Right now we're at the furthest point North that we're going to go.
We're actually at, I think it's, 81 latitude
and we're in Tanquary Fiord
It's maybe one of
the most intensely
beautiful landscapes. I keep
using the terms otherworldly and that I feel like I'm on another planet
but this is our planet.
I think it's a lot to contemplate
- it's really magical
and extraordinarily cold and you can probably tell.
The air is so crisp
and there's a little bit of snow blowing.
Right now we're in the Arctic tundra
I believe that from this point
people usually ski to the North Pole.
Just to give you a frame of reference for how far up we are currently.
It's pretty intense.
I climbed halfway up a mountain here
earlier this morning and
I kind of hit my limit
and I know that it was a mental limit
But I just
yeah, it was a lot and I think I'll talk about it in another video.
But I ended up taking this magical zodiac ride
across the fjord
and have just been wandering around...
When you go completely silent
like right now...
There's just this silence
that envelops you
and it's like a silence I've never really heard before.
The only thing you can really hear is your breath.
And...the wind.
We did this yesterday too. It was like a vacuum.
The entire world had just been basically scooped out
and all I could hear was my thoughts
and pretty soon I wasn't even concentrating on that
and it was just this beautiful experience.
This is pretty intense.
I don't know if I'm ever going to be at 81 North Latitude again
in my life
I think it's just kind of hitting me..
It's really just this special, special place.
It's one of the most beautiful things...I don't think I even had an inkling of it in my imagination.
