Today on AntArctic Stories we have a different kind of guest. In fact, there are two: Tami Harris and Dave Weisman.

We’ve received a number of requests to feature “regular travellers” who have been to the polar regions so we invited Tami and Dave on the program to share their experiences. Since retiring in 2012/2013, Tami and Dave have been spending about 75% of their time travelling, mostly internationally.

Listen to today’s episode to hear about how the pair decided on which trip to take to the Antarctic, what they found was most unexpected about the trip, as well as what wowed them the most, before we switch to the Arctic where they share the contrast between their experiences in the North and South.

This is a must-listen for anyone in the planning stages of a polar expedition. Let us know what you think in the comments!
