I love how you captured this. Bleak and haunting is often how I’ve experienced that part of the world, but rarely can describe how it really feels. It’s otherworldly while also feeling so familiar and serene. Thank you for taking us there with you. It was spiritual food.
Bleak, beautiful, mysterious. Thank you for sharing. You are so fortunate seeing wonders such as this one during your tour. Bleak but beautiful and mysterious and magical. I think it looks like the kind of place that should make us humble.
Wow. I want to go there SO badly-- always have. The little video brought tears. For now I'm enjoying your sharings so deeply. Thank you. I'm so happy that you got to see this beautiful, special place. What a wondrous planet we inhabit; I hope we get to keep it. I love it so much.
I filmed for the ending of the TV series Fortitude in Svalbard a few years back. An amazing place- as you say Patti- bleak in a musical sort of way. It’s devastating to think what may well happen there through global warming. When there I imagined landslides and the end of that incredible world seedbank. Simon Donald, who created Fortitude imagined cracks opening up and unleashing horrors that have been frozen for aeons…let’s pray not ❤️🩹
So peaceful and beautiful 💚 Love the sound of the water in the video. It gives a magic touch to the scenario 💙

Hello Patti,
I love the way you mess with my head (figuratively and literally).

Thanks Patti for all your outreach. Dave P
Awesome view! Wow!

I remember Svalbard featuring in Philip Pullman’s trilogy--his Dark Materials--
White fog and white reindeer, Svalbard is a beautiful sight.
Unfortunately, the fog is made of snow and ice that has melted due to global warming.
I was deeply moved by your love for nature that you traveled so close to the North Pole.
Rimbaud lived in the bloody days before and after the Paris Commune, and I wish he could have seen this scenery.
It's so magical that you go visit such wonders of the world!
Simply beautiful place
Stunning photos, love the snow on the peaks and enfolded in the crevices. The running water soundtrack and the swirling mists. Just beautiful 🙏
Fascinating! Thank you for thinking of us!
