1
So, we've just been called up to do the polar plunge, which means we're going to be jumping in below freezing water right now.
2
Now, here we go.
3
To say that going to Antarctica is like a lifelong dream would be a lie because it's a place that, growing up, I never even considered you could actually go to.
4
you start to realize exactly where we are what we're doing and it's so exciting
5
so i'm going to be traveling there on the ocean endeavor on an 11 -day expedition how we doing
6
this is cool we'll be setting off from a swire at the tip of argentina crossing the infamous drake passage
7
and then we'll have four days to explore antarctica
8
and experience as much as possible before making the journey back
9
yeah I genuinely don't know what to expect from this trip
10
I think it's gonna be mind -blowing I think it's gonna be amazing I certainly hope it is Wow
11
We are standing on a sheet of sea ice in the middle of Antarctica.
12
This is insane.
13
Joining me on this trip is a big group of some of my closest friends and loved ones, and we're all super excited to be sharing this unforgettable experience together.
14
Look where we are.
15
My journey began 10 days ago as I flew out to Buenos Aires with my best mate James
16
and then head down to Patagonia to have a week exploring around there.
17
Everything that I hoped and dreamed Patagonia would be, is right here.
18
I was travelling as part of a bespoke tour I'd organised with Intrepid Travel
19
and the majority of the group are now flying down to Aswaya, where we'll be embarking on our voyage to Antarctica in a couple of days' time.
20
The flight was only like an hour long and the views were amazing, but the final approach in was super sketchy.
21
I was actually expecting people to clap.
22
This was a very bumpy, bumpy ride in.
23
I'm glad they did.
24
We were then transported by bus up to our hotel above the town, where all the passengers on the Ocean Endeavour will be staying before the trip.
25
You know, Patagonia was amazing, but it was a very tiring, full -on trip, lots of hiking,
26
and so it's good to have a couple of days here just to rest and relax before we embark on this
27
expedition to Antarctica.
28
I'm excited, I'm curious, a little nervous, especially about the crossing because to get to Antarctica from here we go across the Drake Passage
29
which is supposed to be one of the roughest seas in the world
30
and apparently the conditions could be one of two extremes.
31
You either get the Drake Lake or the Drake Shake
32
so hopefully it's more the lake side for our experience maybe have the drake check for an hour
33
so we just get it on video and that'll look cool
34
and then rest the time yeah nice and simple
35
and easy also on this trip it's going to be my
36
40th birthday i thought what better way to get over
37
that hump than go to antarctica anyway jamie's just flown in all the way down from winnipeg
38
so the two of us are going to go explore the
39
town the swire is nicknamed the end of the world as
40
it's the southernmost city on the planet with the marshall mountains behind it
41
and the beagle channel stretching out in front the city is the gateway to exploring tierra del fuego
42
and of course for ships heading out to antarctica it's a
43
beautiful beautiful town it's a beautiful day here as well lots of fun little souvenirs, shops, cafes, really the whole thing's set up for tourists but it's not a tacky or anything like that, it's just a good vibe to it.
44
Can we explore?
45
Yes.
46
Cool.
47
We are stamping our passports and getting the cool Antarctica stamp because of course we are.
48
I'm not one for counting countries or anything like that, I much prefer just about.
49
collecting as many great experiences as possible.
50
But having said that, Antarctica is going to be the last continent I've yet to visit.
51
So that's going to be pretty sweet.
52
Nice.
53
They always say you have to have king.
54
They, I don't know who they is, but apparently you have to always have king crab when you're in Oshuaia.
55
This is king crab in garlic and parsley sauce.
56
And this is the seafood mixed platter.
57
Nice.
58
It's very exciting.
59
Here we go.
60
That's great.
61
It's very soft.
62
Very, very soft.
63
Not too cheery or anything.
64
Great taste to it.
65
The ship we're traveling on, the Ocean Endeavor, can carry up to 200 passengers.
66
And we've got a group of 28 people here on my tour.
67
And one of the questions I kept being asked on the ship was, How the hell did you get 28 people to come to Antarctica?
68
So let me give you a brief 90 second recap as to how we got here.
69
I've been working as a video editor in London since 2007
70
and right from the start of my career I began filming my travels as a fun little side hobby.
71
Then in 2013 I quit my job and went travelling around the world with my best mate James.
