This week we’re exploring the most remote corners of the world. In Antarctica – heading deep into the continent to uncover the South Pole. In the Pacific – diving the depths of the Mariana Trench, and in the tropics – visiting uninhabited islands that few people have ever stepped foot on.

All this and more can be had with the advent of Expedition Yachting – the ability to charter a private vessel complete with all the bells and whistles, and have it all to yourself.

Ben Lyons, the CEO of EYOS Expeditions, joins us today to tell stories of the rich and famous gone yachting, why this kind of travel is so important for the world, and to open our eyes to the possibility of exploration.
