and in fact his final destination was Antarctica. But I don't know for sure whether or how he made it there "free". (And "free" is not in the FTer sense; for example, I know from the one TV episode I did catch so far that he made it across the Atlantic by signing up for work on a commercial container ship. He didn't start out with having points, he started with having no money.)
from his website:
To cross from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Antarctica, he worked on a luxury cruise ship as an assistant to the expedition leader. “You clean the boots of the tourists, you help them on the ice, you put red flags around the penguin field, you help refill the boats with gasoline,” he said.
My problem with working a job like that, is you really wouldn't get any opportunity to just relax and enjoy the place you're visiting.
