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.

Now, here we go.

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.

you start to realize exactly where we are what we're doing and it's so exciting

so i'm going to be traveling there on the ocean endeavor on an 11 -day expedition how we doing

this is cool we'll be setting off from a swire at the tip of argentina crossing the infamous drake passage

and then we'll have four days to explore antarctica

and experience as much as possible before making the journey back

yeah I genuinely don't know what to expect from this trip

I think it's gonna be mind -blowing I think it's gonna be amazing I certainly hope it is Wow

We are standing on a sheet of sea ice in the middle of Antarctica.

This is insane.

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.

Look where we are.

My journey began 10 days ago as I flew out to Buenos Aires with my best mate James

and then head down to Patagonia to have a week exploring around there.

Everything that I hoped and dreamed Patagonia would be, is right here.

I was travelling as part of a bespoke tour I'd organised with Intrepid Travel

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.

The flight was only like an hour long and the views were amazing, but the final approach in was super sketchy.

I was actually expecting people to clap.

This was a very bumpy, bumpy ride in.

I'm glad they did.

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.

You know, Patagonia was amazing, but it was a very tiring, full -on trip, lots of hiking,

and so it's good to have a couple of days here just to rest and relax before we embark on this

expedition to Antarctica.

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

which is supposed to be one of the roughest seas in the world

and apparently the conditions could be one of two extremes.

You either get the Drake Lake or the Drake Shake

so hopefully it's more the lake side for our experience maybe have the drake check for an hour

so we just get it on video and that'll look cool

and then rest the time yeah nice and simple

and easy also on this trip it's going to be my

40th birthday i thought what better way to get over

that hump than go to antarctica anyway jamie's just flown in all the way down from winnipeg

so the two of us are going to go explore the

town the swire is nicknamed the end of the world as

it's the southernmost city on the planet with the marshall mountains behind it

and the beagle channel stretching out in front the city is the gateway to exploring tierra del fuego

and of course for ships heading out to antarctica it's a

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.

Can we explore?

Yes.

Cool.

We are stamping our passports and getting the cool Antarctica stamp because of course we are.

I'm not one for counting countries or anything like that, I much prefer just about.

collecting as many great experiences as possible.

But having said that, Antarctica is going to be the last continent I've yet to visit.

So that's going to be pretty sweet.

Nice.

They always say you have to have king.

They, I don't know who they is, but apparently you have to always have king crab when you're in Oshuaia.

This is king crab in garlic and parsley sauce.

And this is the seafood mixed platter.

Nice.

It's very exciting.

Here we go.

That's great.

It's very soft.

Very, very soft.

Not too cheery or anything.

Great taste to it.

The ship we're traveling on, the Ocean Endeavor, can carry up to 200 passengers.

And we've got a group of 28 people here on my tour.

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?

So let me give you a brief 90 second recap as to how we got here.

I've been working as a video editor in London since 2007

and right from the start of my career I began filming my travels as a fun little side hobby.

Then in 2013 I quit my job and went travelling around the world with my best mate James.

We went through 20 countries in 9 months from Hong Kong to New York

and we filmed it all just with a home video camera

and then I cut it into an 11 part TV style series

which I then put on YouTube with no expectations of anyone

actually watching it it was just a way of sharing the videos with everyone we met on the trip

but fortunately the series took off

so over the next few years I filmed loads more adventures some with James others just solo backpacking

and gradually my YouTube channel grew and grew

in 2019 with the help of my friends Darren

and Bev I organized my first bespoke group tour with intrepid travel we went to morocco

and had the best time it was a great success

then after the pandemic i organized my second tour in iceland

and on that tour is where i actually met my wife jamie

and then over the next two years did a few more tours all over the world

and gradually built up this big community of travelers now antarctica is a once in a lifetime experience

so if you're ever going to do it why not go with a group of friends

and other like -minded travelers and so today james is here jamie's here darren

and beva here fellow youtuber patty doyle's booked on my tour

and there's quite a few familiar faces from the other tours

as well as some we're meeting for the first time

and we're all just absolutely buzzing to be going on this unforgettable adventure to antarctica all right

so it's the night before we embark on the boat this

is done that's done that's his tongue they were having an official welcome meeting at the hotel

but it was going to be everyone on the ship in

one bar with 184 people trying to order a drink it

takes about 15 minutes to order a drink in a hotel bar

so i was like why don't we just go to the irish club instead hang out there there's no information

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

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
