    Wow, how beautiful it is. And those whales…..I would love to see a whale in the wild.

  2. Harri Pykäläinen Says:

    I can really feel it as I am already living near Antartic like environment in Finland where the temp during winter can go -45 C in Lappland and -35 C in Southern Finland where I live. One think I am strongly recommending is ICE HOLE SWIMMING in lake or see.
    The colder the weather is the better you feel mentally and physically coming up from the icy hole. One thing is that you do not catch flu easily and if you get it is milder.

    By the way I am a SEAL type = LABRADOR type.

    Ahhh such awe inspiring beauty is this beautiful. pristine land of Mother Nature. Thank you for planting the seed. Keep it well watered and what will be, will be………….”

  4. Penne & the CanDo! Crew :o) Says:

    Chillin’ and Thrillin’ in the Antarctic ~ WOW! Are we on target for launch, guys?

  5. Clorine Says:

    Antarctica does sound beautiful. However, I’m not terribly interested in travelling overseas. My partner of 32 years and myself want to get a caravan when we both retire and go around Australia, where we live, as I haven’t seen much of it yet, living in Adelaide and spent some time in Sydney.

  6. Ineke catharina Says:

    I am a whale type , the biggest one around.

  7. Nicanor P. Tiosen Says:

    Each has a trait all its own. I’d say I love to be myself.

  8. Shirley Brocklesby Says:

    Since watching the Secret 2 years ago I have become more and more aware of the law of attraction and the need for self development. I try to think positive every day and practice manifesting things into my life. I would love to travel to Antarctic on a small ship and I’ve got this on my vision board. It would be easy to go on a huge cruise liner but this is not the way I want to go as you only see Antarctic from a distance and I want to be close up and personal. I’ve kayaked down the Orinoco tributary in Venezuela and that was awsome listening to the howling monkey, so peaceful but to kayak in the Antarctic with all the wildlife around would be the ultimate experience. I’ve travelled to Lapland and been on a huskey safari so have experience of cold weather and with the right clothes all is well. I don’t want to get to the end of my life and have “if only”, I want to be able look back and say “yes, I did it all”. See you all there.

    My dream is to get my Mary Kay, Ameriplan, Equita Mortgage Businesses going full blast helping people and making an honest wage. I want a pink cadillac from Mary Kay and help people get some type of coverage for their health/wellnes with Ameriplan, while making sure people are able to get Mortgage Insurance at an affordable rate to protect their families.

    6) Be able to rebuild my moms Corvette that I partly destroyed in a fire that I was responsible for.
    7) Major owner of a resturant franchise.
    8) To become the wealthiest living person to ever come out of Waianae, Hawaii.
    9) Cuddle up with pet White Tiger cubs and play with them when they grow big.
    10) Be a board member of a non profit organization and make money for and from it.

  11. Jason Says:

    I want to kayak with a whale too

  12. Elbert Says:

    Hi Nik,
    Thanks for visiting, that seams like a lot of excitement.
    I’m not a cold weather person I mean not too cold.

    I’m getting the hang of things,its good to hear from
    The thrillionaires.

    Have a great day

    Elbert

  13. April Dawn Says:

    IAM ready to go. I am a FREEBIRD. no ties to anything. Pure freedom. I feel the cool air blowing through my hair. Soaking for hours in the warm peaceful water. Getting to spend time in place not many get to be blessed to explore. I travel the road less traveled. I AM ready to be near GODS creatures. IAM ready. I will bring the LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS.
    Thank You
    Your prayers are answered. with me

  14. tony shirren Says:

    Sounds awesome!! thrillionaires, a few of my friends have done trips to Mawson and one a marine bio research trip and they all ended up returning multiple times they said the experience was life changing, I’ts been five kids ago since I travelled the world looking for thrills, would love to get the adrenaline pumping again before I croak , except I need a lot more practice trading futures before I can afford to go with you guys but I’m sure the 50 that go will never regret it , cheers

  16. M. O. Says:

    Fantastic! Antartica is really high in my “to go” list! I can’t wait for the adventure points system!

  17. Amanda H. Says:

    That really was awesome, I could never in my wildest dreams ever imagine such a heavenly place. Being so close to the penguins, whales, and seals would be amazing. It would definitely be something you would never forget. Maybe one day I will be able to join one of these adventures.
    Thank-you

  18. Diana Says:

    How awesome! What beautiful scenes.

  19. Roger Says:

    It has been a while since I watched the sunrise and sunset in the middle of the pacific. The video brought back memories and feelings I haven’t felt and share for many years now. Thanks for the trip back into time and my adventures relived on the high seas. Perhaps another adventure is unfolding today! It begins with a thought and I thank-you for percipitating this one!

