The SA Agulhas 2 arriving back in Cape Town harbor on the 28th of February 2026.

"Hi, I’m Herman — a geologist from Johannesburg, South Africa. Every year I travel to one of the most remote and extreme places on Earth: Antarctica. As part of the University of Johannesburg team with SANAP, I conduct geological research at SANAE IV in Queen Maud Land. On this channel, I bring you the real Antarctica — not the Hollywood version. You’ll see what it’s actually like to live and work on the ice: preparing for expeditions in Cape Town, sailing south on the SA Agulhas II, setting up field camps on nunataks, and doing science in one of the planet’s last true frontiers. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to be a scientist at the bottom of the world — raw stories, stunning landscapes, and honest insights from the ice — this is the channel for you. Come join the journey South!"
