Was Antarctica Actually Worth It? (Our 7th Continent)
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
We first journeyed to Usuaya, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world, where we boarded Polar Latitude's newest expedition ship, the Ocean Albatross.
The Drake Passage is infamous and especially close to Cape Horn where it gets a bit shallow.
This is easily a new record for our longest travel day to reach our final destination.
We had such high expectations for this trip, and somehow they were so far exceeded.

We break down what we packed, the layers you need just to go outside, what a typical day on an Antarctic expedition looks like, and share our honest thoughts after visiting our seventh continent. This is the adventure of a lifetime — and one we’ll never forget.
