What an ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY video Jeb!!! Thank you so much for allowing all of us to share this experience with you. As always, just an incredible production from beginning to end. (But I already knew it would be, before I even watched). Your excitement was so genuine and infectious. CONGRATULATIONS on achieving this check mark on your bucket list. ❤
I have always wanted to go and work on Antarctica. I almost accepted a contract there, but my son was born and I did not want to leave my wife and family. Have you been to Nepal? If not, why not try traveling to Everest Base Camp next? Haha, not saying you have to summit. I’d love to just travel to Kathmandu. Nice video!
Just want to say, It always warms my heart to see how much you appreciate and value these incredible experiences. In in a world where so many people take everything for granted, youre truly one of the good ones. Thanks for sharing such an amazing experience with us!
Ive watched a lot of your videos recently but I think this is by far my favorite. Seeing you with the penguins made me tear up. Could have watched a 2 hour video from here. Please go again and make a longer video.
Jeb, it's not just the travel but your voice and demeanor in these videos that really are soothing. Believe it or not, your videos have helped me through some rough times and always bring a smile to my face at least once a video. You really love what you do and it shows. Just wanted to say a big, Thank you! And please keep it up, which I'm sure you will 👍
@@GreenerGrass Thanks, Jeb! My grandmother passed and was my best friend/travel partner. She was actually a travel agent for over 30 years back when that was still a thing haha. Your videos helped spark a need for adventure for me again after grieving. I just went to Vancouver, then Park City/ Yellowstone in the fall. Definitely doing better and thanks for the positivity and for helping spark my need for adventure to get "back on the rails!"
Without a doubt one of my all time favorite videos. What a truly incredible experience. Not only into historical aviation, but a truly once in a lifetime journey.
Wow, I had no idea random people (so long as they can afford the cost) could visit the South Pole! I’m so happy for you, that weather didn’t block this ultimate bucket list experience. Congratulations! I hope to do the same someday. 👍🏻
When you say there is much more to come, I hope you mean more from this trip, because this video was waaay too short. 😢 On the other hand, seeing that this is a life long dream of yours, I’m not sure I would expect you to run around filming everything, but rather stay in the moment and enjoy it. You deserve that. ( Still hope there is more to come from this trip though, it’s awesome)
Wow!!! That was absolutely sensational! What an amazing trip. Love the way you've captured it and told the story. Well done mate, will be watching this one several times over.
Hey Jeb, I randomly came across your channel about 3 years ago when you did your review about British Airways A318 across the Atlantic and have been following you ever since. Your channel is truly a unique one for anyone who enjoys travel and I so glad I subscribed after watching my first video from you. From flight reviews, to unique and special flights, and all types of other transportation, it truly is a gem among travel channels. You’ve helped me explore and find joy in all new modes of travel that have truly changed my life and I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. That said, I’m so happy that you got to experience an opportunity of a lifetime that many travel enthusiast could only wish for. I would love to do an Antarctic expedition at some point in my life, but it will have to wait. Until then, I will live vicariously through you my friend! Keep up the great work and awesome experiences! Thank you again for sharing and looking forward to more!
Something about this video is very emotional to me. It's my dream to one day do this trek also. I'm so happy you got to experience this. Not many people can legitimately say they "ran around the world". I hope you post more footage of this trip. This video was WAY too short.
It's a great video but honestly the experience itself is indescribable. Something you just gotta get out there and do yourself. Come up with a plan and then just do it!
I don't have the words I need to describe how I feel about this video. Amazing and awesome just don't do it, but that's about the closest I can come. Thank you for sharing this with us. You always teach me something new on every video. 😊
Thanks a Lot Jeb for showing us the spectacular sights of Antartica.....This will remain one of your TOP 5 Vlogs of all time....The Joy in your face as you landed in the South Pole is the testimony of that.....Keep rocking and show us the world....🙏
Jeb, in the last few months I've followed you, you've skyrocketed to be my most favorite trip reporter. I absolutely appreciate your gratitude, your genuine care for getting the reports out, and your positivity. Thank you for taking us along to Antarctica and amazing video production. I'm so excited for the videos to come, keep it up!
What an amazing video, Jeb. Much appreciation to your work on your channel & this visit. Had no idea that the south pole was at an attitude of 9,000 ft. What an entertaining & informative video.
Congrats Jeb, I’ve been enjoying your videos for several years now but this one is the icing on the cake. Antarctica is probably on almost everyone’s bucket list but few of us will ever make it, especially the South Pole. I know how much hard work you and Suzanne put into making these awesome video and you’ve truly earned this, and I can’t wait to see where you will bring us next!
Huge Congratulations Jeb! I cannot wait to fly to the Antarctic someday! Woo Hoo! Also the name White Desert seems very fitting! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better video from your channel! An A340-600 and a DC-3 Wow! 🤩 Cheers 🥂 and congratulations 🍾 🎉 Caleb
I am so glad that you got to visit my favourite spot on the planet. I spent a season at South Pole Station and it was always a delight to see people taking in the enormity of the location from my dorm. This is absolutely your best video yet.
"Can you believe Susanne did not want to come on this trip" Damn right I can, I'm with Susanne on this one, Screw that for a game of soldiers, as we say over here. :) Glad you enjoyed it though, looked epic. Great content as usual. :)
Jeb, what an utterly fantastic video. I too had no idea this was ever possible. Very emotional indeed. Congratulations for making it to the South Pole. Thanks again for all your work in bringing these moments to the rest of use. We can only dream. Cheers my friend.
Going to Antarctica has always been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. Never thought too much about visiting the South Pole. Thanks Jeb for sharing this incredible journey with your viewers. 👍😊
Wow! How far the South pole has come from Shackleton's expedition! Completely amazing! I can't believe Suzanne didn't want to go! Thank you for taking us along!
Well Jeb, I have a whole lot more respect for you now. You have done something I have wanted to do since my early 20s, (back in the early 1980s)! I was going to join the US Navy and do a tour on the ice so I could wear the Antarctica Service Ribbon. That never worked out.
It somehow feels appropriate that I’m watching this video as I watch the country roll by outside my window aboard an Amtrak train. Amazing trip, Jeb! Thanks so much for taking us along!
