Creator's Key Takeaways

Antarctica is every bit as amazing as you've heard.

The food was uniformly good wherever we went and whenever we went.

I always felt the HX team did a great job with his balance.

It really is a special feeling the first time you're standing on land in Antarctica.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

In March, 2025, we cruised on an expedition ship from Ushuaia to the Seventh Continent (which was my personal 6th Continent). This video will show you the MS Fridtjof Nansen, a wonderful ship, and show you our week spent as far south as I am likely ever to be. Antarctica is every bit as amazing as you've heard. Penguins, whales, and seals await in a land where quiet gets a new meaning. But would the fear-inducing Drake Passage make us regret it all?
