Icebergs, glaciers, scientific research bases, penguins… as if it were the tragic expedition of Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic superhero, to the South Pole. What we imagine is real, and there are opportunities for travel that allow you to experience it. Here are some notes from the journal of our trip to Antarctica aboard an expedition cruise vessel.
The Antarctica remains a remote territory that is difficult for travellers to access, yet interest in discovering it has not diminished. A trip to Antarctica has enormous appeal and offers a truly exceptional journey. The most sensible alternative for travel to the Antarctic continent is still the ship, but cruises to the South Pole vary in the experiences they offer.
Group cancellations that leave a boat available; dates when expected bookings do not materialise... Bad news for organisers, but a unique opportunity to travel at a good price to one of the planet's last unspoilt regions: Antarctica.