Absolutely love Jeb. It’s like kicking back on a lazy Sunday afternoon and watching tapes of my dad giving life advice and showing his travels. Love this channel
What a quite feat you did Jeb, making it all the way to the south pole. You seemed pretty emotional just before getting there showing us how much this meant to you 😊 keep on making the best vids out there 💪🏼
Well, congrats on fulfilling a dream and a long wish you had. You made it to the South Pole. So remote. So far. From anything and everything. I know I would go to the South Pole. Love far away places, and places rarely anyone goes. Good luck on your future journeys and adventures. Maybe North Pole is next destination. Keep safe, don't get sick in foreign lands and here's to your sense of wonder and wanting to discover. Love your channel Jeb.
I'm somewhat worried tourism could have a negative impact on Antarctica and end commodifying the place. It's one of the last unspoilt parts of the world. We need to protect it.
Dude. Wow. I cannot say how awesome this was that you achieved a lifetime goal like this. As much as you thanked us viewers/fans, I'm gonna than you for sharing this.
@@paco_lord87 lol he is a super conspiracy theorists. He is a flat earther, anti vaxer, believes dinosaurs weren't real, thinks everything the government says is a lie, thinks gravity doesn't exist and believes that every word of the bible is literal. If he goes there he still wouldn't believe 🤣
Thanks Jeb, I now have something to put on my bucket list. I had no idea experiences like this existed, grateful to you and Suzanne for sharing this with everyone.
I would've paid the pilot of the small plane all of my life savings to keep flying straight and continue over Antarctica so we could explore the truth beyond it
Wow, what an amazing trip. The South Pole has always been one of my dream trips too. I even almost took a job in Antarctica, but ended up deciding against it. Congratulations on making it there.
So glad that everything is taken away rather than being left to mar the environment in the way that happens on mountains. It looks incredible, and thanks for letting us share
You are thanking us, well you are welcome. But it is us that should be thanking you for all that you do to bring us stunning V logs like this. The excitement you are showing and feeling is making us feel the same way. A truly amazing trip, safe travels. Until next time....🛫☃️❄
Your best video yet, Jeb. My last trip in a DC-3 was in 1977, a subsidized day tour from Johannesburg to a gold mine. We went 4,000 feet below ground level, saw mining operations and the pouring of liquid gold into ingots. But I digress. I would be very interested in a video about packing for your Antarctica trip. What did you take, your luggage, and the cost of the trip? Which I imagine was beyond considerable. When I lived in Australia in 1974 I got to travel to New Zealand and visit the home of one of the survivors of the ill-fated Shackleton expedition. I don't recall the man's name, but he was one of the sailors left behind with the ship and those people lived. He was about 97 at the time. His recollections were riveting. Thanks again for a truly epic record of an amazing adventure. It astonishes me that tours run to the South Pole now. My partner went in 1974 and had to get all sorts of clearances, press credentials and permission from the military.
What an awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing your obvious enthusiasm! I do want to point out one thing though. Although the International Space Station does orbit the Earth at an average altitude of ~250 miles, it only reaches as far south as the Falkland Islands or about halfway between Cape Town and the northern coast of Antarctica. That's because its orbital inclination is a little over 51 degrees from the Equator, so it never goes beyond those north and south planes.
If someone compared me to Shackleton...I would take that as a compliment of the highest order. His expedition didn't finish how it was intended. But he brought them all home. Including one of the most incredible small boat voyages ever undertaken.
I went to Antarctica last year. It was amazing. I want to go back. I would love to go to the South Pole. Thank you for sharing your incredible experience.
Great video Jeb, although I don't share the same enthusiasm for Antarctica as you do. Also, a big thumbs up to the DC3 pilots for turning back when weather wasn't ideal. If I was to go there, I'd definitely fly with them.
Amazing! I flew over the coastline of Antarctica once south of Australia and New Zealand and near Mt Erebus but we didn’t land and I’ll never forget it, but you actually went all the way and walked there! It really is remarkable and we have to pay our respects to those explorers who had to get there with dog sleds and no electronic communication!!
Welcome to my city, Cape Town. My home Town for all my 72 years. Thanks so much for your most enjoyable videos. Sadly my wife can no longer travel so I really appreciate your work.
glad jeb you got to go to his dream location... for me that was uluru in australia, an awesome place and fascinating to visit after some unexpected rains, what about YOUR number 1?
Your Antarctica travel vlog is definitely one of your best. What an adventure you must have had. I'm glad you travelled safely all the way to the South Pole and back! Wow!!!
I knew a mayor of Kingston upon Thames who was dedicated to support the penguins of Antarctica, she and her husband used to go and do presentations to encourage support for these enchanting creatures and their footage was amazing
my dad did this trip in December last year, he flew all the way from Seattle, so this meant a lot to him , his a wild life photographer and he did the white desert SOUTH POLE & EMPERORS trip, all though very pricey coming in at $98,000 pp, he told me emotionally this was an beatiful amazing trip and 100% worth it!
Now I can finally say “I’ve been to the South Pole” well, almost any way. Thank you for taking us on this incredible journey. Stay Safe and Keep the Blue Side Up
I've just recently started watching travel videos. And, I must say, your channel is tied at #1. It is the pure joy that comes through the screen. I have lots of catching up and I know I'll enjoy every trip I go on with you as my tour guide.
Jeb, that was worth the wait to see. I appreciate getting to share this memory with you. The excitement and joy on your face making it to somewhere you have always wanted to is special.
Jen, thank you so much for sharing your adventures. The thing I appreciate about you more than any other vlogger is your humility, gratefulness to do what you do and the genuine joy you convey to us in every video. Congrats on ticking the South Pole off your bucket list! I look forward to your future videos!
Wow! I was unaware that you could fly to the south pole. Incredible videography and voice work! We always look forward to your new videos and we have watched more than a few of the older ones. Especially enjoyed the luxury train ride through the Andes last fall!
Traveling to the South Pole and taking us with you has been a fantastic adventure, Jeb! Seeing you accomplish this, it feels like nothing is impossible. Perhaps someday you'll take us on a remote tour up to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere? We can dream!
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Jeb for all the work he does to entertain us! 🎉🎉🎉
Jeb doesn't entertain me as much as he educates me. His trips are always amazing.
Yes! Thank you for sharing this amazing trip with all of us!
He doesn't do this for us, silly human.
Thanks so much for your support! Having the opportunity to create content for this channel is one of my greatest joys!

