Who's ready to explore the least populated, most isolated continent on our planet? I'm Colin, and I'm preparing to embark on an expedition to Antarctica. Join me as I explore Buenos Aires (Argentina), journey south to the southernmost tip of South America in Ushuaia (Argentina), and then travel by ship to the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula.
While in Antarctica, I'll be taking daily zodiac excursions to explore local bays, visiting penguin rookeries, scouting for humpback and minke whales, and searching for a number of southern seal species. I'll be hiking the Antarctic landscape, visiting historic and present-day research stations, camping overnight on the ice, and likely even taking a (chilly) polar plunge!
Through a combination of published articles, recorded videos, and live video calls, I'm excited to share this incredible adventure with you. I have always been curious about places like Antarctica, and it's my goal to inspire your students to look at the amazing world around them through the lens of an explorer.
