Itś great that your video places us as an observer, and let us see the place, instead of shooting a bunch of social activities.

OMG! I’ve watched many videos on this topic and yours has blown me away! I have subscribed and I cannot wait to watch this entire series. Thanks a million for taking me on your incredible journey!

Welcome aboard!

[@robertcoulter7592]

Loving your thoughts and words on this one mate. My number one bucket list and it's lovely to see you there and experience it through your eyes for now. Cheers mucker ❤

[@emmasmith729]

I don’t know why but I found this series really emotional! Antarctica is on my long list of places I want to visit if money ever allows. Thank you for giving us a window into that world 🥰

Great series Paddy ❤

[@ramakrishnanbalakrishnan7698]

This is pure bliss. How much was the package price in total

[@RoonerTheLooner]

I spent 3 years working on one of those cruise ships as navigation officer. It is like another world but also alot more dangerous than most passengers realised, we had a couple of really dangerous siruations.

[@JettMalone]

oh yeah? Big seas a problem? or ice?

[@RoonerTheLooner]

Growlers, very very dense old ice just barely visable bobbing in the surface but could be dangerous to hit head on. Another vessel, i think it as the Lindblad explorer hit a freak wave that destroyd the windows in the front and flooded the bridge with water, she drifted helplessly for a long time before they managed to get her going again. Once when all our passangers were landed on an excursion ashore, the wind unexpectedly turned and filled the little bay with ice so the zodiacs almost didnt make it back to the ship, they would not have survived the night i think. Once when at anchor a dense icebergs drifted in to us an damaged the propeller. And yes sometimes the waves in those lattitudes become totally crazy, the call it the roaring fourties and the screaming fifties. I.e because you pass the southern 40-50 latitudes. But a magical place though.

[@andrei200287]

Please come back to Thailand and make more videos from Thailand!

[@nuttsy3662]

I have been following you for quite some time now Paddy! Pretty much from your province tours around Thailand on Dreamy. But this takes some beating! Brilliant footage. So is the climate change real where you are then?

[@farahb4884]

Would love to do this, but there's no way I'd survive due to horrible motion sickness😢

[@Nighthawk2211]

You didn't do the polar plunge? I am unsubscribing! Haha. ;-) What an experience, Paddy.

[@sharongalvin9433]

OMG you are living my dream.Amazing videos.I’m hooked😂 Greetings from a very wet summers day in Ireland😢🇮🇪☘️

[@anastasiafua]

Paddy what a freaking amazing experience- I’m now looking at going next year possibly 😂 great video 🎉

[@KingRisen-g1n]

Did you go to South Georgia Paddy? Incredible video. I visited the Arctic with the competition, a spent a small fortune buying Woolen clothing, but it sure kept we warm and you dont have to wash it very often since they dont stink on a 14 day excursion. Pity they didnt let you keep the jacket, they look great, plus its advertisement, never heard of the company you went with. Great video.

[@wimsmedia]

Good images man.. beautiful. see you in Thailand

[@jonsealey2864]

Amazing. I have to ask though, should we be able to go to these pristine places? As humans, we have a tendency to mess them up. Will this place end up being super touristy? The thing that came across here was how immaculate it is right now. It scares me a little to think massive tourist boats are going there.

[@richardblack4958]

I hate the cold, but that looks amazing! I'm now going to look at how many kidneys I'll need to sell to afford the trip. 🤣

[@karlsthailand]

It’s great to see wildlife that doesn’t fear man…because they’ve had so little exposure to man that they don’t need to! Cheers

[@DrWendy]

STEPHI! i miss her calming voice already

[@cryptotrader2779]

What a ridiculous experience that must have been. So few people ever go there it must have felt so special and very surreal.

[@81craw]

170000 people per year

[@cryptotrader2779]

@@81craw Thanks. Just had a quick look and the numbers are all over the place. A lot of sites say the 2022-2023 season had the highest number of tourists at just under 105,000. Still probably more than I would expect, but also a miniscule number of people in a world of over 8 billion. One site said about 33,000 Antarctic cruise passengers never get to go on boats to stand on the landmass either, so going ashore puts you in an even smaller number of people. Awesome life experience all the same.

