In February 2020 we welcomed YouTube travel vloggers Kara and Nate on board and brought them to Antarctica. Says Kara, "When people ask me where is the coolest place that you and Nate have ever been, my answer is STILL Antarctica." That says alot from a couple who have traveled the globe!

5 years later, they've revisited the footage and re-edited their most popular series into this vlogumentary. We hope you like it as much as they did reliving all of their Antarctic memories.

After traveling to 110 countries, our 2 week cruise Antarctica is still one BEST trips we’ve ever been on! Enjoy our whole series compiled into one big adven...

"A land of ice, and snow, and cold,
Antarctica is a sight to behold.
A world of silence, and white,
A place where nature reigns, in might."

Snippet of poem by Mohammad Muzzammil

One of my favorite moments from our time bellow the Antarctic circle was once we entered the sea ice.. the combination of calm still water, and the tiles of the broken up sea ice created a perfect foreground for the incredible atmosphere and light in the background mountains of Antarctica.

Today we wish The Boss (Sir Ernest Shackleton) a very Happy Birthday. We are lucky to visit his gravesite regularly in Grytviken South Georgia, share his incredible life story with our guests, and cheers him with a dram of whiskey. This year, we were also fortunate to pay a visit to Cape Rosa - the only landing site on the western coast of South Georgia and the location of Shackleton's first landfall after the harrowing James Caird voyage.

While you might journey to Antarctica with your love—perhaps to get engaged, tie the knot, or even honeymoon in this enchanting place (because, hello, penguins mate for life and give stones as romantic gestures!), the real romance lies in Antarctica itself. Each day we spend there, we fall in love with it all over again. Happy Valentine's Day!

One of those epic Antarctica days 😍 It doesn't get any better than this!
