How to get to Antarctica - Episode 1

[@EmilyOrriginal]

Wow wow wow. That first peak through the tiny window actually made me tear up. I could only dream of visiting Antarctica because I have a chronic illness, but thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. ♥

[@ArielWaldman]

I'm so touched to hear that because that's exactly how I felt in the moment and I do want to share as much of this as I can. I know how much of a privilege it is to go to Antarctica and IMO a responsibility to convey/share it in a meaningful way with others. More to come.

[@EmilyOrriginal]

Ariel Waldman thank you for understanding that honestly. I had to even leave school and my animal science program because of my disability. It’s hard. And It means the world to me that people go out of their way to share these wonderful experiences with us back at home. Not to mention all the science goodness. ❤️ I can’t wait for more.

[@aadityasonwane7067]

I hope you're healthy right now. Good luck to you and may God bless you

[@MultiNacnud]

From the south pole telescope looking at supermassive black holes to Ariel Waldman looking at microscopic lifeforms . Let's hope Antarctica remains unsullied for future generations to enjoy.

[@ArielWaldman]

Indeed.

[@benshapiroeatscrack8865]

It’s melting so.

[@benshapiroeatscrack8865]

I mean the South Pole won’t exactly be the South Pole after it completely melts because of human decision

[@shepherdbook]

There is just a certain rhythm to your film! I feel more curious already! Love that attitude of yours!

[@ArielWaldman]

Thank you! That all makes me so happy to hear :)

[@johnwolf7073]

this looks so awesome experience, i am very happy for you ! :) love from greece! :p

[@ArielWaldman]

Thank you! It was incredible. Hi from San Francisco!

[@cpypcy]

From looking at Adam Savage tested crew found this great channel!

[@gregneri]

Nice to see this again. I went the year before with the AAW grant and stayed a bit at Lake Hoare and other places. Your video does a nice job of capturing it all.

[@VincentGroenewold]

I actually lived in Christchurch when you were there, I drove past the airport many times seeing those aircraft and dreaming about going on them. :) Awesome to see what you actually did.

[@ArielWaldman]

Oh, wow! Even though I had been to Christchurch once before, it wasn't until this time that I really grasped just how much of the city is centered around being a portal to Antarctica.

[@VincentGroenewold]

It kind of is indeed, many know about it, many don’t, but these planes are hard to miss and ask questions about when driving past. :) Thanks again for sharing your experiences!

[@katesmith9291]

@@VincentGroenewold Hi Vincent, Each year usually around the end of Sept/early Oct, there is an Antarctic Deep Freeze Open Day @ CHC where U.S.A.F. C.17 Globemasters are open to the public. Depending on operational requirements, there may be a R.N.Z.A.F. C-130 Hercules etc. They have a new system for this day - free tickets were available through Evenbrite a] for flight deck and b] back only. They allocated x# of tixs per 30 minutes - NO alteration.

[@VincentGroenewold]

KATE smith thanks! And hey, Canterbury Astronomical Society? :) I was a member.

[@katesmith9291]

@@VincentGroenewold Yes - CAS! Are you still in CHC?

[@ArielWaldman]

Linda Best - thanks, Linda!

[@zapfanzapfan]

That Halloween suit was really ambitious, well done! Awesome trip, thanks for letting us tag along!

[@ArielWaldman]

Haha! Neither the T-rex nor the jackolantern were my creations, but they were indeed amazing! You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@zapfanzapfan]

So you just went outside and saw a T-Rex coming towards you in Antarctica? Just a regular day :-) Can't wait for more episodes.

[@RiffZifnab]

[@uirwi9142]

hey, just found you via twitter and a tardigrade badge. i had no idea, and this is just wow! you're a lucky fish. incredible stuff.

[@ArielWaldman]

😊

[@truewords348]

Thanks for making this video. Antarctica is one of the natural wonders of the world. I hope this was incredible for you. I also want to visit this amazing place. I'm from Pakistan.

