We were on Hurtigruten's ship: the MS Roald Amundsen. It's an amazing ship and perfect for a trip of a lifetime like visiting Antarctica. You can check it out here: https://standupmaths.com/antarctica (I payed for the trip myself but I do get a referral fee if you book via that link.)

Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters who mean I can justify a massive trip like this to make videos. For the record: I didn't use Patreon money to pay for the trip. But it did help me justify making so many videos while I was there. You too can help support me: https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths
