Ten weeks, 14 countries, and 10,000 miles later, a lifelong dream to travel to Earth’s frozen continent is—yes!—realized.

Bus2Antarctica began simply: Travel writer Andrew Evans decided he was going to Antarctica, but wanted to get there without spending a boatload of money. So he came to us with a proposal: He’d take the bus—a guaranteed adventure—and post entries to our Intelligent Travel blog en route. We loved the idea—and the story that came out of it.
