From the Arctic to the Antarctic

Palin's journey began at the North Pole, where he boarded a Russian icebreaker and set sail for the Arctic Ocean. He traveled through the frozen wastes, encountering polar bears, walruses, and seals, and witnessing the effects of climate change firsthand.

After reaching the Arctic Circle, Palin crossed the Bering Strait and entered the Pacific Ocean. He sailed along the coast of Alaska, Canada, and the United States, before reaching the Panama Canal and crossing into the Atlantic Ocean.

From there, Palin sailed to the Antarctic Peninsula, where he encountered penguins, whales, and seals. He then crossed the Southern Ocean and reached the South Pole, becoming one of the few people to have traveled from one pole to the other.
