Ahhhh what an adventure this North Pole series has been!! Sooo proud of you Kar Bear… 50% excited, 50% nervous for a polar plunge!! YOU ARE ONE INDEPENDENT LADY MISSY! Love you both 💛✨

Kara doing a backflip and Nate yelling “Who’s in charge of the SHOTS!?” will be my energy for the rest of the week. 😂

[andersb]

Nate's plunge in and under the ice water was stunning! The clarity and serenity of the moment was awesome. Hope you make a still photo of that. That is pure art!

[Robisquick]

That's a handsome captain. He looks like the most captainiest, trustworthy, learned, and captivating, captain in the world.

[andydrew]

I have so much respect for the captain and his crew. The amount of training and focus it takes to control a mammoth ship through ice is unbelievable. I also have just as much respect if not more for the cabin crew and everyone else working on these ships. It’s a logistical marvel. It’s a literal small city floating on water and ice.

[annecaunce]

I just grinned the whole way through this video. You're doing things most of us don't even dare to dream about, but you never take it for granted. I love how respectful you are to the crew and staff and I'm sure it endears you to them. Keep on being those 2 folks from Tennessee, but please don't ever stop filming your adventures, because 3.2million of us bloody love watching.

Dear Kara and Nate. I am a 64 yr old gma. Your content has brought such happiness to me, even when I had Covid very badly. I wanted you to know that I have voted for you guys to win travel influencer of the year EVERY 24hrs since they opened the voting. This is just my little way of saying THANKYOU for sharing your travels with me.💜

[Xavierpng]

I love when Nate is like "I'm gonna do a belly flop!" And the guy's just like "OK" LOL

[elyshacohen]

“Where should I eat caviar next” should become a new Kara spin off show!

[lindsaybussard]

I got such goosebumps and excitment tears in my eyes for you all when you made it to the North Pole. How exciting!!!

[mommmpt]

At any point the captain could have said, "We made it!" and only the crew could have known he was lying. So, all that effort meant it was the real deal!! I'm so excited you got to do this. I really enjoy watching your videos. In your early videos there was almost a hesitation wondering if it was okay you were talking to us. Now, you are both confident and welcoming as you take us on your journeys!! Thanks a million!!

[lauramoore]

Oh my gosh, seeing the housekeeping team be just as excited as the guests made me so happy!!! I love that they're also included in the expedition!

[bren_sanz]

Started watching during the pandemic with the Antarctica series. You restored my YouTube feed and now i'm a Youtube lover like I have never been. Your content is amazing and now the arctic Keep travelling and showing us the world, we love You ❤️

[martinolsen]

I built this ship :D Amazing to see you enjoying this amazing ice breaker) I was sailing with Le commandant the first time we hit Ice, in June 2021 before delivery.

[Cupidssatan]

Not me bubbling over the fact these two finally made it to the North Pole. They’ve been travelling for so many years, and this I’m pretty sure has been on their bucket list for ages. So proud of these guys🥹🤍

[mollygee]

I love the captain! He is so passionate about what he does!

[RenataPereiraTV]

I cried of joy when the captain announced the 90° and cried with laughter with Nate’s belly flop!!

[tiieli]

Kara says, “This is the best day of my life.” In almost every video. If that’s not goals - I don’t know what is.

[AuntieMelonFaucet]

I'd love to know more about any potential environmental impacts of these ships, both in terms of cruise tourism and then generally icebreakers and how/if they contribute to any loss of sea ice! would love to hear you guys give some environmental info about this super cool journey you're sharing.

I started watching your channel in 2020 just before the pandemic shut everything down. I decided to watch from the beginning and I have finally caught up. It has been an incredible journey just to watch you two go through 6 years of travel. If you decide to have kids I hope you keep travelling, as parent it would be amazing to see how you figure it out. I have debated with my wife what it would look like if we took the kids out of school and started travelling. It feels very hypothetical at this point, but I guess it does for everyone until it's a reality. I hope you keep going for a long time! It has brought such joy to watch these videos during a very trialing time. Thank you
