  • The first snow has fallen here on Svalbard which means that winter is just around the corner! I head into Longyearbyen to show you guys a bit more of the village, and also sort out and speed clean the entire cabin. VERY satisfying!

    Im a new subscriber love your content and one thing I really appreciate is that you credit the creators of your audio content. So often youtubers dont do this and I really feel that it is an oversight because the audio adds so much to the viewers experience of the videos and not to credit the incredible talent of these creators is terrible so thankyou for that. :)

    I love how you described the galaxy, most of my friends just don’t understand how close and clear the sky gets far away from the cities. It’s like you can jump in ❤️

    • @CeciliaBlomdahl
      @CeciliaBlomdahl  3 года назад +17

      It really is! It feels like the stars are SO close and they are everywhere, all the way down to the horizon! 🧡⭐️

      @charlesmartin1121 3 года назад +1

      Ah one thing I would point out is winter is the worst time in the Northern Hemisphere for viewing the Milky Way. During winter the earth's nighttime skies are oriented in opposition to the galactic center. In any case, the Arctic is one of the worst places to view the Milky Way even in summer, both because of round the clock daylight and the fact that the core in Sagittarius is either at or beneath the southern horizon. If spectacular views of the galaxy is what you seek, winter in the Southern Hemisphere is by far the best. Still there is lot's to see in northern fall/winter skies like the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies.

    Sunsets are a glimpse of heaven....Cleaning is a passion of mine..I even went onboard with Merry Maids in Maryland years ago which I loved. Started being a Mom and housewife in 1975 so cleaning is perfected after 46 years. Instant gratification. I had the Royal push vacuum and hung out all our clothing. Planning weekly meals and purchasing all the food. I had one full day for all the families ironing. Kept a tight ship with love for all 24/7. Nothing like being a home decorator also to make it all cozy. There's no place like home...no matter where you live.....and always enjoy the scenery out one's windows..;)

    Cecilia, I am watching this episode for the first time, about a year after you filmed it! And I loved it! I love how you and Grim enjoy thd change of seasons! Although you are quite obviously very different from where I live in The Mid-Atlantic Region of The United States, like us, you too enjoy the change of seasons! I am very much in love with our change of seasons as well!
    And yes, there is always housework to do! I enjoy doing it as well!
    I always chuckle when you put different clips on fast forward! I have been watching your channel for several months now and have fallen in love with all of you and with your country of Svalbard and your town of Longyearbyen! Have a great day!

    The scenic photos are so magical and poetic! The snow-dusted mountain view from your office desk (16:18)... I was in awe of them. I see them all the time in the background of your videos, but not at that angle; it really portrayed the hugeness of them. I mean, I understand that all the mountains in Svalbard are monumental but I can't really comprehend/grasp the true scale. I really hope to visit someday and then I will be able to fully appreciate their beauty. Thank you for sharing your part of the world!
