Matty Jordan is one of the most well-known Antarcticans active on social media today. He's used short videos to share information about the continent to hundreds of thousands of people, giving them their first introduction to Antarctic life.

Matty and Keri spent this summer season working at Scott Base together, and sat down for an interview about sharing this continent with the rest of the world

Ever wonder what it takes to lead a mission in the coldest, most unforgiving place on Earth?

In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts, Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) dive into the tricky terrain of leading a team in Antarctica.

From the hierarchical “my way or the highway” approach of Captain Scott… to the more democratic style of Sir Ernest Shackleton, we discuss the leadership secrets that can make or break an expedition in the world’s harshest environment.

We also dig into what we learned about leadership from our co-workers during our time in Antarctica, an environment that can bring out the best and the worst in folks.

Whether you’re planning your own Antarctic adventure, or just trying to lead yourself out of bed in the morning, this episode has something for you.

We’ll show you why being relatable, flexible, and authentic are the real superpowers of any leader, especially when the going gets tough.

Plus, we’ll let you in on a little secret: the most important leader you’ll ever have is YOU.

Ever thought you had it all figured out, only to discover that life had a plot twist waiting for you?

In this episode of Antarctica Did That For Me, we (your hosts, Keri Nelson and Cassa Grant) are diving into the world of mirages. Specifically, we explore Antarctic mirages, which are called Fata Morgana— tricky optical illusions that mess with your mind and make you see things that aren’t really there.

You’ll hear all about how our expectations of Antarctica didn’t exactly match up with reality. (Spoiler alert: it’s not all penguins and glaciers.)

We’ll also dish on the not-so-glamorous side of working with large government organizations like the US Antarctic Program—because, surprise, even the most “stable” systems can have their wobbly moments.

But here’s the twist: when things don’t go as planned, that’s when the magic happens.

This episode will make you rethink your own experiences and how unexpected detours might just be the best part of the journey.

So… prepare to see Antarctica—and maybe even your own life—in a whole new light.

Who knows? You might just find that the things that didn’t go as planned were exactly what you needed.
