      Hey Josh , as this comment also mentions,
      Explaining your journey, not just of this beautiful experience but of the prequel to your vlogging career start was a lovely little touch that added so much more vibe to the otherwise already captivating experience in the Antarctic continent. Wishing you well and many more happy journeys. By the way, you used a beautiful word "gratitude" which says a lot about your attitude. 💯🔥🙏🏽

    Probably one of the best videos you've ever done. Wow, just seeing that ice and the glacier along with the penguins. WOW.
    And an Avro it its natural habitat too. Absolutely perfect.

    If you haven't been to Easter Island, I can't recommend it enough!!! I didn't even know you could visit the island until 2 weeks ago and changed all my vacation plans around checking it out and SO WORTH IT!!!!!!!!! LATAM flies daily with a dreamliner from SCL but the flights are most often oversold so you need to buy early!

    Thank you Josh. In 2012, I was on a cruise of a lifetime, which commenced in Buenos Aires in Argentina headed south towards the Falkland Islands and then around Cape Horn and all the way up the coast of South America. We then sailed through the Panama Canal into the Caribbeaan, onto Florida and finally New York City in the USA. One of the many highlights of this trip was a side trip from Punta Arenas in Chile to Antarctica, just as you did here. Unfornately, the weather was not kind and the trip was concelled at the last minutes and there I was unable to travel. I was so disappointed as I knew that the opportunity was unlikely be offered to me again. Anyhow, despite see it through tears of sadness, but also of joy, your videos and trip to Antarctica, shown here has been amazing and I am so grateful to have found it and seen through your eyes and your camera what I missed. Very much appreciated and thank you.

    Hi Josh, I'd like to echo earlier comments in that your video's are evolving to a new level. Your desire to take them further is a fantastic goal for 2024. Many of us of a certain age don't get the opportunity to do what you can do but your content brings to our computer the ability to share the experience almost as if we were there, and that's a huge positive in my book.

    Josh, I can't thank you enough for doing what you do, but not just in the sense of travelling to educate and enrich a whole community with your warmth perceptive angle, but to visit a place as remote as Antartica, a place any of us would also struggle for words to describe and share with us your love for the vast beauty of our world. That gets to my core. When I was younger I explored as well. I've camped out In Alaska in the winter, climbed volcanoes in the Andes and enjoyed a supreme espresso in cities like NY and Napoli. I thought I was on the decline now that I have young children, but you just lit that fire in me again and I can't thank you enough for it. I'm grateful and enjoy your work, which I just recently began to watch. More to come, but you keep doing what you do... Just don't do it in AC Rouge (RV). You can thank me later for that tip.😉

    Awesome work Josh. The U.S.A.F. and R.N.Z.A.F. maintain the U.S. and New Zealand Antarctica operations out of my hometown at Christchurch International Airport - indeed, I work across the road at a rental car company and can see them everyday. I can appreciate that you are one of the lucky ones to reach the frozen continent.
    O.T. for your interest, commercial airlines flying in/out of Christchurch include Air N.Z., QANTAS, Singapore, Emirates, Fijian, Jetstar. We currently have United and Cathay Pacific as well as a Chinese airline coming in as well on a seasonal basis.

    After Concorde, my favourite Aircraft! Although I actually prefer the 146 version. The Flaps always amaze me! These were very popular in Southern Africe because of the gravel runways and high altitudes and short take-offs. The High Wing is great as it keeps the Ehgines safer from stones flying up.

    i love also that you shared your story about how you started your travels. you’re 100% right. you just need the desire and really want it. i traveled all over the world in the 1990s. my goal was to fill my passport. which i almost did. traveling is the best thing you can do to learn about the world and yourself. you meet so many great people and find out regardless of where you come from, we are all the same.

    How about doing some of the more unique airports or flights, like a flight to Barra in Scotland where the beach is the runway or the Westray to Papa Westray flight, the shortest commercial flight. There’s a few island hopping flights in Scotland. I’m sure other countries will have similar (maybe in the Pacific area).

I know Noel flew air Inuit to neighbouring Puvirnituq last year but he mostly focused his video on the airline rather than the area itself, so here's an idea for you. (There's a slight chance I even return later this year, in such case i'll be happy to host you)

    All the major cities in Egypt like Aswan, Luxor , Alexandria Sharm El sheikh ….are well connected with multiple flights.

    @BruceM8 11 месяцев назад

    Josh, thanks for bringing us along. Yes, the Antarctic cruises are wonderful, but the flight you took was one of a kind and well worth it, I'm sure. As for ideas for new adventures for the channel, on a polar theme, may I suggest an expedition cruise of the Northwest Passage in northern Canada, now being offered by at least one cruise line and definitely out of bounds of my travel budget, but probably not yours. I am North American, and the Northwest Passage was the Holy Grail for adventurers going back as far as the 16th century. Only in the past few years has it been passable, thanks (?) to our warming climate. In the mid-19th century, two Briitish ships, the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus made a good effort, only to perish in the frozen ice. Their true story is dramatized in the excellent limited series "The Terror", originally developed for the AMC cable network and currently available on Amazon Prime and the Roku channel. Safe travels!
