Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm standing here on the seventh continent Antarctica actually at the end of what has been an incredible trip that has just been cut short more on that later

it's my third trip to Antarctica and there was 183 of us on board

every single cruise coming to Antarctica is different because it's driven by Nature it's driven by Ice it's driven by what's happening

I've had an incredible time it's been absolutely amazing as you've seen what we've seen
