We camped on Antarctica (would you do it?) - EP 95

[@jackierichards33]

Incredible to see Nick jumping into the Antarctic water. That took guts with your extreme dislike of remotely cold water. I was so impressed. Well done to you both for going in a second time. Encore un fois! A 30th birthday trip never to be forgotten 😅

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

I know, right? merci beaucoup!!!

[@PolarLatitudesLive]

great video, thanks so much to you both! It was a pleasure to have you on board and we're so pleased you had a wonderful trip

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Thanks again Polar latitudes ! We absolutely loved every second of this journey with you guys

⛴What an adventure and birthday to remember. 🕺🎉🎈🎂HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!!!🎶🎊🕺🐧Who better to celebrate your birthday with if not the penguins.🎂🐧How many of us can say that. 🏊If you would have taken a polar plunge in the North Pole you would have had plunges in both the North Pole and South Pole.🏊😰⛴🕛❤North CA USA🤓☮

Thank you Carla! It was amazing! We actually swam in the northernmost points of Norway ! Which counts! It s even higher than Alaska 😍 I’ll find the clips one day!

Another amazing video. The music really added ambiance to the shots of the mountains. Your music choices are impeccable. It was so great that you were able to plan to be on the Antarctica expedition for Nicks birthday! LOL. You might have been in the middle of nowhere with nobody to celebrate. Instead, Nick was the center of everyone's attention. Way to go Nick. Have a great 30th year! Somehow, I don't think you will ever top 29,30, and 31.

Good question! I think they never made it till that continent versus they could travel up north

[@pennygrubbauthor]

Glad you showed the pilot boarding. It’s a dangerous job and they don’t often get a mention. “No human trace” - that has been such a feature. So sad there are so few places so unspoilt. We didn’t learn soon enough. Ok, you have made him sleep out in Antarctic conditions, hurled him into icy water, and lured him to the heart of an active volcano. You need to stop trying to kill Nick on his birthday. He is obviously indestructible.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

Yes really if this trip showed us something is that there is so little places without human traces. It s so sad in a way. Hahahahahaa if he keeps coming with me it means he s the one

[@alfredxavier5880]

Loved the video but You only saw just the tip of the iceberg. You didn't really see Antartica for what it has to truly offer. The scenic views are nice but I would love to go more inland, wayyyy more inland. For the money you pay to go to Antartica I'm gonna make it thee most memorable trip. That would be like me going to Bali and the only thing you was able to do was just set foot on the edge of the ocean going no more than a mile or so inland and then leaving. It seems the cruise is more of the adventure than the actual exploration of Antarctica. I wouldn't be happy.

[@NextMeridianExpedition]

That is very true there is much more to Antarctica. The challenge is that other types of expeditions are way out of our means and this one was already a significant investment.
