Klaus DoddsGUEST
There's no question at all that...
Klaus DoddsGUEST
Stanley, Ushuaia, Punta Arenas are all Antarctic gateways.
Klaus DoddsGUEST
And some of that is utterly benign in the sense of they are gateways for, for example, Antarctic tourism.
Klaus DoddsGUEST
You know, anyone who's been to Ushuaia will know, as I know firsthand, there's plenty of traffic in the summer season that is going back and forwards towards the Antarctic peninsula.
11 MINS LATER
Klaus DoddsGUEST
We also discovered that Chile was a vital supporter of the United Kingdom during the 1982 conflict.
Klaus DoddsGUEST
And the reason, by the way, was very straightforward.
Klaus DoddsGUEST
Argentina and Chile had been locked into a conflict over the Beagle Channel, which is a body of water and land, very close actually to Ushuaia and Punta Arenas, very strategic, disputed.
Klaus DoddsGUEST
The two countries very nearly went to war over the Beagle Channel, later resolved by the intervention of the Pope some years later.

Josh MundayHOST
And with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." Okay, so very important here.
Josh MundayHOST
So, um- We gotta be careful, right? Uh, sometimes, you know, even right now with, with the trip that I'm taking to, uh, Punta Arenas and, uh, and the Edmonton, Canada trip that I already did, uh, I'm being judged right now by a lot of, uh, you know, a few people in the ind- the flat Earth industry because...
Josh MundayHOST
Or the flat Earth, uh, community because they're, um, they're kinda coming at me, you know? So they're judging me.
Josh MundayHOST
They're trying to act like, uh, I'm, uh, some plant or something like that.
speaker_2HOST
[tense music] In 1913, a strange report began moving through newspapers around the world, and it was exactly the kind of story that seemed made for Cape Horn.
speaker_2HOST
Somewhere near Punta Arenas, close to the southern end of South America, a vessel was reported to have come upon a ship adrift in those cold, violent waters.
speaker_2HOST
Those aboard tried to make contact with anyone on the drifting ship, but there was no answer or even movement spotted.
speaker_2HOST
As the sailors drew closer, the details became stranger.
Jim GeduldickGUEST
Um, I got to work mainly on like the South America section.
Jim GeduldickGUEST
Um, so that was the whole, the whole fun part, um, like in Punta Arenas and, you know, um, it, everybody knew in the trailer too of just like them talking about hey we're running out of fuel and let's go here and you know the guide's like you know who the fuck are you and um you know it's like building up the dramatics of it too it's just like it was a different way of storytelling it was like taking you know hardcore snowboarding at a very very high level at the highest level taking filmmaking to another part and taking storytelling because, you know, yeah, there were, there were documentaries and there were the Warren Miller films, but it was just, it was a different approach for the art of flight than like anybody had ever seen.
Jim GeduldickGUEST
Obviously with, you know, Red Bull backing and Trav backing and, and having, um, the names involved, you're just like, the riding alone you'd show up for.
Jim GeduldickGUEST
But the storytelling aspect to it was like, you know, Kurt wanting to take it somewhere else with it, where like, that's it, that's all was a snowboarder's like flick.
Andrés García VigioHOST
Elena nos cuenta: "Agradezco a Dios por sus palabras que han cambiado mi vida.
Andrés García VigioHOST
Escucho El Amor Que Vale en Chile, en la ciudad de Punta Arenas.
Andrés García VigioHOST
Tengo una hermosa familia.
Andrés García VigioHOST
Tenemos grandes deseos de pertenecer a la familia del Señor.
Claudia Diaz-BoitanoGUEST
Yeah.
Claudia Diaz-BoitanoGUEST
Punta Arenas, which is very down there.
Claudia Diaz-BoitanoGUEST
I mean, the end of the world.
Claudia Diaz-BoitanoGUEST
So that's incredible.
Sam SewardGUEST
Different companies call it different things, but that's about skipping the Drake.
Sam SewardGUEST
And you can fly, in our case, from Punta Arenas in Chile down to King George Island, which is a sort of small military air base.
Sam SewardGUEST
And then that gives you a advantage point to be picked up by our ship and then take that same or very similar five-day peninsula visit And then back to King George Island and enjoy a, a very short and comfortable flight as opposed to some- sometimes but a bumpier crossing on the Drake, sometimes very smooth.
Sam SewardGUEST
And then there's a, a really broad range of longer itineraries to places like the Falkland Islands or South Georgia, which we would, we more broadly class as epic itineraries, and those can be, uh, uh, 23, 25 days plus, so much longer, and go maybe outside and off the beaten track a little more.

In fact, they wore none until of later years they began getting cast off garments from wrecks and are now making some of their own clothing from the skins of animals.
speaker_12NARRATOR
On this strait is located Punta Arenas, which is the southernmost town in the world.
speaker_12NARRATOR
It is directly south of Boston and farther south of the equator than Winnipeg is north of it.
speaker_12NARRATOR
Only about a thousand people live here.
speaker_12NARRATOR
Many of them are rough characters and live hard and comfortless lives.
speaker_12NARRATOR
This town is the only port within a thousand miles.
speaker_12NARRATOR
Although cold and cheerless most of the time, yet millions of sheep are raised in this southern land, and Punta Arenas is the shipping point.
speaker_12NARRATOR
A kind of coarse grass grows here that is nourishing, and sheep thrive and live for weeks alone upon the open plains.
Carlos FidaPANELIST
The ships, for example, the ship that I'm going on next March around Latin America, that's what we go around.
