Television personality Nigel Latta is renowned for his politically incorrect TV series and criminal psychology but Antarctica is his first love. <\/p>\n
The 46-year-old Aucklander is due to fly to the icy continent on Tuesday on Antarctica New Zealand's media programme to film science documentaries. <\/p>\n
\"It's one of those places I've always thought I'm going to get to before I die. If I had to pick one place in the world to go to and I could go nowhere else, I would pick Antarctica, hands down.\" <\/p>\n
While Latta's dreams of visiting Antarctica began as a child, a lecture about penguins during his zoology studies at Otago University in the late 1980s sealed it. <\/p>\n
\"I thought it sounded the most amazing thing.\" <\/p>\n
He enrolled in a Masters in marine science because it included a field trip to Antarctica but was unaware he had to sign up for the trip when the two-year course began. <\/p>\n
When he discovered his mistake a year later, it was too late and he missed out. \"Yeah, typical me, I had an idea and didn't plan it out well,\" he says. <\/p>\n
