Antarctica might be the final frontier for terrestrial travel, but cruise lines like National Geographic make it a lot easier.
. Although different now, travel is better than ever. Today we visit the bottom of the world, Antarctica, aboard National Geographic Explorer.
That’s considerably longer than previous land expeditions I’ve made to The Alps, Patagonia, Machu Picchu, or Japan. I say that because journeying to Antarctica is likely the most extreme, underdeveloped, and unpredictable adventure any of us will endeavor. Never before did I feel more unprepared or unsure of what to expect than from Antarctica. Only the moon seems more remote.
While the ice is the star of the show, the wildlife is equally inspiring. We saw porpoising and squawking penguins wherever we sailed or hiked. They do not fear humans, although you will fear their smell. We witnessed several pods of killer whales and a trio of humpbacks gorging on millions of krill for breakfast not 50 feet from our Zodiac. We saw well-fed seals resting on ice slabs, calving glaciers, and albatross buzzing overhead.
On National Geographic ships, all food, drinks, tips, presentations, and excursions are included. Book it and forget it. Chef Ivan’s daily food tour was borderline miraculous. Stunning photography plasters the ship. Below deck, there’s a badass mudroom with lockers to decontaminate your gear and stage for wet landings, Zodiac tours, kayaks, hikes, and polar plunges.

China Dominates Rare Earth Elements Supply Chain, Raising National Security ConcernsRare Earth Elements, or REEs, are found in items we use every single day in the United States, but before they reach our products, they must go through China’s supply chain. The administration has been pushing for increased U.S. production of Rare Earth Elements and other critical minerals, as part of its economic agenda. But for years, efforts like the complex separation process and battery manufacturing have been dominated by China. "It is a national security concern for a couple of reasons. The first being, probably a lot of those minerals are important in the fighting or defending of your country," Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said
