Antarctica
The end of the Earth.
The dart landed on Antarctica. The end of the Earth.
I arrived without a plan — surrendering control is the whole point of Travel by Dart — and let Antarctica set its own pace. Antarctica has a way of surprising me, and this journey was no exception: unfamiliar food, generous strangers, and the kind of moments you simply cannot script.
This is my short first take while I write the full story. Press play above to watch the adventure, and check back soon for the complete first-person account of everything the dart uncovered in Antarctica.
Antarctica: traveler questions
Is Antarctica safe for travelers?＋
I filmed across Antarctica using normal travel common sense and never felt I was taking a reckless risk. Like anywhere in Antarctica, I stay aware of my surroundings and lean on trusted local guidance. I'll add specific, on-the-ground safety notes here once the full Antarctica story is written.
When is the best time to visit Antarctica?＋
I'll share the ideal months in the full Antarctica write-up. As a rule I prefer shoulder seasons for thinner crowds and better value, and I plan around the local weather and any festivals worth timing a trip around.
What makes Antarctica worth the trip?＋
The end of the Earth. The best moments came from the unplanned turns the dart pushed me into. Watch the episode above for the highlights, and check back soon for my complete first-person guide to Antarctica.