[@3673568348]

That was very interesting. Thx you Ariel for sharing with us

[@160p2GHz]

I love this. And your women's advice meeting reminded me of my woman mountaineer friend. She said she when she went with a more experienced woman mountaineer for the first time they told her to face them when you pee. "YOU TURN AROUND SO YOU CAN LOOK THEM RIGHT IN THE EYE IF THEY DARE LOOK OVER."

[@abandonedaccount123]

this was amazing! i especially loved the parts with the aircraft, because i have the aviation disease

[@melissamartinez8819]

How interesting!! That Halloween party looked awesome. Who’d of thought there were that many people partying in Antarctica?! 😱 Lol

[@FarForbiddenXD]

Antarctica looks Awesome

[@felipehime]

Loved it!

[@ArielWaldman]

Thank you!

[@mythdusterds]

This is all cool and new to me just learning what it takes to get to Antarctica and views.

[@anakimluke]

So cool!!!

[@ArielWaldman]

I know, right!?

[@Iamstacyswift]

Love this it’s my dream country to visit

[@mythdusterds]

That is an awesome Halloween party. Never seen a Halloween party like that before.

[@Roks559]

I had never imagined there'd be such a human habitat in Antarctica. Several houses, tractors and what a party! Also did any one check on those seals to see if they were breathing? Haha

[@sulljoh1]

Awesome thanks for sharing all this! :-)

[@ArielWaldman]

Of course! Thank you for tuning in :)

[@BenLe42]

Fascinating videos! Thanks!

[@moneyjbanner9730]

I have a question. Just if you could please answer it. So me and my uncle are planning to go to Antarctica but we don’t know how to get there like which airport do we book the flight and. How do we get our extreme weather clothes.

[@ArielWaldman]

Isaul Rocha - if you want to visit the edge of Antarctica as a tourist, you have to take a ship, typically from South Africa or the bottom of South America. You will need to find a tour company that offers the trip.

[@moneyjbanner9730]

Ariel Waldman. I’d take a ship If i didn’t get really bad sea sick. But since I get really bad sea sick I don’t think I’ll be able to take a ship. But if I could take a airplane like how you did how do I do that. Or if you could leave a link of all information to go to Antarctica that will be perfect

[@richardross1166]

I remember studying extremophiles in Uni, then I actually studied marine invertebrates in Antarctica a few years later. I was last down in the McMurdo area (scott base) in 2019, was that when you were there?

[@Xenomnipotent]

Here because of A Place Further Than the Universe lol

[@Gavin-hz5tj]

How much is the trip?

[@benjamin7808]

Can civilians go to Antarctica or you need to be scientist to get there

[@Kirby07]

Is it always day there?

[@ArielWaldman]

Kirbymalit07 - in the summer, yes!

[@Aa3a3a3a]

My favourite place among the world is Antarctica after my country or destination

[@scrambledbananas]

Is there internet there or how did you upload this video?

[@chalkandrubble5702]

[@MedSou]

[@cokicoky2926]

How did you manage to get on to this cruise 🚢? Is there an online link or something? Do we need to sign up for that? It’s so interesting!

[@caitlinscarano2028]

Elaine! Ariel!

[@ArielWaldman]

That was such a great capture with Elaine. So happy to have you watching these videos! Hope they're helpful to us both when we want to relive it :)

[@BMWAD]

I was 6 years old and I was see the darkness of sky during Meteor storm and I wished to go to Antractica one day I will be the first one of my city and my country also🥺😭😃

[@drop2real]

do you need to be a Scientists?

[@jnnx]

It’s not cheap to get to Antartica. It’s also weird you don’t give credit in your liner notes for your music.

[@ArielWaldman]

NSF provided the flight and housing/food in Antarctica, I paid for the housing/food during my required time in New Zealand for training and gear acquisition. Music is provided under a no-attribution-required license by KZbin's Audio Library.

[@gretelhernandez4045]

If you ever need an assistant that would do an amazing job for free let ME KNOW!!!! I would love the opportunity to fly into Antartica EVEN if its inly for one day!!!!

[@lewisevander]

"I set out on a journey to the ends of the earth" this confirms the earth is indeed flat. Crazy how the sheeple didn't notice you saying that.

[@rensword9610]

Anyone from Sora Yori?
