Trek the Antarctic
Many see
Antarctica as a desolate chilly wasteland, barren of everything but ice and snow. In reality, it is home to a variety of wildlife year-round. Most Antarctic expeditions begin in Ushuaia, Argentina. Nicknamed the “End of the World,” it is one of the southernmost points on the globe. From there, hop aboard your expedition’s vessel, a ship specially crafted to navigate the icy and frigid waters.
Don’t be surprised to see penguins leaping off shorelines and whales jumping the surface of the freezing depths. Upon departing from Ushuaia, spend 6 full days exploring all the wonders the region has to offer, including successfully navigating the treacherously windy Drake Passage.
Enjoy learning about the rich history Antarctica has to offer about explorers who have come before, and about the incredible wildlife of the region. Feeling extra adventurous? Take the plunge with a chilly polar bear dip.
