Think it’s hard staying inside? Explorer and environmental educator @ELexplore traversed the coldest, windiest, driest place on the planet, #Antarctica, last year (with his Promaster Altichron, of course) and he’s got the super-chill video to prove it. #GoBeyond #SavetheBeyond

“Life for everyone is outside the norm right now. What is going to happen tomorrow or next week—who knows? Knowing that at some point it will get better and that the lessons learned will be hard won and incredibly valuable. That’s perspective and it is a useful tool.” @ELexplore

O'Brady totally embellished his feat and is in so deep that he can't afford to stop. Of course he's going to play it off on JRE. Him complaining about his feat being potentially reclassified... Exactly what happened to Borge, though Borge was straight up about what he did.

Actually, @AaronTeasdale displayed an impressive dedication to investigative journalism with this account. Joe Rogan sucked Colin O'Brady's dick, of course Colin is going to try to spin it.

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Polar specialists agree with Aaron’s article. My suggestion - spend the next 10 years learning our craft and then come back with an opinion

A century of dogs - the first dogs in #Antarctica arrived #OnThisDay #OTD in 1899 when Carsten Borchgrevink landed 75 at Cape Adare. The last dogs were removed from the continent in 1994 to comply with the Antarctic Treaty; this photo by Frank Hurley from Mawson’s 1911 expedition

I used to guide dudes (always dudes) like @colinobrady all the time. They’re always looking to buy their way into some record or hero story & merchandise their “firsts” through silly thin slicing and embellishment. Maybe we can stop fetishizing soloists. nationalgeographic.com/adven…

Did you know that @msr_gear was one of the first companies to use Gore-Tex for recreational wear? This spirit of innovation has driven us for 50 years and counting, and it’s on display at Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry (@MOHAI) now through October 14th.

Open water in summer (polynya) in front of Ross Ice Shelf generates warm water, transporting heat into the cavity beneath ice shelf, causing melt rates to nearly triple - revealing new data from oceanographic mooring beneath the Ross Ice Shelf bit.ly/2XSjAR3 @niwa_nz
