[@JaminPRose]

What an amazing place! Thank you for sharing it's beauty!

[@kmonnier]

Quality! Love your videos

[@sleepyfoxyYT]

Watching videos is the closest I'll ever get to diving, thanks for taking us along on this adventure

[@chrisc3433]

Trip of a lifetime!

[@sailinglapero]

The whale shark omg! Looks like such an incredible place!

[@frankreidy5881]

What an adventure! Great production, script and your unbounded enthusiasm and energy. The S Pole was great- some heat on one’s back is exhilarating and diving is a thrill a second among nature’s wonders.

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!

[@NancyOlivas]

Such a cool video, thank you for sharing!

[@tyarter229]

Dude!!! This is great! I LOVED this trip. Your video brought back a lot of memories

[@aKaMumbles]

Love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing

[@StardustSJ_]

Thank you for this Joe! I'm fascinated by Antarctica so watching these videos definitely pique my interest.

[@gafrers]

Beautiful

[@rek8193]

Who the f- oh it’s the South Pole guy cool.

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

🤣 South Pole content is nearly gone (which makes sense since I haven't been for 2+years). Still got 1 or two videos in the queue though

[@LoFiSymphony]

Oh nice another longform video! I love how you make these. (The 3 parter at the south pole station brought me to your channel, loved those vids a lot)

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Thank you! Planning on making these regularly now

[@adventureswithjosie]

Dinosaurs and pirates! Sounds like a very cool place to visit lol! No but really, what a beautiful island and adventure!

[@kalrobbins2811]

Great video! Joe you are such a handsome man!

[@kmonnier]

Blacked out manta is sick!

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

All black everything!

[@55jhjhjkjk]

wow what a trip! i love the joy on your face 🙂 ! i was wondering if you are also interested in the subantarctic islands (like Auckland Island)?

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

I for sure would be. Getting there is the issue

[@55jhjhjkjk]

@@JoeSpinstheGlobe i learned about your Antartica after you returned from it. Will you ever go back for another mission?

[@EV87_]

So uhhhh when are you going back to that awesome South Pole station? That’s what I’m here for!

[@christopherbrown6732]

How do migratory fish even know where to go? Or do they just start swimming and stumble across this island and are pleasantly surprised

[@k-9thecat765]

A Rebreather would've been epic for viewing the Hammer-Heads...

[@Chet_Manly]

Question about Antarctica: Could someone who works there bring all of there physical media(books, movies, TV shows, etc.) to have a community library?

[@Cainula]

Which guide service did you go with?

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

Aggressor Adventures! I would recommend them, for this trip at least

[@elainerose8799]

When I saw the title I thought you meant Cocos (Keeling) Islands 😅

[@Gregemio]

Island, Pronounced as "Island", but it "Is land"... That always confused me.
