What a fantastic video. I love that you show regular people going about their lives on Svalbard, like the restaurant employees, kids on bikes and playing outside, and people with dogs and kids. Also, the narration was excellent and the camera work very easy to see and follow. Thanks so much for sharing! I live in the US and have painted many scenes from Svalbard and would love to go there.
Thank you so much for your kind words Julia ☺️ Glad you enjoyed the video, but I hope you do get to go because pictures and video do not do justice to the majestic scenery of the area. It is truly inspiring!
That's awesome! That time of the year is the shoulder period between polar night and midnight sun, so you will probably be getting almost day long sunsets 😀 I'm sure you will have a wonderful time!
@@peterhedberg9528 @Kartik Doonite If you are interested, the email of the guide that gave us the driving tour (posted separately) is jil@janergie.de. She was really nice and fun.
Yes, the reindeer was adorable and now I'm even more glad I got to see one! At the time I thought it would be the first of many because they told us they are common in Svalbard, but it was the only one I saw. It was an absolutely amazing trip, so no complaints 😉 we got to see seals, walruses, and many polar bears. Plus the place itself is magnificent, so yes, we were very lucky and blessed!
Wow! Thank you very much! I visited Morocco a few years ago and had a wonderful time. Very colorful and interesting country. My friend got some amazing bargains that she still enjoys. The tree climbing goats in Essaouira were memorable and the fresh oysters were the best I've ever had🤗
Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα καλά σου λόγια! Στο εύχομαι καί εγώ να πας. Όλη η περιοχή εκεί είναι υπέροχη και αξέχαστη. Φαίνεται να έχεις την αγάπη για εξερεύνηση γι'αυτό πιστεύω θα τα καταφέρεις!
brought back memories i stayed in that hotel before setting off on my trek the North Pole i skied the last degree to 90 north! i plan to live here one day. i was there in april 2014 but it was snowing and very cold
Wow! That's so impressive! Congratulations on your accomplishment. I'm sure you are in a very special small group that can say they have done that. It must be wonderful to have that memory 🤗
Exceptionally excellent video of a different world . In which month u went there sir and what was the temperature then ? I wish I could've gone there ever .
Thank you very much! We went in August and it was in the 50s. Comfortable with a jacket. It sounds like you love exploring so I believe you will go one day 🤗
It was the port for our Svalbard expedition, so we spent time before and after the cruise, but didn't stay overnight. I think it would be very interesting to spend at least a couple of days there, especially during the time of the year that one can experience the northern lights, snowmobiling, dog sledding, and things like that. Longyearbyen has a laid back vibe that was very pleasant. Enjoy 🤗
Morocco is a country of generosity, hospitality, security and safety. Welcome you and your family here in the city of Beni Mellal, an area known for its mountains, waterfalls and stunning nature. If you wish to come, welcome and a thousand welcome, my dear.
It's a dinosaur. There have been many prehistoric discoveries in Svalbard, including a complete skeleton of a unique species named Ophthalmothule cryostea. So the dinosaur sculpture at the kindergarten playground represents that history. The kids seem to love it 🙂
You do not need a visa to live and work in Longyearbyen. They only require that you have the finances to support yourself, so either have a job lined up or enough funds until you do.
Try facebook.com/groups/vacantes.svalbard/ and finn.no, which is a Norwegian job and sales platform. Things are a little tight right now due to the recovery of the pandemic, but keep trying. Best of luck!
I think that will be the beginning of the polar night! It will be a wonderful new experience. I hope you will be able to see the Northern lights 😊 Best of luck!
Unfortunately, we did not have time to visit Pyramiden. The boat tours from Longyearbyen take almost the whole day, which would be great if I had the time. The abandoned Russian settlement sounds very interesting and mysterious and the place is supposed to be exquisitely preserved for an almost ghost town. You never know... Maybe next time, if I'm lucky 🤗