I absolutely agree! The editing and narration is top notch. I've watched other travel channels, but it's not quite the same.
That was fantastic. A true "Place Further Than The Universe"

A cool $100k trip lol
I mean if you get work there you can go without paying. But it's basically a lotterie if you get a spot.

Thank you for braving the cold and wind to bring us your dream trip. I totally understand the nothing but white landscape as I have lived in Alaska. 😊
I agree with the video being way too short!
Wow!!! That was absolutely sensational! What an amazing trip. Love the way you've captured it and told the story. Well done mate, will be watching this one several times over.

Seeing the penguins playing around you was sort of a surreal shot...glad you made it to the Pole, sounds like a fantastic trip!

I've just recently started watching travel videos. And, I must say, your channel is tied at #1. It is the pure joy that comes through the screen. I have lots of catching up and I know I'll enjoy every trip I go on with you as my tour guide.
We can all see how excited Jeb is hahah. The inner child is happy. Bless you!
One of the best trips you've ever done.
Fantastic video.
Keep it up.
WOW. This is really the experience of a lifetime! I think I would do it just to fly the DC-3! A dream come true
The South Pole Station truly is an amazing site, it's a site I won't forget until the day I die.
Now that’s a trip! Super happy you were able to make it to the South Pole. What a magnificent experience!
Absolutely stunning! I am so happy for you. Those of you who travel, give me so much to look forward to. Jeb, as always, you are great to watch.
Thank you, Jeb. Thank you for taking us along with you. So happy for you to finally getting there. 👍
Excellent South Pole trip experience and useful detailed information really appreciated congratulations 🙏
Your travels are already hyping me up for my brass band road trip from Michigan to Alabama for a championship performance. Great video!
Awesome video Jeb! Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you Jeb for all the fabulous work on the videos. Suzanne, we look forward to seeing you travel with Jeb.
Jeb, that was worth the wait to see. I appreciate getting to share this memory with you. The excitement and joy on your face making it to somewhere you have always wanted to is special.
Jen, thank you so much for sharing your adventures. The thing I appreciate about you more than any other vlogger is your humility, gratefulness to do what you do and the genuine joy you convey to us in every video. Congrats on ticking the South Pole off your bucket list! I look forward to your future videos!
Wow! I was unaware that you could fly to the south pole. Incredible videography and voice work! We always look forward to your new videos and we have watched more than a few of the older ones. Especially enjoyed the luxury train ride through the Andes last fall!
Traveling to the South Pole and taking us with you has been a fantastic adventure, Jeb!
Seeing you accomplish this, it feels like nothing is impossible. Perhaps someday you'll take us on a remote tour up to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere? We can dream!
