To the Bottom of the World: How to Plan the Ultimate Antarctica Expedition

There are destinations, and then there is Antarctica — a place so otherworldly that even seasoned travelers describe it in hushed tones, half-convinced it isn't real. In this episode, host April Watson takes listeners to the seventh continent, sharing what makes it unlike anywhere else on earth and walking through everything you need to know to actually get there: when to go, which ships make the journey, what your days will look like on and off the ice, and why the infamous Drake Passage may be far less intimidating than the internet would have you believe. Whether you've been quietly dreaming of this trip for years or have never considered it possible, April compellingly makes the case for why Antarctica belongs on your list, and why it may well be the greatest trip you ever take.
