As a matter of fact, the snowstorms are really dry and windy which also hindered them to set up tents and walk on the lands of Antarctica. More so, one has to drink water and eat food from bags which kind of gives a jelly-like feeling due to the coldness of the vicinity.
Despite the negative temperature, the icy desert is widely known for its everlasting beauty. And it turns out, there are some extreme measures to maintain this beauty, and the trio shared how the trip was almost jeopardized.

Karl, Sapnap, and George shared how there are certain rules that one has to follow to spend time in Antarctica. Normally, one cannot urinate on the snow and has to deposit it in a bottle which gets further transferred to a bigger one.

Basically, the people visiting the land are cautioned to avoid activities that can harm the beauty of the land’s nature. That way it simply implies that violating the rules could make one be flown out of there immediately. And it seems they had a close call during the filming of the video.
Sapnap recalled Karl admitting, “Antarctica is a prison,” to which he gave an explanation. Karl said that from their base camp’s cafeteria, he usually took two soda cans so that he could save one inside his tent. However, he and Sapnap left the cans outside leaving the probability of them exploding.

To see what happened, George explained how he and Dream went out to see if the cans had exploded. He described, “We walk over there and Dream goes, ‘Oh my God it exploded.’ I thought he was joking and I look around and I just see orange splattered all over the snow.”

Nevertheless, Karl and Sapnap cleaned the snow in 10-15 minutes and were clear of getting thrown out of the icy desert. This instance is enough to portray how meticulous the authorities are with their rules and policies toward preserving nature.
