NOPE

Fair counterpoint

[@adrianajanutka6446]

Blown away by the quality footage, narrative, and graphics. Love me some analepses. Big fan of polar plunge and gentoo penguin shart sound effect.

[@loisraymcinnis6006]

The snow is so clean and white and the sky is so bright and blue.

[@ViajePorConta]

We're getting ready to explore Antarctica next week and this video is by far the best we've seen. Simply spectacular. Exquisite and exciting work. Congratulations.

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

Thanks, and enjoy!

[@incorectulpolitic]

Dont worry, you will not be allowed to explore really interesting stuff... like the DOME of the flat earth... or the corridors to visit other ponds with continents. That is for the elite, not for the scum slaves.

[@kayladawn]

My favorite part was when the blonde lady said "we are enjoying the journey on the way there"- and that is how all the life should be... just enjoying the journey because that's all we have. A journey ✨ ♥

Thank you for an exceedingly well done video. We were on a South American cruise in Jan Feb 2018 and spent four days in the area which you were. It is easy and enjoyable to see and hear how others have had some similar experiences.

[@monicalifornia_]

Love how this is edited. Entertaining and educational.

[@hemming57]

Two things you should know, 1) if you're on a budget there are kiosk's along the docks in Ushuaia where you can get fairly inexpensive ($5000) tickets for the ship that have empty berths. You may have to wait a bit. 2) If you want to see tons of wildlife, don't go to the mainland, but to South Georgia Island.

[@CS-np5bm]

Excellent , Thank you

I can’t believe with your quality work and editing expertise, you don’t have million subscribers. Watched your Antarctica video and by far no one Vlogger has filmed Antartica in this much detail. I did not have this good of an idea about what to expect if we plan for Antartica. This was NatGeo level sh** 😎. I already started to think where to fly my drones, what shots to capture and if you had used Insta360 cameras under water. Thank you for this great share sir!

[@davdffd]

[@leokaloper4132]

But, can you see OUR peace and love towards nature ? Remember the Ozone hole ? It started just down there, guess who caused it. Penguins and whales ?

Very good documentary. Perhaps it might be more interesting if we were able to watch more whales, but it is not your fault. I like the experience. The excursion was great, they did everything. Sleeping with elephant seals close was quite an experience. Penguins are exciting. Truly nice! Thank you for the information.

[@jlpdemail3715]

I just returned from Antarctica where we did scenic cruising in the Schollart Channel, Paradise Bay, and Elephant Island, and it was life changing; however, I feel guilty about having any sort of environmental impact as a tourist there. I will never go back, as I want it to remain pristine. I will always have videos like this one to watch when I start to miss it.

[@markmcdaniel3572]

I have s very similar trip planned and am wondering if you can please elaborate the full spectrum of camera gear that you used to produce this magnificent work. I am wondering about the mix of cameras, traditional versus action (gopro type) versus cell phones. I am assuming that this was not all done on a gopro, but maybe a mix. If you used a traditional camera, what lenses did you use? An answer would be a tremendous help for my planning. Thanks, and congratulations on your trip and on this outstanding documentary of it. This will be really nice to look back on in your later years. Regards, Mark McDaniel
