Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?

How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
I was prepared. Excitement came later after onerous period of meeting requirements.. Heritage and Swoop need to really emphasize upfront that insurance, doctors note and Australian visa are required or you don't go. Not bury it in standard text. A month before embarkation, I was miserable at the thought I would not be going on it.

No
