TRAVEL To the ANTARTICA
5 REASONS
Antarctica, as opposed to the Arctic, is a continent – and as such the only one without a permanent human population. There are, however, temporary inhabitants, mostly researchers. Antarctica is not a minor landmass, it is twice the size of Australia and 98% is covered in ice. The average altitude is 2 500 metres above sea level. Hence it is a cold continent, the lowest measured temperature is minus 89° C. However, it will be much warmer when and in the areas that we intend to visit!
Adventure Opportunities
From ice climbing and kayaking to camping on the ice and polar plunges, Antarctica offers a range of thrilling adventure activities for the intrepid traveler.
The ice formations in Antarctica are incredibly diverse and beautiful. You’ll see massive icebergs, intricate ice caves, and expansive ice shelves. The different shapes and sizes of these ice structures, often with vibrant blue hues, are breathtaking.
Breathtaking Landscapes
The icy landscapes of Antarctica are unlike anything else on Earth. Massive glaciers, icebergs, and the pristine, snow-covered scenery create a surreal and awe-inspiring environment.
Depending on the time of year, you can experience the unique phenomena of the midnight sun (continuous daylight during the summer months) or polar nights (continuous darkness during the winter). These extremes offer a rare experience of the Earth’s axial tilt in action.
Photography Opportunities
The dramatic landscapes, unique wildlife, and extreme weather conditions provide unparalleled opportunities for photography.
Whether you’re an amateur or a professional photographer, the stunning visuals of Antarctica offer countless chances to capture extraordinary images.
Unique Wildlife
Antarctica is home to a variety of unique wildlife, including penguins, seals, and whales. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The pristine and relatively untouched ecosystem of Antarctica provides a unique opportunity to see wildlife that has adapted to one of the harshest environments on Earth. This makes it a paradise for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Cultural Immersion
Antarctica has a rich history of exploration. You can visit historic sites like the huts used by early explorers such as Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott. These sites provide a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by the pioneering adventurers of the early 20th century.
Antarctica is one of the last truly unspoiled places on Earth. The strict environmental regulations in place help preserve its pristine condition. Visiting Antarctica allows you to experience a landscape that remains largely untouched by human activity.
