Adventure is Calling
If you are an adventure-junkie, Antarctica is the perfect place for you to visit. Getting to Antarctica will be the first adventure you embark on during your trip. In the Summer months (November-March) some of the ice melts and allows for ships to bring passengers to the mainland. You’ll likely make the journey on an ice-breaker, and once you make it over, you can use an inflatable dinghy with an outbound motor to explore the waters surrounding the islands and mainlands. Aside from boating, you can also kayak between glaciers in Antarctica! If you prefer to stay on land, you can always have a campfire, go cross-country skiing or mountaineering.