72
We went through 20 countries in 9 months from Hong Kong to New York
73
and we filmed it all just with a home video camera
74
and then I cut it into an 11 part TV style series
75
which I then put on YouTube with no expectations of anyone
76
actually watching it it was just a way of sharing the videos with everyone we met on the trip
77
but fortunately the series took off
78
so over the next few years I filmed loads more adventures some with James others just solo backpacking
79
and gradually my YouTube channel grew and grew
80
in 2019 with the help of my friends Darren
81
and Bev I organized my first bespoke group tour with intrepid travel we went to morocco
82
and had the best time it was a great success
83
then after the pandemic i organized my second tour in iceland
84
and on that tour is where i actually met my wife jamie
85
and then over the next two years did a few more tours all over the world
86
and gradually built up this big community of travelers now antarctica is a once in a lifetime experience
87
so if you're ever going to do it why not go with a group of friends
88
and other like -minded travelers and so today james is here jamie's here darren
89
and beva here fellow youtuber patty doyle's booked on my tour
90
and there's quite a few familiar faces from the other tours
91
as well as some we're meeting for the first time
92
and we're all just absolutely buzzing to be going on this unforgettable adventure to antarctica all right
93
so it's the night before we embark on the boat this
94
is done that's done that's his tongue they were having an official welcome meeting at the hotel
95
but it was going to be everyone on the ship in
96
one bar with 184 people trying to order a drink it
97
takes about 15 minutes to order a drink in a hotel bar
98
so i was like why don't we just go to the irish club instead hang out there there's no information
99
that we need we know everything to know, so all of my group are here.
100
Today is the day that we're setting off for Antarctica.
101
This morning everyone dumped their bags in the lobby
102
and they've been transported down to the boat now
103
and they'll be waiting in our rooms
104
and then at three o 'clock they'll be transported from the
105
hotel down to the pier to get us on the boat
106
so this afternoon is when we're boarding it's starting to sink in now
107
that the ship's actually here it's starting to feel a bit real
108
but we've been planning this for so long and waiting for so long
109
that it still feels a bit surreal you know how are
110
you doing mike i'm doing good i'm feeling very excited now
111
that the moment is finally here i'm excited we're totally not gonna die on the cross.
112
I'm good I'm all set drama me and ready to go.
113
I feel much better now.
114
It's 3 29 we're supposed to be here for 3 30.
115
James is not here.
116
James the last listen I left Chris with him so I guess oh crap wait I just realized what I just said.
117
Everyone's just hanging around waiting I'm super excited to go.
118
We're going to Antarctica.
119
We're going to Osaka.
120
Not very often you can say that, is it?
121
Well, this is it.
122
Ocean Endeavour.
123
Just waiting to board.
124
It's like a queue of buses waiting to board.
125
How are you guys?
126
How are you doing?
127
Come on board.
128
Ready my love?
129
Let's do it.
130
How are we doing?
131
Welcome on board.
132
Thank you.
133
Hello.
134
This way.
135
This way.
136
Yep, come on up.
137
Welcome on board.
138
Hello, how are you doing?
139
We're here.
140
Thank you.
141
There you go.
142
This is cool.
143
It's our home for the next 10 days.
144
Everyone in our group was staying in the Category 6 comfort twin rooms, which come with their own lounge two TVs
145
and two showers that's a nice little space happy with it but Jamie
146
and I had received a last -minute upgrade from intrepid as
147
a thank you for filling up a decent percentage of the ship
148
and so we were in the category 10 owner's suite Oooooh!
149
Nice.
150
Very nice.
151
That's like a normal bath.
152
We have art.
153
We have art in our room.
154
Something Picasso.
155
So we have mini fridge, bathrobes for the swimming pool and hot tub.
156
These are our complimentary jackets to wear outside.
157
Our view is just, we're right at the front of the boat.
158
So we're going to see everywhere we're going.
159
This is so cool. So cool.
160
Yes.
161
All right.
162
So it makes some sense to hang out with you.
163
Basically, this is the balcony outside our room.
164
From our room, we get right out to the front of the ship.
165
That's Paddy Doyle down there.
166
You do actually know that guy.
167
He gave us that.
168
Mate, that's our room.
169
Fuck off.
170
Yeah.
171
Okay.
172
We're leaving.
173
Get to the boiler room, mate.
174
The ship's not going to start itself, come on.
175
Twat.
176
Oh shit, there's a pub.
177
With alcohol, not alcohol.
178
Alcohol, please.
179
Looks like something from a Star Wars lounge or something.
180
It's polar.
181
On a blue lagoon.
