Bus2Antarctica Video: Andrew Arrives in Antarctica
If you’ve been following along with the Bus2Antarctica project, both at
Andrew’s Twitter feed @Bus2Antarctica, and here on the blog, you
know we’re just a few steps behind him in his travels, as he’s been sending us dispatches and amazing video feeds from his journey when he gets the time and Internet access to file. But we had
to drop out of sequence when we got this video from the National
Geographic Explorer/Lindblad crew this morning. After 45 days of nonstop travel, Andrew set foot on the seventh continent on February 14. Look at the smile on
that face (and that beard!).
Congratulations Andrew! And stay tuned for more videos,
photos, and blog items filling in the details from the rest of the
journey (delicious pizza and a harrowing passage still await). We’ve loving having you along for the ride, and as Andrew says, it’s only just beginning.