[@1981bobbyg]

London had over 20million per year so it's not that much really

Thank you thank you!! I suffer from horrible motion sickness & will never be able to see this. What an amazing experience ❤❤

A few people on board had the same issue and they suffered quite badly but overall said it was worth it

[@PaulTCoffee]

This is unbelievable and very emotional. I can see why people and yourself are just amazed by this incredible place on earth. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

My pleasure mate

[@keelykeeton8242]

Loved this and I want to go next

[@melinnie_thai5450]

Not even 10 minutes in and felt emotional watching this. You never really think about Antarctica but when you see this video it brings out emotions you never thought you’d feel regarding the continent. Is there a video with the travel details for anyone who might be interested? Thanks for this beautiful video.

[@hungrytoexplore]

That was utterly breathtaking! What an incredible experience

[@Nebula37]

Great job. Spectacular video! Coincidentally my mom's older cousin and her husband went on a similar trip last week. He even did the polar plunge! Anyway, great work, and what an amazing experience.

[@Sc-re7sc]

They say the midnight sun is November December and January. Did you experience any of that????

Speechless mate ! Amazing video Paddy

[@chrish.6968]

It's hard to get much more next level than Antarctica and your photography and your commentary definitely support that! You might just have to go to Mars next in order to top this!😂

Hi Paddy.. Beauty beyond words.

[@RobRodin]

Another great episode. I love that the penguins make you smile too. Such an amazing bird. See Paddy karma works, the reason the weather was perfect for you and not the rich folks 555. We would have loved to see you take that Polar Plunge that would have been a hoot. Bring on the final episode I can't wait.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Hahaha how about you jump in first then 😛

[@wendy-0101]

😍Wow Paddy! Such an amazing experience! 💞💋

[@JohnWagenvoort]

Sensational. Nice work. Love it.

[@asaniaa]

Thanks a mil Paddy! As the subscriber who hardly says anything beyond liking and showing other ppl your stuff, Thank you, Ke a leboga (Setswana, South Africa) for helping me discover yet another ecosystem that reminds us what we are part of, what we lucked out on, the beauty we're an extension of, and what it takes to respect it, so we can maintain and enjoy. I've followed your Southeast Asia journeys and have loved the diversity, effort and thought put into each one. Thank you! While I have thought of Iceland and even some parts of Alaska and Greenland by chance, as a South African, this helps me add an Antarctica to my list. I respect and honour the fact that you decided that there were times to just be present in the moment - this is the core reason those of us who travel do it; to explore, to discover new worlds (very specificifically for ourselves) and to reconnect to the planet and what it has to offer, anew. Love and respect from down South!

[@myrabenson1603]

What an amazing beast of an adventure you so lucky the penguins are just amazing love them the scenery the seals it is just beautiful 😍

[@Klaaske22]

It was so beautiful! I now don't have to go there! I am working in ecological farming and that is the best thing to do for me on earth. So I watch all your adventures and I can hold my footprint quite low. Thanks!

It’s nice cause there is no garbage laying around like most of the world.

Amazing. Feeling so envious. What an amazing document of your journey. Really really beautifully done.

[@maikelronitz9766]

Thanks for bringing us on your journey again Paddy, it's a joy to see such incredible images without actually being there!

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Paddy. 2.50 gave me goosebumps. The scenery is epic and so beautiful. Wow. Seeing the penguins so close. An amazing experience. Definitely magical. The views are insane. Seeing the humpback whale. I am grateful for your adventures. Something I will probably never experience. I am very envious. Amazing to experience this with some great friends. Oh my, that must be some cruise costing up to 40 thousand dollars. Just goes to show that it does not matter how much you spend. Your experience has been spectacular. Scary how global warming has affected things. Paddy. Do you regret it now, not jumping into the water?. Once-in-a-lifetime experience. I must be honest and admit. I probably would not do it. Go, Karl. I bet that was a little too much watching the leopard seal. Eating a penguin. The morning sunshine. Makes it look even more magical. Paradise. For sure. The penguins are my favorite. Learned something new today. I did not know jellyfish could live in cold water. Amazing trip. So lucky to see so much beautiful wildlife. Beautiful footage. Amazing drone footage. Beautiful video. Thank you for taking us along. Micheal. Navigating. LOL. I can not wait for the next one. Thank you. Loved this. B E A U T I F U L. Have a wonderful weekend.
