Antarctic Travel – Episode 283 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast

It’s the season for Antarctic travel – but should we really encourage Antarctic tourism?

That’s the question I had in mind when I chatted with Justin Watson (well-known to listeners as my Book Club co-host), who travelled to Antarctic recently on a true trip-of-a-lifetime. We chat about the highlights of an Antarctic trip, Justin’s tips for deciding on a ship to join, and also our thoughts on whether Antarctic tourism is for better or worse. You’ll have to listen to find out what we decided!
