Hey Chris, great video! I did always wonder about this. By the way, when you said "Soviet" submarine tunnels, did you mean "Nazi"? I don't think the USSR had anything to do with Norway, even in WW2.
@@Jaxie32 down south (Cornwall), mornings are usually really pretty and sunny. late afternoons and nights are horrible and (often icy) rainy. that's where it's at.
"We were experiencing some of the problems the extreme weather was causing..." *shows what looks like a few centimeters of snow* Oh you sweet innocent Englishman....
Antti Björklund In the southern US we have a phrase “Bless his heart.” Pretty much the same sentiment. I would just die, it was 28 degrees C today, I broke out the shorts and flip flops today.
@@ChrisinOSMS Yeah, and I've heard people in England complain that 28 is too hot… just last year, in fact. A few months later, I was in the suburbs of Sydney, and it got to 50°C.
I remember seeing the northern lights when I was younger, probably 4 or 5. I was in Lapland and it was the night before my parents wedding and me and my older sister spent hours staring at them. It was such a magical experience that I will never forget💛
Why hasn't the BBC picked you up to make content for them??? The quality of your content and delivery are absolutely perfect for educational content, especially for children and teens (and adults who remain "young at heart.")
Hi Half-Asleep Chris, You may have done this already very briefly but I think it would be mighty interesting if you made a bts video about your stop motion, your videos always display such clear effort and I can only imagine how long they take to make! Great content as always, ~from a loyal viewer :) sending love
This is a very cool video. I would definitely recommend this to my friends. I've been watching your channel for more than a year now and i always can't wait for another video to come out . Thanks Chris for all the entertainment you've given me.
Here in Greenland, we have an old folklore about Northern Lights that says the souls playing with whale skull and when children were out playing at late night, the Northern Light will descend and take their head and play with it instead. When I was a kid, we used to whistle to the Northern Lights to make them move, somehow they move and getting bigger, the longer and louder you whistle and we believed that they do descend and we run back home.
Looks like a great trip. I am in Canada and when I was a kid, like 10 or 12, the conditions were right one night in the winter that the Northern Lights could be seen as far south as Toronto. It was a wondrous sight and I hope to see them again. But, I must say, although you are not use to conditions as seen in your video, in my region of Canada this is the norm for winter. A few times we had a foot of snow and temperatures of -30 C were not uncommon. I love your videos and keep them coming. And, oh yes, our lovely Canadian money gets cold then too. LOL
I think seeing "amputation required" spelled out in Scrabble tiles really fulfilled some part of my life I didn't know existed. Also this video cemented my need to go to Tromsø and then north to Svalbard sometime soon.
As someone who lives in the equator seeing these whites scenery is really fascinating! We either got rain that is too hot and humid or scorching sun that is both hot and dry
I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska in the US for 3 years and the best time to see the northern lights is in August when it is starting to get dark again. The green ones are beautiful, but the red and purple ones are spectacular! 👍
I know a doctor from Fairbanks Alaska she moved to here in India this year in 3 years she’s moving back to Alaska her husband doesn’t even live with her he lives in New York City
I love this episode. I used to see lovely, colorful, dancing northern lights in Northern Minnesota when I was a kid. Not as beautiful as I’ve heard northern Norway can display, but amazing to my siblings and I. Thank you!
Awesome video, and glad you mentioned the different levels of aurora :D Back when I was in Lappland, we also only saw the "normal" ones you had photos of on the first days (and were kind of dissapointed) but a few days later the big ones came around and it was sooo magical, just like on the photos
7:35 - They're usually only green now because of pollution changing the composition of the atmosphere; they used to be all sorts of colors before but that's rare now. :-\
Happy you enjoyed your trip, would love to see the lights myself. I always forget how mild it is in the winter in England, -20 Celsius is -4 Fahrenheit, sadly get that every year or worse.
-20 is nothing here in Canada but this is one of the best videos I have ever watched and made it one of my life goals to go to Tromso in Norway to watch the Northern Lights and Orcas. Thank you Chris
Thanks for another great video from you two Chris. My wife and I are always looking forward to see it when a new one arrives. Yes the Northern Lights look quite different up in Tromsø than what we can see here 2-4 times a year from Northern Denmark, which is usually only a narrow band of the green color at the bottom of the horizon. The green color occurs when the charged particles of the sun hit an oxygen atom. I know it is also possible to see the Northern Lights down in Southern England a rare time, but i think it is incredibly rare.
Wow this video was a full on adventure! I don’t know why I love your videos but they are so entertaining and I love them! They’re all like mini adventures and OMG those waves would TERRIFY me
Thank you Chris, for inspiring us to go to Tromso! It was a fantastic vacation. We've seen the nortern lights! And yes the pictures are beautiful. Thanks from Marc, Michel, Matthijs, Viviane and Jan Thijs from Holland.
When he said -6 degrees, i was like "dang thats cold" and then i realized it was Celsius, and winters here often get there. Great video btw, always wanted to see the northern lights!
Hi Chris am Fredrik from Norway and i think its super cool that you have been to Norway. I found your youtube channel Just a half a week ago and i abselutly love your videos. I wish i cuod vissit England but am just 13 years old at the moment.
I've now seen them in Iceland where they were the most magical 5 hour vivid, swirling dance I've ever seen. Even with the naked eye they were extraordinary!! So very bright and vivid! Then ironically I just returned from Tromsø myself over Christmas. It was almost as magical there as well. A night I'll never forget as a photographer ...
That was just delightful. I've always kind of wanted to visit Tromsø and see the lights. As a Canuck the weather's pretty close to our "bad" winter weather (we will get -20C for several days a few times each winter) so that wouldn't be a problem. (I've already got the penguin outfit!!) Maybe some winter when things get calmer.
I live in the tropics... by choice. I was born in a temperate clime. But last night, I had to put on a little blanket and socks to keep me warm. Two nights per year that happens. Tonight is one of them and watching all that miserable weather made me feel twice as cold as normal!
I’m from the middle part of Sweden close to the mountains and we often have northern lights and especially when it’s colder than 15-C. One Christmas in 2018 we had one of those really bright one you see on those postcard like it was super bright green and dancing. I often forget how lucky I am to see them a couple of times every year
Hey you might never see this comment, but I absolutely love these vids. I think everybody including me loves your vids and will support you all the way to 1 million subs, the amount of people seeing these vids are just increasing so much, and it makes me happy and excited that more and more people are seeing these vids. Also great job on the stop motion. Each one I see I swear I can’t even help smiling once every minute, it’s just hard not to! I even remember seeing the tapir and thunderstorms vid. Keep up these videos up, when I’m sad and depressed these always cheer me up, and very entertaining to watch.
I seen the Northern lights from Belfast N Ireland a few years ago, they were faint but definitely recognisable. There was something unusual that year that brought them a lot further south than usual. It was probably five years ago.
How exciting! I would love to do something like that, however I get very easily see sick! I don’t think I could handle it. LOL. It looks like fun though.
Hi 😊 Would love to see Orcas at the sea... Never been to Norway, but have travelled a few times to UK. I have a decoration of Northern Lights theme at my home. Hehe, good humour in your video "... Normally, however, penguins do not go looking for Orcas" 🤣 and "Sun got stage fright before it even appeared" 😁😁 Thanks for a lovely video of you and Danielle 😊
