"Bus2Antarctica" comes to a successful end - Andrew Evans arrives on his 7th continent
On January 9th, National Geographic writer (and Gadling team member) Andrew Evans set off on a trip to reach Antarctica.
Not that many people make this trip, and while the destination itself is still very special, Andrew made his voyage even more exciting by completing the trip using public bus services. Of course, he had to use a boat to complete the final portion since amphibious public transit services are still in their infancy. 1,650 tweets later, he arrived this afternoon and posted the following message:
Congratulations to Andrew, and many thanks for the fantastic updates during your journey - reading tweets may not be as exciting as actually traveling with you, but it sure did keep me entertained.Just set foot on Antarctica. My 7th continent & the end of my bus journey! http://ow.ly/i/vgQ 68º 16.892' South

Fantastic idea - I was following all the way, he kept me on the edge of my seat, without the sore butt from sitting on several 36-hour busrides!
