9:47 am
your screen here with the systems to watch out for thursday. friday, saturday, right to the weekend. it looks wonderful with temperatures in the 70's and you know what in our hemisphere. it's not even spring but down south. it's still in summer, stephanie. yeah, we're going to talk a bit about that day. thank you. >> if you are planning your next vacation, you may want to stray somewhere off the beaten path like at our travel enthusiast. data remnant is here to explain more. good morning to you. it is certainly off the beaten path. right way. you know, when you think of those remote destinations, ok, antarctica, top of the list in the past decade or so, people are going it's become that bucket list trip for lot of people. so how do you get there, ok? it's not as hard as you might okay, walk us through up. yeah. so from the bay area, a typical itinerary is going to take you to us our east argentina, ok? that's going to be the street flight to get you typically have about 24 hours or so.
9:48 am
once you're there to decompress, explore the city learn your way around town. maybe you'll have the chance to take a tame the lesson. and then you'll fly a few hours further south to use while argentina. that's one of the common. >> departure points for a lot of the sailings. there are different places but you and it's beautiful. this is where you'll spend a few hours and then you'll start the one or two-day stretch of time to cruise. the drake rapped drake passage to reach the antarctic peninsula. now travel to antarctica typically runs november to march. that's antarctica, summer season. so we're at the end of their summer. will it be cold? okay? well, look at so it's going it's going to be cold. but what's your definition of cold? it's very difficult to forecast weather in antarctica. but now that doesn't mean you should always think the worst to put it into perspective. this video is from 2 weeks ago when i sailed aboard viking polar us. it's the end of summer season there. as i said, daytime
9:49 am
temperatures hovered in the mid 30's, low 30's for pretty much the entirety of the trip. >> but that's really not any different. conditions you can encounter in lake tahoe truthfully admittedly, i looked out with more sunny days than gray wet ones, but again, staying warm here is all about just like anywhere else having the right gear. >> like most cruise lines that sale here, biking provides a really heavy coat. you get to take it home at the end of the sailing. if you'd like. and then they lead you boots, waterproof pans, binoculars, all that stuff you'll need while you're on board. antarctica is stunning. the penguins are incredibly charismatic. these are gentoo penguins of the greater five-year ones. you kind of see in the mix. there they are the checks that haven't made it to open ocean yet. but stepping on foot to this remote continent to meet all of this cuteness. it comes with rules and responsibilities. these penguins are really not scared of people. so it's kind of up to us to ensure that the
9:50 am
encounters are are respectful. you're keep a minimum of 15 fit 15 feet distance guides set the past. no more than 100 people are allowed on shore at a time and there are a number of precautions in place, you know, to give you a good example, our boots were disinfected before and after every landing. and when i say disinfected, you stand against a wall and ship ship staff pretty much hold you down with a power washer so that they're taking it very seriously. when you are on land, the only thing allowed to touch the ground is your feet. no kneeling, know sitting down, opening down a camera bag that that type of thing. so it there are rules in place to protect to protect everyone. now the penguins tend to get the bulk of that attention. but there is a variety of wildlife to look forward to february-march people. well watching season and antarctica, feasting on krill before they prepare to go a warmer waters. they put on what i think is the biggest show in the area. you will

also if you keep your eyes peeled, find work as they are harder spot. but there they go to keep looking. viking has a smaller fleet of boats that allow travelers to get on and off the cruise ship to see more wildlife to see more landscape. but the ship also carries kayaks. i strongly recommend this. you get a view that you any other way like a chance meeting with for steals. these guys are close related to the sea lions that we know here. so their antics are just entertaining as you paddle along there are time of cruise lines going to antarctica. now the ship i was on biking players. there are a relative newcomer only only a couple years into it, but they're differentiating themselves by leaning into science and education on board. there's working lab. there's a team of scientists and they're they're completing tasks, tripoli, that travelers are in a custom to seeing on a cruise ship. they're collecting data on fish populations. the researching microplastics in water samples that they're taking while

they're sailing and even in antarctica, there are weather balloons. david, appreciate this. their launch from the ship and not only can guess go out on board to watch. but minutes after the data is released, they can watch as the readings come down. they're learning about temperature pressure, humidity. you know how these blues come into factor in weather forecast all around the world when we're watching, actually, we could see in real time a weather balloon had been launched in the bay area and someone was was tracking that one. so this is just kind of a a taste. you even get rainbows on days in antarctica. so it's one of those spots. people have no idea what to expect. but what to think of. but they think about it. so, yeah, it's becoming more of an option that people are going there more frequently. but i think there's a responsibility that comes along absolutely. and i love what you're describing the whole experience being very about putting the emphasis on the respect towards the local wildlife at south there that selecting and

helps bring everybody down. lee. absolutely. and you know, it is one of those things. i mean, we try and behave replaces. hopefully everybody does that. >> but i was taking a picture and the penguin was curious and it started okay. i'm i'm going now. i'm right back up now. so it's just one of those things. i'm i mean, it's a bucket list trip for for many, many people. we just need to make sure we respected and take care of it. absolutely. and how was and do have to be, you know, a great shape be able to participate. that's a good. that's a good question. i mean, certainly being inc, good shape is the better shape you're in, the you can. the more you can do the more you can enjoy it. that said that the staff are incredibly helpful. when you go on l in antarctica, there aren't docks are in the boats. can't so you're going you're going to kind of scoot off that boat and you're going to go into water. they are all wet landings and then you're going to walk that short distance inso good fitness is a good thing, but there are a lot of people to help you. and if there's something that looks a little too intimidating, you can just stay on the ship. you're still going to that beautiful scenery. all right, dana redmond, our travel expert,