182
Oh my god, I'm so excited!
183
Cheers!
184
Cheers!
185
Let's do this!
186
Cheers!
187
Just for the record, James is on the ship.
188
He is here he just took a seasickness medication too early and
189
so now he's asleep have you ever been on a cruise
190
before how many people think this is a cruise we just
191
had the briefing about everything that's going to happen stuff in
192
terms of drake passage apparently we're getting the drake shake from tonight
193
so and this is some of the winds
194
that we will come up against okay
195
so noticing those colors blues are lovely like up here looks really nice the forecast is roughly four meter C's.
196
So I think we'll get a bit of the Drake shake.
197
It's not like, you know, if we're thinking on a scale of one to ten, it's not a ten.
198
This is okay.
199
It's going to be okay.
200
You'll definitely feel it.
201
I'm scared shitless.
202
Let's get the drugs.
203
Now we've got a whole bunch of drug dealing going on to see who's got what.
204
I'm in a 4038.
205
Come see my deal.
206
Best price, my friend.
207
After the briefing, we did a quick safety drill, and then it was It's finally time to leave.
208
Excited?
209
Super excited.
210
Finally, finally Antarctica.
211
We are leaving.
212
how are we feeling now on our way very very very excited yes
213
so finally set off whole group's buzzing how excited are you this excited
214
And we're cruising, how tart it is that way? That way!
215
I can see the Statue of Liberty already!
216
Very small, of course!
217
As the evening drew in, we went for our first dinner on board, followed by some drinks in the lounge
218
and then everyone went to bed as we cruised out of the Beagle Channel towards the Drake Passage.
219
Right now it's a bit of a calmer than forecast to see.
220
However, that's because we've had some shelter at the very tip of Tierra Dunn.
221
Well good morning from the Drake Passage.
222
We started feeling the waves during the night
223
so I was like oh here we go we must be in the storm now
224
and then I looked out the window and that's actually super calm.
225
I think the forecast is better than what it's going to be
226
but later on we're going to really really get amongst it so.
227
I went for breakfast that was nice got like big full english everything.
228
Got a full buffet breakfast going just gotta get it was
229
moving around on the boat are we doing it takes two full days to cross the drake passage
230
and then on the third morning we'll be waking up in antarctica
231
so each day on board the schedule is shown on the tv screens of the various activities on offer
232
but you can really spend this first crossing day however you like
233
You can relax in the Compass Club and read a book from the library.
234
There's also a spa, sauna and a gym if you want to be more active.
235
Don't know if I'll be using it, especially going across the Drake Passage.
236
In the main lounge there's talks on throughout the day from the various scientific experts on board, so you can really educate yourself about what you're about to see in Antarctica.
237
And yeah, some of the talks were slightly more engaging than others.
238
Can you not get to remember all this?
239
if you fancy taking out a new mortgage there is wi -fi available on board
240
or you can save your cash for the boutique shop with lots of lovely souvenirs
241
and useful items you may have forgotten
242
now
243
if you want to see the captain in action you can
244
head up to the bridge this is the bridge of the
245
boat there's like a little rough top area you have to come in and see how it all works
246
i'm just trying to film and also stand up whilst the ship's rocking
247
which is quite hard slightly challenging
248
but really the best way to spend your time is out on the deck
249
and keeping an eye out for any wildlife like albatross flying
250
around lots of wildlife to see Mark spotted a whale first thing in the morning
251
so I'll cut to your photo now Mark then later on Chris got this amazing shot from the front of the ship
252
I'm feeling good.
253
All the seasick tablets are working so far.
254
We've taken tablets, we've got wristbands, we've got patched liner here, so we're just going for all of the above to make sure it goes out all right.
255
But the boat's great, super comfy.
256
Most of the groups seem to be doing all right, all things considered.
257
so paddy just did his joke and no one got it but can you guess the movie
258
it's jurassic park yeah i was thinking like um forrest gump
259
or something well that famous jello scene in the virus i gotta get more jello
260
Jenny and I were like Jell -O and carrots again.
261
Let's see if Wally can do a better take. That one was better.
262
Yeah, Wally's always better.
263
I got the Air Force today.
264
Yeah, the waves have started to pick up a little bit this afternoon.
265
Going down these corridors can't be quite interesting.
266
As the evening drew in, there was the end of day briefing at 6pm, followed by dinner, and then as the sun went down, we started seeing some icebergs on the horizon.
267
Then we spent the rest of the evening just enjoying some drinks together in the lounge.
