As a photographer for 50 years, I can say the images on your videos are superb. The mood you convey is heartwarming and it draws your viewers into your world of peace and calmness. Thank you.

“Why is life so hard sometimes ‘😂😂😂. National Geographic quality filming, beautiful ✨

Brushing Grim is a family affair 😂 This channel has been a cozy corner for me since 2021. ❤

I'm laughing....you brushing Grim, he's like putty in your hands. He's loving it. He's huge with all his winter fur. Love on that baby. ❤ Your channel

To anyone who hasn’t read her book..you’re missing out. It’s as inspiring & insightful as her videos. It makes you wanna move to Svalbard & hang out with her 😊

[griselapuerta]

Oh my God, Grim is just beautiful. He turns into a baby when you are brushing him. You just want to hug him for being so handsome.😅

Your ecological summary of the tundra was absolutely perfect!! I'm in the field of natural resources and I specialize in ecology and climate change, it always warms my heart to see content creators who share about the environment and the beauty of nature ❤

Your videos are so soothing to watch. Never any shouting or loud music. Just gentle guitar and talking

[EmilyBGates]

Thank you for naming the native plants of the tundra I love this!❤

Yes, I totally remember your pre- cabin expansion days - taking your laundry to your friend's apartment in the village. The whole cabin expansion saga was so fascinating, as well - how building materials got to the island, and to the site.

I recently got into building miniatures. I just finished building a kit that reminded me of your cabin, so I hung two "sheets" on the railing as a tribute to my favorite youtuber. PS The only Cecelia I ever "knew" before you was my grandmother.

Grimm having snuggles with daddy while mommy brushes him. 🥰 Then relaxes into spa mode when he’s getting his belly brushed. Love it…💕

[GeanieG]

Cecilia, I have to say that I believe you found the most kindhearted, loving, stable, strong, capable man you could have asked for. Love watching Christoffer with you and Grim. And yes, they are both lucky as well, to have you! So relaxed watching this video. 💜

[missmary]

This could become a Grim grooming channel, and I would be absolutely enthralled! Haha! He is such a cutie pie ❤

[swtsoph]

I remember the original cabin when you had no water. Christoffer was much more shy back then. It's been lovely seeing him grow more comfortable with the camera. Love you guys and Grim! 💕

Your videos are the perfect antidote to my summertime blues. I've never liked summer, not even as a kid. I hibernate in the air conditioning as much as possible and just wait for it to be over. I find the heat, humidity, and longer days really oppressive and I live for autumn and winter. Yesterday our "real feel" temp was 118°F - and we're in a mid-atlantic state, nowhere near the south. I would give anything for a rainy day that's 41°F, a fire in the fireplace, and needing to wear a jacket, but your video allows me to experience that and remember that better days are coming. Thank you a hundred times for that! ❤

And yes, I was here during your days in the original cabin! Loved watching the new space take shape.

I'm currently watching, hoping/waiting to get discharged from the hospital! Normally you keep me company when I make coffee and clean up the kitchen. You're always an awesome and calming person to listen to!

[CheesyCat]

Cecilia, you and Kristoffer are nice, and Svalbard is pretty cool, but the REAL reason I watch your videos is because of Grim! 😂He is just the cutest, sweetest, bestest Boi!! ❤❤

[kepckatherinec]

The axe handle breaking right before you finished chopping! That’s so ironic. Thank goodness you had a second axe. I loved this video of peaceful Svalbard life on a gloomy day. It may have been gloomy weather-wise, but you made the day warm and peaceful. You certainly brightened my day! Thank you, Cecilia.
