Antarctica in 8 days
We travel to the extreme and pristine landscape of Antarctica to meet Patrick Woodhead, co-founder of White Desert – the planet’s most remote luxury camp. During our 8-day Antarctic trek, we explore the harsh yet breathtaking environment where a gallon of gas costs more than $200 and a single Coca-Cola approaches $37. Patrick shares candid stories of scouting his $100,000-per-week camp, reflects on his life of high-stakes adventure and the challenges of entrepreneurship in one of Earth’s most unforgiving environments. In our intimate interview, Woodhead opens up about his concerns for climate change and the critical role Antarctica plays in our planet’s future. We delve into his innovative approach to extreme tourism, offering an unprecedented glimpse into a world few will ever experience – a continent covered in ice, holding 70% of the world’s fresh water, and serving as a potential key to continuing life on Earth.
