If you are thinking of visiting this remote and almost virgin area of the planet there are several things to bear in mind that limit the possibilities of being able to travel instantly.
It is not a destination that can be planned from Christmas to summer, you can only travel on specific dates that coincide with the austral summer and the number of companies that have routes, although much larger than you might think, is limited.
Also, you have to get to the embarkation point, which is usually southern Argentina if the destination is the Antarctic Peninsula.
From Europe and America it is usual to fly to Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile and make a connection with Ushuaia, the so-called city at the end of the world, which is also a very interesting place to visit for its natural beauty and curious history.
Another thing to keep in mind is to find the company that offers a package that fits your budget, but most of all the type of trip you want to make.
Almost no trip, except if you get a place on a scientific ship or travel on a private ship is for “adventurers”.
The use of the word EXPEDITION is to add excitement and to indicate that apart from getting fat eating at all hours on a ship with wifi, bars and even a swimming pool, you will be able to step on land, touch the snow and “feel” like an adventurer.
All very Disney, but at least the scenery is real.
