Crew celebrate on snow-covered sailboat in polar waters
What this video covers
Paula and Pedro are attempting a pole-to-pole circumnavigation under sail in 365 days — a route no one has completed before, sailing south and returning via the north, connecting both polar regions.▶ 0:34 They departed from Castellón roughly two and a half months before this news segment aired on Cuatro Sports News, where they spoke with interviewer Kike Campuzano.▶ 0:08 The primary hazards they describe are sea ice, polar bears approaching the boat during forced stops, severe storms, and extreme waves.▶ 0:54 A 10-meter wave struck the boat and engulfed it completely — crew member Paula describes the moment when the vessel was swallowed inside the wave, everything turning white with neither sky nor sea visible.▶ 1:13 The expedition is documented live on the Allende los Mares YouTube channel, where Paula and Pedro periodically open the microphone to explain decisions and strategy.▶ 0:41 Despite the near-capsize and ongoing dangers, the crew continues toward completing the full vertical circumnavigation within the one-year target.▶ 1:30