    Have a fantastic day!

  20. SherAnne Says:

    Dear Thrillionaires,
    Thanks for welcoming me! I hope that I can benefit from the Thrillionaires community. Well, I am definitely more of a seal type. I am an author, writer and poet.
    Thank you!

  21. Leanne Janson Says:

    How Awesome!!! I so want to go. I put my name down to go with P.B. but it hasn’t worked out this year. As a single mum coming out of my cave and transitioning back into the world, I’m working on lots of projects and getting my mindset ready to make my dreams into reality. Please, keep these trips happening as I know I will make it to the next one!! I can’t wait to sit in the hot spa while it’s freezing all around us, what a contrast. To be so near such huge majestic animals would be mindblowing. All the wine and food would be the cherry on top, not to mention the awesome company of so many like minded friends not yet met!! Can I reserve for the trip after this one!! Pleeaasse. There will be another one, won’t there??

  22. Lenore Nolan Ryan Says:

    I have wrapped my intention and desire around my trip to Antarctica with you. The vastness and immense openness of the surroundings will surely allow my mind, body and spirit to follow suit. I await with faith my itinerary.

  23. Donna Corless Says:

    I would love to go there and photograph. I’ve never been much of a camper, but I’m very open to new experiences and would like to try it. When is the trip? I don’t have any winter gear…since I’m living in Cairo, Egypt right now. Please tell me more.

  24. Donna Says:

    It’s beautiful, but I am a warm weather person. That is my dream. To leave our cold weather in Ohio for a couple of months. Palm trees, white sand, the warmth of the sun. Can’t wait for the journey. Thanks for the awesome video.

  25. Bryan Says:

    your’e so right what a fab looking place.

  26. Big Al - Hot Dog Master Says:

    Hey Guys

    I have been very busy for a while and have neglected to post, but could not miss the opportunity to say how awsome this all sounds and good luck to the first 50 lucky people. Looking forward to hearing from each and every one of you just how amazing this lifetime experience was.

    Thrill Seekers United, wow what a team.

  27. Lesley Says:

    Hi Y all from the deep south. Australia I’m talking about guys. Unfortunately the video didn’t play on my ‘puter but reading the comments it was obviously about the wild life on Antartica. I’m Wiccan so my thoughts & loyalties live with the animals & the earth. yes I would love to do a trip to the “ICE” as it is known down this end of the world. I would love to walk among the wide life & be accepted for what I am, not what I believe. Without the animals there really is no earth. We have to look after what we have now or there will be nothing left to pass on to our childrens children. I have had the good fortune to go whale watching here in Queensland & it reduced me to tears, it was such a moving experience. My next thing is to sit with the white tigers at sea world. My only problem is I get so emotional I will need yards & yards of tissues.
    No matter what your dreams they can come true
    Cheers Lesley

    Thanks

  29. Ineke catharina Says:

    What Antarctica???I always wanted to be a pinquin! Happy feet just hang on, i will be home soon .! I am on my way home .
    Love Ineke

  30. Trish Says:

    I want to kayak with a humpback.That would be unbelievable. Thanks for the video and the chance to escape from the mundane of daily living. You gave me a brief opportunity to let my mind dream and spirit soar.

  31. Martina Says:

    This sounds really appealing. Thank you!
    Martina

  32. John & Lee-anne Says:

    Sounds awesome! Something we’ve dreamt about but didn’t think could happen. We think the excitement and the great company would stop any chill getting in. It won’t be the fear of the cold that keeps us away.

  33. Kerry Dillon Says:

    Aristotle once said; “Man is a goal seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.”

    Woo Hoo Thrillionaires. Let’s all reach out. Antartica looks incredible, imagine all the amazing pictures of the wildlife you can take and of course don’t forget the funny shots of the other 49 ‘party animals’ that will be there as well. The class room is going to be like none other we have ever experienced before. I want to be there!

    Make it happen,
    Cheers Kerry.

  34. Pam Dean Says:

    Hey, I was there on that trip on the video! And in that spa which was nice and warm, as were the stones! It was getting dressed afterwards whilst it was snowing that was cold. You won’t feel the cold generally because you’re dressed for the weather and you won’t venture out without being fully dressed. Believe me!

    To have penguins swimming around you and under your kayak, looking up at you as they stand next to you on the ice, to paddle so close as to be only metres away from a Weddell Seal is awesome and something one cannot describe. The whole experience and the feeling of pure humbleness is something you cannot put into words. The one thing we all agreed was “How on earth do you go home and describe this to somebody”. You just can’t. You have to experience for yourself.

