I'm hoping to take this trip one day (along with Patagonia), and you made the dream feel so much more real. Not that I'm surprised, because your videos helped keep me sane during pandemic isolation - but now, I'm more intent than ever to take this trip! Thank you.

[@shrestharath8627]

I commend how wonderful this video is in terms of giving the world a sneak peak into this precious place. But I cannot help think that this kind of content is what inspires more humans to visit and taking away from the pristineness of these places. Not only this feels like an extremely anthropocentric experience, but prioritises "getting the experience" over leaving these extremely precious biomes alone. All in all this video just broke my heart a little more about the humam×nature interaction.

[@badbojsen]

I just read a book about Ernest Shackleton who was an explorer in the early twentieth century. And seeing this video where you cross the Drakes Passage in this enormous ship, it is crazy that he did the same in a 12 feet long emergency boat filled with rocks, almost no food and water for after to mountains with only a rope, FOR then to start several rescue mission to save his crew that were stuck on a beach on Elephant Island in the Antarctics. Nobody died. And how the world have changed to today, my god 🙌
