That moment sounds weirdly haunting.

So curious about the woman that passed by with tears.

I’m immediately coming up with stories in my head to make sense of it.

“There’s no urge in them to conquer, but more to understand an enigmatic place” is a beautiful sentiment.

I’ll be watching this one. I’m excited. Especially with what you mentioned about Herzog getting those candid interviews.

This is so fascinating, Oscar. These two lines sparked my curiosity to travel to Antarctica:

“There’s an implicit thread of curiosity being their reason to be there. Curiosity to explore every last corner of earth, dive into the unknown and come out with something unexpected.”

So beautiful said. I’ve added the Herzog documentary to my watch-list. It feels like something that will make me ask “why didn’t I watch this sooner?”

Also, I’m curious how you and your wife decided on your honeymoon destinations. So many places to go! Perhaps we save this topic for one of our discussions.

Your writing always calms me down, Oscar. You have this power of making the reader feel at ease and instantly transporting them wherever you’re writing from (cause it feels like you’re writing from the places and situations you’re describing, every time). I love this issue, and your appreciation of Herzog transpires nicely. Bravo!
