What's It Like to Be on Antarctica? | Continent 7: Antarctica

[Music] We're in a frozen continent making what is my first dinner in Antarctica. My name is JJ Kelly, and I am a producer at National Geographic. I had the chance to go down to Antarctica, one of a very select few that made the series "Continent 7."

So, "Continent 7: Antarctica" for me is a really exciting series because Antarctica is a place that not a lot of people know about. You really don't know what makes it tick down there; you don't know what the people are like. And it's not just a surface glance at what happens in Antarctica. We follow these people; we learn about their stories. We see their failures, we see their successes.

The first time I went down there, I was on the Ross Ice Shelf. Imagine a piece of ice that's the size of France. My wife was so sweet, and she knew that I would be living in a tent at sometimes -30, -40, 40, 50, 60, 70 mph winds away from all communication. So, she wrote a letter every day.

In the morning when I woke up in my tent, I was able to read this letter, and it connected me with home. That was the one comfort that really kind of got me through the day. So, I think that the people down in Antarctica I thought were the most fascinating. It gets in their blood, and they go back again and again. I got a little bit of that too, being down there.
