watch!
Good morning. I'm still laughing from Cecelia yeeting Grim's poop 💩😂😂😂
Grim is the cuddlest dog I love his adventures with you
I'm in California so your videos transport me to the North Pole almost like a big wake up call! Ha! It gets very comfy in warmer climates but also can make one more 'soft'. I do come from a Northern climate in the UK and so I feel more Viking than my current American counterparts. Love that you take time to show us all. Thank you.
Grim is one beautiful dog!
I live in the northeast corner of Wyoming, USA and we are in the middle of a winter storm that has 30-35mph winds and is supposed to drop 12-16 inches of snow on us by Monday morning. The whole area is closed pretty much to road travel. Temperatures are 33°F with wind chill of 17°, not even as cold as you all are. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I look forward to your videos every week!
It’s great to see Christoffer chatting more in the vlogs , loved your video, such beautiful scenery and amazing sunsets 😊❤. Xx
Love that you’re taking in personal health and hygiene. You’re such an inspiration!
The glaciers are stunning! The pink and blue sky is just gorgeous.
Your videos are so beautiful, Cecilia! Would you ever consider doing a video or a short about the wildlife on Svalbard? I'm so curious about the wildlife and plant life there, and how your community protects it.
YES THIS!!
That weather is like Januaryin Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Froaen eyelashes and hair. You feel pain before you ever get cold.It is never like that here in Toronto. Hi Grim.
It is definitely a January February kind of weather in Wniipeg🥶
Watching this vlog in Poland in first April's weekend, in 26 degrees, sunny, summery weather (that will last the next two days). We also had 3 summer days up to 25 last week (in March), but they were a bit strange, because we had a dust storm from the Sahara, so there was no sun, only dirty, yellowy, orange'y mist. The sun was only visible for a moment, as if it was a moon. It was warm, very, very windy, but the wind was warm, so still it felt like a summer. We spend those days on activities outside.
This year, summer is coming pretty fast. Usually such days happen in middle of July, rarely earlier, but on the end of the March and beginning of April is something new! I won't complain.
I guess, the cold must stay somewhere, for other places to be warm...
Happy Sunday with a peaceful beautiful video with Cecilia and Christoffer and Grim!❤
Sunday coffee and Cecilia. 🥰 missed you last week. All feels right with the world now. That sunset was so beautiful. You have the wonderful ability to motivate me to get up and move and make sure I get MY steps in. Thank you for that. You’re wonderful. Hi Christoffer! 👋🏻 and Grim ❤
It’s so nice to see a dog in the right environment for their breed
Oh my gosh that sunset at the end of the video was so breathtaking it brought me to tears.
Thanks again Cecilia, Sundays are my reset day with you, Grim, Christopher. Glad your staying warm, last Sunday was understanding too cold, stay warm. You put great time into this Sunday video!
I do live off grid at 9,000' Colorado mountains, have home made kick sled, American Akita "Grim" type, heat wood, past two days snow and high winds here, no worries just enjoy.
So enjoy your videos!
Anytime Cecilia says “it’s cold!” I know it’s C-O-L-D!! Freezing!!!
I enjoy my Sunday coffee while I watch your precious family! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Watching you chuck the 💩 was hilarious! Loved the sunset too, wow! I am amazed by your tolerance for the cold!
Love the beautiful colors outside!!! And the nicest is when you walk on the snow - love that crack! Cannot get enough of it when we visit Norway ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the gorgeous views and experiences you share with us.
Winter (and Autumn) are my favorite time of year, so as we move towards our summer which will be hot and humid, I will be turning to your channel a LOT for that distant breath of winter air and snow!
You show so many wonderful relaxing scenes of coffee and outdoor play and joy, that i don't think a lot of us realize the amount of dedicated hard work and skills you put into content creation to bring us these wonderful moments. You work HARD! I hope that the process is something you enjoy.
This video though! Reindeer! Walruses! The sound of artic foxes! That wonderful kick conveyance! The -81° when snow mobiling! 😮 You and Christopher using rope to slice the snow pile! And of course...Grim! Please tell him just how much we all love him and his precious antics! Give him an extra hug for me!
I have come to realize that life is made up of experiences that we all should seek to make the most of. Maybe most of us don't have a Svalbard, but each and every place has its own beauty to be lived in everyday and you inspire us to seek our own adventures!
And by sharing the beauty of Svalbard you also bring us into that experience with you!
Thank you so much for all you do, always!