268
Good morning folks, good morning.
269
Swan's arriving from some directions throughout the night have caused some significant rolls.
270
Last night we got no sleep at all.
271
Like, the ship was rocking so much.
272
These curtains here were just like all back and forth all by himself, like, so the light's going on and off.
273
Well, there's one point about, I don't know, 2 a .m.
274
where we hit a really big wave and like we're lying in the bed
275
and jamie just got thrown out the bed
276
and i nearly got thrown on top of the cupboard doors were opening chairs are moving around the room
277
so very very very tired after that but it'll all be worth it once we're there i'm sure
278
we have almost the polar event or the antarctic convergence and this means that we are biologically be now in Antarctica.
279
Luckily as the morning progressed, the waters began to calm down.
280
Bit of a Drake Lake today, it's been pretty smooth so far.
281
And we're getting closer and closer to Antarctica, so it should actually be alright from here on out.
282
Got a lot of fast to do today, sort of preparation, briefing, sorting out clothes, all that kind of stuff.
283
Just come down to the mudroom to make sure everything fits.
284
I had to get my boot switched to do a one -size -two boot, but yeah, it's all a prep for tomorrow now, so when we got the Zodiac, it was ready to go.
285
How are we feeling?
286
Awesome.
287
We're ready to go.
288
How's the crossing been?
289
I didn't grow up too much.
290
I didn't sleep much last night.
291
The room was all tossed around, so...
292
Yeah.
293
But we're here.
294
Yeah.
295
Oh, there's a whale, there's a whale.
296
Guys, there's a whale.
297
Wow.
298
so we're just ordering dinner three massive icebergs right here they're
299
so huge i was leaving a big one over there bloody hell that's like an island that is an island
300
i apologize for the crappy quality clips on my phone
301
because we're sitting here more and More icebergs are appearing on the horizon, so just get a sense that we're nearly there.
302
And I think everyone's getting more and more excited.
303
I am actually starting to sink in where we are, where we're going.
304
Tomorrow we'll be in it.
305
Antarctica.
306
How the fuck are we in Antarctica?
307
It's crazy.
308
Yeah, that evening just kept cruising on down further south, then you know went to bed had a decent few hours sleep
309
and then I woke up quite early like before 5 a .m.
310
opened up the curtains and suddenly Antarctica was there
311
It's hard to find any words to do this justice, just the sheer scale of it is just so beautiful or inspiring.
312
I was saying on all the journey down here, it doesn't feel like we're at the bottom of the world.
313
It doesn't feel like we've traveled that far.
314
But now it's seeing just all the ice, just everything around you.
315
It's just, you're starting to realize exactly where we are, what we're doing.
316
And it's so exciting.
317
So we're going to be landing over here, we're going to get the Zodiac across to there.
318
We're just going to walk around.
319
Hello, this is a message for sea kayakers in true expedition style.
320
So we're just waiting to get called up.
321
We're going to head down there, load up on the zodiacs, going to land in Antarctica.
322
We have been summoned, heading down to the mudroom now.
323
Antarctica, go!
324
What's up?
325
Ready?
326
The time has come.
327
Ready, mate?
328
I think so.
329
I'm just excited.
330
I'm actually a little hot.
331
Yeah.
332
Let's go, go, go, go.
333
How are you feeling?
334
Good, excited!
335
Sorry Chris, it's full.
336
Very, very exciting.
337
Let's go!
338
Goodbye!
339
You're losing already!
340
Wow!
341
Oh, this is fantastic.
342
Before we were going to actually head onto the land, we were going to have a bit of an explore and cruise around the bay.
343
My name is Albert, I'm going to be your first driver.
344
So it's my pleasure
345
and honor to give you all the annoying commands of what you have to do
346
and especially what you shouldn't be doing on board, okay?
347
It's gonna be bumpy, but I mean it's not dangerous, don't worry.
348
And if you start hearing that there's like a lot of noises underneath, yeah, it's just because we're going on top of the ice.
349
We were already blown away by everything we were seeing up close from the Zodiac, but then just up the ante, we spotted a humpback whale.
350
So right in front of us, and you can see a tail.
351
We've been drifting around and we just spotted a humpback whale, nearly caught it on camera.
352
Hopefully he's not being shy.
353
Come on, say hello!
354
Don't be shy!
355
You'll be on YouTube!
356
There he is.
357
I'm not going for it, but I'm going to tell you why. Because of the trumpeting.
