4 Reasons NOT to visit ANTARCTICA!

[@oceanborn21]

All these are THE EXACT REASONS why I want to visit Antarctica...

[@mistica-10]

I agree, lol

[@thom5255]

Exactly?????

[@alexbroere2669]

I think the most important one you missed. The drake passage. I've been to the antarctica and was lucky with perfect sunny weather. Animals everywhere. And a "calm" Drake. It's been the most impressive experience of my traveling ever.

[@nahide8461]

Are you traveler

[@Jeanology]

What month did you travel there?

[@sachabunniksglobaladventures]

So true, i did The Drake and it was 7 meter swells

[@garysteel3884]

I crossed in feb this year the swells were big but not unsafe

[@nataliegreen4551]

​@@garysteel3884Hi Did you buy the cruise online ? Greetings from Sardinia Island

[@getdusty1]

I could tell of an adventure my wife and I took on our 40th anniversary. We went to the middle of the globe; the Galapagos Islands and WOW!!! Did we ever learn a lot as well. There was a lot of hiking and we toured 6 islands. The boat's interior was very impressive and the dining room looked like it was fashioned from the Ritz Carlton or some such hotel. The fruit juices they offered you first thing in the morning were sweet enough to risk blood sugar problems for a diabetic. Yes, out-of-the-way experiences are a one-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm glad you liked it!!

[@debbiegibson3604]

My husband and I returned from Antarctica 3 days ago. We were lucky that it was never colder than 32 degrees during the day. Two days it was warmer by 10 degrees than where we live in Virginia. We were never cold because we were dressed properly. One day I was so warm I had to unzip everything and take off my gloves and hat. That was the day I could have reached out and touched a penguin on it's little head. I didn't, of course. The Drake Passage was BAD. My husband has been sailing all his life and wouldn't take seasick pills the first night. He was violently ill the next morning. Coming home he asked for the pills! This video was extremely informative for people thinking seriously of going. Great job!

[@anthonymcneill1465]

Spectacular, awesome, and beautiful! My first bucket list item is the Faroe Islands, Yellowstone National Park, and now Antartica! Thanks for sharing!

[@amybradley5821]

Live where it gets cold, going this year over Christmas and cannot wait! Going on Viking so no shared cabins or tables.

[@JennaFerrari]

Does the sunset or is it 24 hour sun

[@michaelkwan3244]

Wow.... Thank you for sharing your experience. After watching, I'd love to visit Antarctica.

[@kevindennert1646]

I guess traveling as a tourist is much different than my experience since I actually worked there for 6 1/2 months. The sun was up continuously for 24 hours and during the peak of “summer” from late Oct to mid Feb, the temperature was very doable with a sweatshirt or light jacket. A completely different experience to say the least. Penguins, seals, whales, were a daily occurrence. And the cold weather and extreme storms were the high point, after all its Antarctica not a sunny tropic island.

[@ScooterPoot]

I have 2 major reasons to go to Antarctica! Exterestrial technology and Old civilization ruins!

[@enocquezado8550]

You saw it there?

[@EbefrenRevo]

That or horrific creatures from eon pasts. Like in the "Montains of Madness".

[@qq84]

You aren´t allowed to independently explore Antarctica, so you won´t see them.

[@arturkvieira]

Indeed!

[@bremeartic8650]

@@qq84 Exactly.. But we know tho. Plus the PORTALS!

[@Mitzihunt1313]

Now what would happen if they flipped ur boat?

[@sylvesterherndon4737]

So awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@RaineManalacChin]

What month did you visit? and what ship did you go on?

[@javierramirez4722]

You should visit that ancien city found in antartica by ...CHILE EXPLORERS... the one the pentagon took over forbiding anyone to get near that area if you can

[@freeagent8225]

What language is spoken there ?

[@Hallucination]

Funny thing about Antarctica is it will be warmer there than where I live when I go. So it will be a nice break from my winter going during Antarctica's summer haha

[@lifebylinda]

Haha that's quite the paradox but a fun way to spend your winter I'd say 😄

[@Sushi2735]

Nah, the very last place on the earth I’d want to go! I already know I wouldn’t like it. I’m an introvert too and this does NOT look fun. Im so happy you lived through it all. I do enjoy lectures! I love to learn, just not with a mass of strangers. I love dogs, cats, a a few people. Definitely not cruise material!

[@craigroeser181]

I would love to go there!❤️

[@thisgarbageiscoralgable.88]

Go anyway. 😎

[@1389ann]

Eye opening video! Loved all the footage too. I agree more care should be applied to the rest of the world too!

[@itsstephie5492]

Great video! :) I never knew this about Antartica.

[@ginnielogan1834]

Please do Antarctica on a budget video...

