A few hours ago it exploded a strong controversy concerning a trip that Nati Jota and Momo made to Antarctica on a military aircraft for special cover. The announcement was made known through the social networks of the state news agency Télam and generated a strong controversy as those posts accused them of “travelling with state money”.
Aware of the situation Born Jota He posted an extensive note on his social media to refer to the matter and establish his position. “To clarify some doubts, because I read false information in a wild and repeating way”has started its download.
“I am part of an outreach project on Argentine Antarctica, a project that belongs to a production company that produces educational content for young people. He didn’t bring me any media in particular,” she clarified.
“I understand that there is ignorance and this is partly my mission, but for those wondering how I got there or why I got where I came from or if I arrived on a scheduled flight with a ticket paid for by I don’t know who ( ?): the only way to GET THROUGH here is by plane or military vessel (no commercial flights!), In my case, a plane, and far from being used by me (who was it?? Who can think that???) “, continued the influencer.
“There were about 60 other passengers, including scientists, personnel, soldiers, other journalists, etc., and supplies needed for the bases. The Hercules (the aircraft) travels without problems in the summer (provided the weather is good) between Río Gallegos and Marambio Base to exchange personnel and various “things”, Nati explained.
And he continued with his defense: “On the other hand, I’ve read that some people talk about holidays as if Antarctica has hotels, services, like we’re skiing or having a party, I don’t know. The reality is that it is a SCIENTIFIC BASISwith simple structures so that those who work here can live as normal a daily life as possible, period”.
“I spend the day taking notesasking for data (and because I’m curious) and sitting in a small dining room of the house where we are (because it’s very cold outside) talking to other guests who have also come to work for a few days or months, ” Ha added.
“Furthermore, there are, and have come on other occasions, media of all political orientations. Anyone who follows me knows how far I am from 1) talking about politics 2) sympathizing with someone in particular. I don’t want to clarify this because I know the hate of Twitter like few (ha) and probably for the majority my words are useless,” the journalist reflected.
Used to receiving questions in her networks, Nati clarified that “It is that here, whatever you say, they will continue to hit you (It’s kind of suffocating to know, it’s a prison of mistakes that you have the key to, but you can’t use it.)”
“I am happy to be able to communicate data from Antarctica to those who follow me and not only, I myself have found myself discovering and feeling a special representation for this place, which transcends governments and that the only flag it has is Argentina that of all. I’m not going to give more ball to aggression, I’ll close here; Yes, I will continue to share content to fulfill the purpose of my trip: to make our Antarctica better known,” he specified.
“Be patient, we have to download them, edit them and blah,” warned the influencer and closed with a reflection: “You can’t defend what you don’t love, and you can’t love what you don’t know”.

And I realize another dream of those I didn’t know I had, to know a UNIQUE place and with the privilege of being able to share it with you”.

Here, at Marambio Base (I can’t believe I say Marambio Base and it’s not a joke, referring to a remote place -but not so much-) They live between 80 and 200 people, depending on the season of the year, very far from the mainlandwith a super hostile climate, with a special mission and in the community, all collaborating with each other, each with its own contribution and role,” he commented.
“Nothing, a flash. E They don’t know how loving people are here, proud of our Antarctica and super helpful. Well I LOVE YOU! Thank you for accompanying me and pushing me every step of the way. I will continue to tell you and show you more,” she concluded, sharing several postcards from the place.