I love you've lived there so long and you still walk out and say "WOW".
Always feel calm and relaxed watching your videos. Stay warm😊
I can see why you live that cabin, absolutely stunning.
Christopher what a fun sled. I want one.
I would rotate to a dark blue rugs, furniture covers etc.. it might help with the midnight sun season.
Stay warm❤
What an enjoyable way to spend a little time on Sunday morning. Love your positive attitude 💕
Anyone else start to say the “oi yoi yoi” thing that Cecilia does? Just me?
2:01 I absolutely love the sight of a cold ocean with swirling winds and swiveling waves. Dark murky humid chill is awesome. Probably this is the best sight of the ocean I have seen in your channel so far. Me being a pluviophile makes this an easy pick.
Have a wonderful week Cecilia, Christoffer, & Grim 🐾💖.
Love your passion for your beautiful winter wonderland! You put Svalbard on the map for so many of us and you should be honored (Grim and Christopher too) and presented with the keys of the Island ❤🤩💕🥰
You, Christoffer, and Grim are the absolute best to follow. Thank you.
My favorite Sunday treat from my favorite CZcams channel!
Yay, Cecilia day 🥳😊
"First one for cristopher "(white)proceeds fiving him the second one(green cup) with the better coffee art❤😊
I'm in Minnesota and every Sunday I so look forward to your beautiful uploads. Have a wonderful magically amazing day😺
I never get tired of seeing you or this amazing simple life on Svalbard. You invite us into your day/s, and it feels warm, like a good catch up with a friend. I can't believe how quickly the seasons change. Gorgeous long views we get to have too, dreamy music. So so good. - K
You know it's cold when the snow squeaks under your feet 🥶❤
Watching Christoffer on the sled was fascinating. Another beautiful video thankyou.
Your narrative with the videos is poetic.
Best midnight sun season ever??? Can't wait.! I've never loved commercials so much...TY Grim! Stay warm, guys, good excuse to drink plenty of coffee. XoX
I live for Grim paid advertising videos! 😂 I absolutely love your shopping excursions to see the price comparisons from here & there. Can't wait for that video to come! That sled y'all bought in Sweden is pretty cool!
Marianna 🙂💜💜
Loved today's fab video! Missed you all last week! Gorgeous scenery there! Thanks for sharing it with us! Looking forward to next week's installment now! All the best from Albania. 💜🤗
These videos give me a moment of calm on Sundays
Yay, a new video! I never get tired of these beautiful landscapes, Grim and your stories!
My morning Svalbard!
Grim's coat looks majestic
Christoffer is doing well talking about al kind of things. I like that too.
That was great fun. Thank you Cecilia❤
I love the rolling pin handle on the new kick!!!
Thank you for sharing your days, I see you have a new coffee machine, I truly appreciate your photography and narration.
I’ve been watching your videos a few months. I love remote places. While not as remote as your location, I enjoy living in our log home in a small Mongolian town. Thanks for sharing your breathtaking views with us!
I cannot put into words how much peace i get from watching your videos. Some days they are the only content i have the patience to watch. Eternally grateful to you Cecilia for sharing your beautiful life. Also, i'm not sure if you read or reply to these messages but i would love to know which make and model your walking pad is please? Much love to you. xx
The skies are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing them with us!
Happy Sunday and thank you guys for another really great video! ❤
This video had everything I love about your channel: crazy cold mixed with inside coziness.
Beautiful video as always Cecilia! The glacier is breathtaking!
It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Very happy to see that Grim is fine!! Amazing Svalbards. Thank you for sharing ❤
I was born and raised in south Florida, I could never stand that cold but I Love watching your videos. The snow and the mountains and the ice is amazing. I think the snowmobiles would be a lot of fun. Thank you for all the interesting information and beautiful sights of Svalbard.
I loooved the narrative style of this vid. Amazing job Cecilia!
Thank you for your window into a beautiful world. Appreciate you!

Love your cabin adventures. And Christoffer’s ice steps. The 10:30 pm scenery is stunning. The light so unique. Thank you again.
The hues at sunset were absolutely gorgeous to see. Watching beautiful Grim against the white of the snow was so beautiful also. Thank you for sharing, Cecilia!
Thank you Cecilia!
I love when the mountains look like a fine art painting. ❤
Happy Sunday.. Coffee and Grim what more can I ask for. And it's finally nice here in Sudbury. After all those winds and snow ❄️❄️ hail and rain all week. Blessings ❤