    Joanne, I was like you. Wanted to go but couldn’t see how. I ended up selling my house to go…which I have never regretted.

    Honestly everyone, if you get a chance to go to Antarctica, do so. Pete Bland and Nik looked after us well! You will never forget it nor ever regret it.

    Hee hee. And I wasn’t even paid for this plug nor does Nik know I was writing it. Hi Nik!!!! But if anyone has any questions and Nik doesn’t have a problem with me answering from my experience, just post your question. Nik, do you have a problem with me doing so? You know my email address if you want to answer privately.

  35. adam Says:

    yeh that would be cool !!! What’s it cost??

  36. Melissa Perry Says:

    I’ve been writing an opera libretto about Antarctica for years. Would really like to see it happen. It’s on my bucket list. Yes, I can see myself there, but not just yet. I have a sick lilttle girl to take care of. I sang to some whales a few years ago and they surfaced much longer than usual to listen to me. i sing loud and high! HAVE A GREAT TRIP

  37. Jorge Says:

    Not ready yet guys, I just joined today, but it gives me a scope of your crazyness, holly crazyness!!! Hope soon I will be up to your challenges!

    Best wishes, warm regards, love you all guys!

    Hey Guys!
    What an unbelievable adventure that will be. This is something I have wanted to do for a while and now it is within reach. To experience the whales in this environment would be an amazing thing. The whole trip would be a huge challenge and mind shift which is what we all need to move forward.

  52. Helen Says:

    Wow! Antarctica looks beautiful!
    Especially the hot spa! How cool? hot? cool? hot? that would be.

    When I have heard about Antarctica in the past, it has never really interested me but you Nik, make it look like something from another world.

    Will you be coming too?

    Helen

  53. Samuel Kerekes Says:

    This is it, I can not imagine anything better then to be part of an extra special adventure with extra special people and nature. I am looking forward to experiencing one of the greatest feelings ever, that will remain in my mind and heart for ever.

    Thank you for this great opportunity!

  54. Yola Says:

    Wow what a picture…I love it. I just absolutely love nature, I can see myself with those wonderfully beautiful animals : ), I think I`d freeze my butt off, seeing that I`m accustomed to warmer weather, but I`ll be happy just for the experience. That`s something that you`ll always have.
    I`m not a drinker so that part `s not for me.
    Thanks you guys.

  55. Tifa Says:

    Antartica?? Wow..! Umm.. I love to go but it is going to make me so freeze, is there any warm destination??

  56. frankie Says:

    man that sounds so cool. I would have to say I am the whale type where I am extremely curious of things going on around me. I wish I could be there with you all. the cold doesn’t sound that bad either as it gets really cold here where I am from too.
    Make sure you rub a whale for those of us who can’t
    Good luck and Gods-speed!

  60. Brendan Says:

    Wow that looks so amazing. Going to the Antarctica is something i’ve always wanted to do as a kid. I love nature and to see it in its most natural state is truly unbelievable. I am the type that will never miss a program from Sir David Attenborough on discovery channel. I feel I like my old self is coming out again. That happy go lucky kid is surfacing. When are we leaving ????

  63. Phyllis Swenson Says:

    Beautiful video. I love whales, penguins, and seals. The 24-hour sun sounds great. Also the financial seminars sound like a winner. I’d love to go but the climate is a bit too cold for my thin blood. If you do something similar in a warmer climate, such as the Caribbean, then count me in. Wishing you guys lots of fun. Looking forward to hearing about it. En-JOY!

    Tally Ho,
    Phyllis

  64. Catherine Ross Blair Says:

    Dear Nik, Keep spying on those Russians man! Congratulations on just another example of how you are truly inspiring and leading so many of us to literally think Expansively and to Explore phenomenal opportunities!

    You and (Ridgely of course) are so remarkable and I thoroughly enjoyed your description of the whole expedition to Anartica! What an incredible ‘TEAM’ of like-minded individuals such as yourself, Mark Victor Hansen and Bill Bartmann!

    Nik, you are deeply appreciated!

    I can see myself there YES!!!!

  66. Doreen Says:

    I want to know what is required from me…because this sounds like a dream come true, and it seems like no one would just take me to Antarctica….
    I had a dream last night of being in a vast open space and seeing the moon so large with a billion clear, twinkling stars and I was in such awe of the beauty! Yes, I can see myself there; I can feel the hair in my nostrils freezing, I can smell the fishy smell of the animals, and I breathe it all in with gusto! Thank you for sharing the excitement and beauty of nature!

  67. Mike Flavell Says:

    Something I want to do as part of my 9 and 11 year old education. The money spent on this wll have more value than $30k PA each at private school. Better get my Dubli skates on…
