Antarctica | Patrick Woodhead: Modern Explorers, Luxury Camps, and Untouched Wilderness

Today we find ourselves on "The Ice" deep in the heart of Antarctica. And I mean the interior of Antarctica, land of majestic mountains, the Emperor Penguin, and the magnetic south pole.

Though you once had to go on months long expeditions to reach these destinations, you can now fly five hours on a Gulfstream from Cape Town and experience all the Great White has to offer from the comfort of a luxury camp.

Our guest today is Patrick Woodhead - founder and CEO of White Desert, the logistics and hospitality company that can make all this happen. But Patrick's vision for White Desert comes from his years of being a true explorer, visiting some of the most remote places on the planet.

We chat about what it takes to be an explorer, how all of us can infuse that spirit into our daily lives, some of Patrick's craziest experiences, the Antarctic experience, and baby Emperor Penguins.