358
And it's usually a sign of his, not distress, there you are, there you are.
359
So if we want to see it, you know, the best thing is for us to try to keep the distance.
360
All right.
361
Up again.
362
We're super, super lucky to see one on our first, so yeah, the entire trip.
363
Yeah, it was off in a distance at first, and then it went down for a while, so we started moving towards the land, and then suddenly it came up right beside us.
364
I was really trying to go to the area.
365
How was that, Jamie?
366
That was pretty excellent, Jamie.
367
That was amazing.
368
It was so fun.
369
Well, you guys, I think you're pretty happy with it.
370
Yeah.
371
Good start, mate.
372
We can go home now.
373
That's a perfect view.
374
That's good.
375
We'd had all that excitement with the whale, but of course, we still hadn't done the main activity of this morning, which is actually land on Antarctica.
376
About to step foot in Antarctica for the very first time.
377
Boom.
378
We're officially on Antarctica.
379
Amazing.
380
First steps and on Antarctica.
381
Right.
382
Seven continents.
383
Yeah, we did it.
384
Finally.
385
We're doing seven together then.
386
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
387
That's pretty cool.
388
Seven continents in 11 months.
389
I'm killing it.
390
It's the 7 -11.
391
Seven out of seven, mate.
392
Seven out of seven.
393
Seven out of seven?
394
Six out of seven.
395
Ah, never mind.
396
Eight out of seven.
397
Seven out of seven.
398
Yay!
399
Well done.
400
It's not about counting a list, but seven continents.
401
How are you feeling, buddy?
402
Great.
403
Surprisingly, not that cold, either.
404
No, it's fine.
405
We're two days of being sick.
406
I'll do it again.
407
I don't even know what I'm going to say.
408
I think that's the best start, Carl.
409
Yeah.
410
Look at the penguin.
411
Penguin, right there.
412
It's a penguin.
413
So folks, behind us we have lots and lots of breeding Gentoo penguins.
414
So about 905 pairs at the last cast.
415
And there's a couple different ways to view them.
416
So if you want a kind of vigorous walk, I'd recommend following the flag path that way
417
and you're going to be able to gain some elevation always following the flags
418
We're waiting to do a little walk up around there, but the penguins blocking the path.
419
We have to keep our distance One single penguin.
420
One penguin ruins the whole operation I want to hug you back, my booze.
421
I didn't appreciate how much was behind that big iceberg that we drove up to until now.
422
Yeah, it's good having the ship there just for a sensor scale.
423
You could think this lagoon is quite small, but it's like, wait a minute.
424
It's like you're on another planet or something.
425
It's incredible.
426
It's the nearest thing to being an astronaut.
427
Yeah, that's incredible.
428
And going interstellar onto an alien planet. So incredible.
429
Yeah.
430
Did you see the whale?
431
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
432
We got it.
433
Seeing the kind of things you only see on Lake David Attenborough.
434
That's right in front of us.
435
I'm making out.
436
She's like, I'm not in the mood.
437
She's like, buy me a drink first.
438
Come on, love.
439
they're all coming after us they don't want to get on the zodiac heard the boutique shops open there
440
so pop some souvenirs
441
just got back from our first zodiac out into antarctica
442
and man that was incredible so incredible and we got
443
so lucky as well wow everyone's just kind of lost for words you know
444
you can see it from sunday going this is just it's just ridiculous
445
so it's so beautiful yeah great first morning out in antarctica
446
and we're back out again this afternoon we're going to go
447
around to a different bay paradise bay head out there
448
and explore and then tonight we should be camping camping in paradise bay so yeah loving it
449
as we ate our lunch we began cruising around to paradise bay
450
and we'd originally planned to do another landing there this afternoon
451
but the conditions weren't quite right for it
452
so the crew decided to offer us an alternative activity uh
453
so we just got the announcement
454
that we're going to be doing the polar plunge this afternoon i thought we might be doing it like two
455
or three days in maybe don't my birthday
456
but apparently it's happening right now so
457
but I've been looking forward to this I really want to do this
458
but it's gonna it's gonna hurt I just thought I'd have more time to mentally prepare for it
459
but nope we're jumping in now
460
we're gonna do it I'm not gonna go first I think Carl should go
461
if I'm reminding me some first of the hot tub James how are you feeling super excited
462
the water outside is about minus 1 .5 degrees Celsius
463
or around 30 Fahrenheit height and
464
when you jump they attach you to a bungee rope just to make sure that they don't lose anybody how was it?
