“It’s just so remote” - MrBeast explains hardest part of filming in Antarctica

MrBeast is no stranger to leveling up the stakes with content creation. Jimmy has done everything from being buried in a casket to making a real-life Squid Game replica video. His recent venture in Antarctica was the latest addition to his long list of extraordinary videos.

Upon being asked about the challenges of filming in Antarctica, the creator stated:

“The hardest part was just getting out there. It’s just so remote and you know, you land the plane on this ice runway, it is so sketchy and then once the plane takes off, you’re just there. You’re in the most remote place on planet and it’s just very breathtaking.”

Continuing, Jimmy stated that their visit was in the middle of nowhere. He said:

"If you have the chance to ever go to Antarctica, I would recommend it. In the video, we claimed a mountain, that wasn't named, so we couldn't name it, and standing on top of the mountain, just seeing 'nothing,' cause once you get outside the outskirts, you get deep in Antarctica, there are no penguins, nothing lives there at all, so there's just nothing."

He further shared a rather interesting fact about visiting Antarctica during the summer:

"If you go during the summertime, the sun never goes down. So the sun is up 24/7. It's just like spinning, circles at the top of the plain or whatever, it looks like the top. Yeah, it was very beautiful."
