Antarctica

Join Zay on a 60 foot yacht ‘The Spirit of Sydney’ as he embarks on a journey like never before. After a peaceful first night in Paradise Harbour, Zay wakes up to clear blue skies - the perfect day for sea kayaking. On board the yacht, Zay sails on to the UK historic site Port Lockroy and visits Ukranian science base Akademic Vernadsky for a firsthand glimpse into what life is like for scientists working in the Antarctic. Zay’s last stop on the peninsula is at American science base Palmer Station where he meets leading biologist Jim McClintock. Crossing the most perilous stretch of water in the world – the Drake Passage – Zay learns what it is like to sail through a Force 8 gale and be seasick for three days straight.
