The Frozen Planet

In December 2025, I had the extraordinary privilege of traveling to Antarctica as part of the National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship aboard the National Geographic Endurance. Journeying below the Antarctic Circle, I experienced one of the most remote and awe-inspiring places on Earth. A landscape of towering icebergs, vast glaciers, remarkable wildlife, and a silence unlike anywhere else.

This StoryMap shares the journey through photographs, reflections, and stories from the expedition. More than a travel journal, it is a celebration of exploration, curiosity, and the lessons that wild places can teach us about ourselves and our world. I hope these stories inspire you to embrace wonder, seek new perspectives, and protect the incredible places that continue to shape us.

Explore the interactive StoryMap below and follow the expedition through Antarctica, one destination, one story, and one unforgettable moment at a time.