[@lifebylinda]

Hi Ginnie, I did :) it's on my channel

[@LocoViajeroCatracho]

I saw all video loved it , but you're right but your never will forget that places when I watching the video I think when I was there , good video I'm your fan#1

[@lifebylinda]

Ah thank you so much! I'm glad I was able to share that with you 😁

[@ronaldelijah3988]

Admiral Byrd didn't find Antarctica you found the end of the Earth shortly after that operation Fishbowl began

[@mariedaloia6571]

I read this week that two passengers with Quark Expeditions died in Antarctica during a Zodiac excursion. They haven't released specifically what happened though. I wonder how they will address this in the future. Apparently the zodiac overturned. It had 6 passengers aboard and 2 crew. Two passengers died.

[@nicholaslawrence84]

The Viking Polaris also has a fatality now from a wave penetrating into indoor areas, plus several others with injuries.

[@nicholaslawrence84]

They already had a bladder on a Zodiak burst and a woman had a severe leg fracture, so they were rushing back to land in a storm

[@mariedaloia6571]

@@nicholaslawrence84 yes I saw this too. Terrible news. It all makes me rather more nervous for my forthcoming trip.

[@ronaldelijah3988]

Who tells you not to go somewhere

[@emerson6779]

did u get to keep your Parka?

[@lifebylinda]

No, that would have been a great souvenir! I think some of the expeditions do that though

[@rubyslipper3097]

Go with Quark and yes you do get to keep your parka.

[@timl5970]

Viking also lets you keep your parka.

[@ΤζένγκιςΧάαν]

Well I actually wanna go there to start a new country

[@dmmchugh3714]

Is there any concern over whales capsizing the zodiacs?

[@lifebylinda]

Not at all...they're very aware of the zodiaks and us, soeven if they come close, they know exactly what they are doing and don't have any malintent

[@bennysbandits4369]

Was there any flat earthers sneaking about 😳

[@_permanence]

No. 1: because it’s it’s the last pristine environment on the planet and we shouldn’t allow polluting and defecating cruise ships into it?

[@wingedbull1257]

You are in Freaking ANTARCTICA, what did you expect.

[@denzilreubendsouza6721]

Wow

[@isaias630]

Seen more Whales in Cabo Mexico than this video… 🙁

[@JesseStLouis]

Such awesome footage!

[@lifebylinda]

honestly such life changing moments... you need to go!

[@sachabunniksglobaladventures]

Wonderful vlog, love your style

[@chev0225]

What would have made that whale clip any better is if they had gotten close enough to touch one

[@lifebylinda]

They actually got that close to another zodiac but obviously you're not allowed to touch them :)

[@tvpier39docent]

sighs; it's cold, the weather might alter your experience, you are surrounded by other people, and wildlife behaves naturally (instead of predictably, they way they appear to you in a Zoo)? These 4 reasons are exactly the same whether you are trying to decide to go to a movie or play, attend a ballgame, visit a museum, go on a hike in the nearby woods, and even taking the day off from work to do some yard-work. Sadly naive, the fact is that anyone even considering a trip like this, regardless of the specific locale, faces the exact same decision-matrix. It's called "adventure tourism" for a reason. If any of these ostensible reasons give you pause about taking such a trip...I say listen to them since those feeble reservations mean that the trip is not for you. Stay at home and watch KZbin videos instead. Then ponder your own inability to deal with the unpredictability inherent to the world we live in when your internet connection goes down for a few days because your ISP just went bankrupt or your spouse forgot to pay that month's cable bill! 🙄🤔😔

[@rebeccaringler1265]

It's beautiful.

[@LovelornLoveThorns]

Hi! Do the whales never attempt to go at the boats? You were in what looks like such a small boat that I’m surprised they didn’t attack!

[@lifebylinda]

Not at all! They don't attack, and actually they are always very conscious of where we were :)

[@erictraveltea]

hello the antartica is very expensive but is the most amazing experience in yours life because the people dont have money for this trips in my case I am going to pay to antartic tour i LIVE in punta arenas chile is my final trip in my life I ve travelled around the world the antartic is my final continent that I should go to antartic . I am going to go to antartic in hurtigruten expeditions in 2025 the price is cheap in comparation the others ships jajaja 8.000 usd i can pay this price , the other prices is very crazy expensive jaja 20.000 usd noooo i prefer save this money for my home.

[@freeagent8225]

Greenland is much better as it has people.

[@qq84]

5fth reason: You would see that there is an indestructible dome above us and it will destroy your world view... if you would be allowed to explore the area independently. 4:44 cell phone videos don´t have standard play, never had. ...but it shows "SP" in the "cell phone video" for some reason. 7:21 "needs to be regulated" - no independent travel/exploration is allowed. ... since 1959, where no government had any alleged concerns about the environment. 7:25 thank you for my daily NLP-brainwashing.

[@arturkvieira]

This

[@MWG38]

You remove your gloves just to show how much cold it is,it's not a reason for someone not to visit Antartcica. It's the best place ever to see in your lifetime. The better the more expensive, but i wouldn't care about it

[@johnnyanderson3287]

What? You mean I won’t be able to kill a penguin and put it on a grill??? 😂
