Joe Rogan asks weird things about Antarctica
During the episode, Joe Rogan questioned Andy Stumpf, "What was weird about Antarctica?" and Stumpf replied, "There is nothing there. If you want to go see all the wildlife available, you cannot go to the interior of Antarctica which is where we were."
He added, "At the South Pole, there is a bunch of pure science going on as per my understanding which are funded by the government. The other side is just plain tourism. You can go see glaciers and other things. They have remote camps and different types of tents which have been set up there."
He further mentioned, "It's on ice field. There are no insects, no wildlife, the sun doesn't go down and they have alot of food. They have a full dining facility."
