Antarctica · About Before your trip

Few people ever get to go to Antarctica. You could be one of them with the Airbnb Sabbatical, joining environmental scientist Kirstie Jones-Williams as she investigates whether microplastics have made their way to this remote continent. ⁣ ⁣ We’re looking for five volunteers from around the world to take part in this first-of-its-kind expedition, in partnership with @OceanConservancy. Your effort will help us to better understand the impact of plastic on our planet and what we can do to help. ⁣ ⁣ It won’t be easy, but if you think you have what it takes, apply by 11:59pm EDT on October 8, 2019. Link in bio. Terms apply.
