Good morning Karl and Happy Late Birthday. I am writing to you today because I wanted to let you know that recently I had open heart surgery and all is good and I am recovering however, I wanted to thank you for your videos and what you do. I had my iPad with me all the time and while I was at The Cleveland Clinic my wife and I would watch only your videos. They provided us an escape and a way to journey from my hospital bed to parts of the world I never seen. This had made such a difference in our lives and my recovery. We would watch video after video and although it hurt to laugh it was well worth it. We hope to one day join you in your travels for that would be a dream come true. Thank you very much Karl and we are looking forward to your next adventure. Stay safe, may God Bless you and cheers my friend.

Nice explanation of the editing process. I see you well on doing more and more (live) tutorials and workshops. Also, what's crazy is that you actually know 20 more people who have 10k+ to spend on a trip (and some also have more to drunkenly splashing on a bidding to put hands on the boat steering wheel, as if being in Antartica itself is not enough). That bit was a mood killer.

Lekker Karl! Have been watching your videos since your "First time in Africa" 7 years ago and it's been a privilege to see your journey. It reminds me of SV Delos' epic journey they were sailing before they started a family. Thanks for making the effort in sharing your memories and taking the leap in doing it full time! From a cold Capetown, cheers mate!

Love the behind the scenes look. Was one of those wondering about the drone shots as have heard of the process scientists have to go through to fly there, never mind tourists! Fab series, took me back to so many special memories of my November 2019 trip. Your snow conditions etc looked very similar but we had even better weather for the six days between Drake Crossings

I worked in Antarctica in 2000 before I could afford a digital camera. A different world, you have to overexpose film slightly or the ice looks grey. Slide film is very very sensitive to light and were not happy unless exposure was spot on. A few slide films didn't come out and some films snapped inside the cassette despite being under my coat. I guess even expensive US mil spec coats have limited protection at minus 70 windchill 😂😂

Loved the video. Thanks, Karl! It was great to know what goes behind your amazing videos. Just a suggestion: You can take bits from all the other footage, turn it into KZfaq Shorts and publish them. As a marketer, I have seen firsthand how Shorts lead to more subscribers and views. Worth a shot, I guess.

The videos were amazing, but I was left feeling really disappointed with James. He obviously couldn't be bothered to get a personal video from Bryan Adams for you, despite it being your 40th birthday .... Fair play to you for not using this video to draw focus on how disappointed you must have been with him.
