We Thought We Were Ready For Antarctica

Antarctica - one of the last truly wild places on the planet! Join our Curiosity Crew to get exclusive video updates, behind-the-scenes news, access to private events, gear guides, and more: https://www.gonewiththewynns.com

Join us on the adventure of a lifetime as we sail the waters of Antarctica aboard an ice-class sailboat, navigating through towering icebergs, alongside frozen land, and across some of the most remote waters on Earth. In this episode, we explore the icy wilderness of Antarctic by land and sea, cruising through floating ice and anchoring beside massive glaciers in the heart of the Bottom of the World. Along the way, we encounter incredible Antarctic wildlife including humpback whales, gentoo penguins, chinstrap penguins, and leopard seals. We also party with the amazing scientists who call this inhospitable world home. From breathtaking glacier hikes to unforgettable encounters with wildlife, this is polar sailing at its absolute finest!

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity.

We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.

Things We're Most Curious About...

GETTING OFF-GRID
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.

TALKING TO STRANGERS
People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment.

Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.

ALTERNATIVE LIVING
These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.

Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity
