Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Antarctica is full of incredible experiences, from the iconic Terra Nova expedition to kayaking past icebergs and penguin colonies. As the coldest and least populated place on earth, Antarctica is incomparable to any other destination. Whether you’re getting excited for your once-in-a-lifetime trip or satisfying your curiosity about this mysterious continent from your (smugly warm) home, our collection of guides and articles will have something for you.
The closest land mass to Antarctica is Ushuaia in Argentina. Many thrill-seeking travelers travel by cruise ship from Ushuaia to Antarctica – going through the infamous Drake Lake – but there are several ways to get there. We’ll show you the best ways to get there, as well as the best cruises.
Accommodation in Antarctica is very different from the rest of the world. Most people sleep on their cruise ship, and there aren’t any hotels in the traditional sense. However, there are luxury cabins, luxury campsites, and not-so-luxury campsites – if you can handle the cold. However, cruise ships provide everything you need, including a warm, comfortable bed, and most importantly, the opportunity to wake up in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.
Antarctica spikes a fascination in most of us. It’s extremely remote, cold, and full of incredible wildlife. It’s been a research topic for hundreds of years, so those of us who can’t visit can still enjoy its mysterious beauty. We’ll dive into the most interesting facts about Antarctica, and share our favorite stories from the Arctic.