465
see ya let's go, see ya
466
We're watching the guys jumping in
467
and we do we have FOMO guys no no no we
468
do not have FOMO here at all here goes Carl Watson the man
469
that made the legend fucking hell here we go
470
I have to say, though, that my jump was spectacularly shit.
471
Like, I went to do a cannonball, and then ended up just sort of panicking and rushing it so My knees got nowhere near my body, and I kind of just limped into the water, like...
472
You know, James did his big dive in,
473
and Jamie just strolled down and did this lovely jump and wave for the camera.
474
How was the polar plunge?
475
Amazing, actually.
476
It was really cold, but, like, you're only in for 10 seconds, and then you're out, and you feel amazing afterwards.
477
It's freezing.
478
Let's not get around the fact.
479
It's absolutely freezing, but you get over it so quickly.
480
It's just jump in, out, dry, shot of wogger, done.
481
But hey, we've done it.
482
Look guys, it's lovely.
483
It's beautiful.
484
It's actually quite warm.
485
You'll be fine.
486
How was it?
487
Amazing.
488
It's amazing.
489
Beer, please.
490
How was the jump?
491
It was good.
492
Apparently I jumped really far out, which was a bad move.
493
It was a head rush.
494
And then when you go out, gasping for your ear, a little bit disoriented, and then you go out, drink the shot, and you're the happiest person.
495
So yes, definitely do the Polar Punch.
496
Congratulations!
497
Congratulations!
498
So it's 8 p .m at night.
499
We were supposed to be doing camping tonight, camping out on the ice, which I was going to drop out of because I was feeling, well, I am feeling a little bit of the weather,
500
just needed like a good night's rest rather than sleeping on ice.
501
But then I got cancelled because there was too much ice around the island we were going to sleep on, just we wouldn't have been able to get there and get back
502
so they've decided to put on an evening zodiac for us
503
so we're gonna go just cruise around for an hour in the Paradise Bay
504
and it's a really nice evening really good light out there
505
so who knows what we'll see but it should be very beautiful.
506
Do you agree?
507
Thank you everybody we're calling for Minky's please go go go
508
thank you way down to the mud room we are minkies
509
okay folks did you all pull our plans yeah most of us did
510
so we're gonna get close to this area to see
511
if we can see any seals but we will not go closer than necessary to the glacier okay
512
Can you see how huge the chest is, the torso, how strong it is?
513
And actually, look at her, she needs to drive those pectoral fins, that's why the chest is so large as well.
514
We're going to turn around so the others also get a good view.
515
It's like an old man trying to get out of bed in the morning.
516
The light out here tonight is absolutely perfect,
517
and we're surrounded by all these mountains and glaciers and the scale of them is just hard to comprehend.
518
It's just beautiful.
519
Just flying around here.
520
You know, there's an old guy, which I admire a lot.
521
He's been doing this for so long that he goes beyond the specifications
522
and this is what the penguins do and that's
523
that species of whale or whatever he just dives along to the experience you know
524
and he goes into this concept of we are but nothing
525
we are absolutely nothing and when you look at the concept at the scale of time
526
and the things that happen here and how long they last
527
and the years have been there then you realize that actually we are but nothing we're just a tiny tiny uh Yeah.
528
Yeah.
529
Yeah.
530
Yeah.
531
Yeah.
532
Yeah.
533
If we're here such a short time, may as well just do a polar plunge, eh?
534
The life is so short, the cold mess is even shorter.
535
It's going to be a long week.
536
Thank you.
537
We've got a colony of gen 2 penguins here that have taken over this research facility.
538
It's 9 .31, it's still so light.
539
Zodiac's been craned up for the night.
540
Thank you very much, man.
541
We had an unbelievable first day in Antarctica, and it's a good example of how flexible you have to be out here.
542
One minute you think you're doing a landing, but instead you're jumping in freezing cold water.
543
Then you think you're going camping, but end up on a beautiful evening zodiac cruise.
544
So you really just have to go with the flow, depending on the conditions.
545
but the crazy thing is we've already experienced
546
so much yet this is only day one of being in antarctica we've still got another three to go
547
so next up we're going to be going kayaking this is
548
insane we're going to be landing on sea ice we're going to see loads more wildlife We'll explore a volcano island,
549
we'll have a sunset barbecue on the ship.
550
We're at the bottom of the world having a barbecue.
551
And there's going to be a big surprise on my birthday.
552

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
