Antarctica is a cold and barren polar desert. The only residents of this unwelcoming continent are penguins, seals, various seabirds, and members of international research teams. Nevertheless, this frozen realm might have more to offer than most of us imagine. Since Antarctica’s extreme climate makes it an interesting specimen for researchers and an adventurous journey for expeditioners, demand for exclusive luxury Antarctica tours has been rising in recent years.
The frozen landmass covering the South Pole has been one of the most isolated parts of the world for the last millennia. Even though we have evidence that some aboriginal communities in New Zealand knew there was an ice-covered land in the south, no human settlement on the continent existed until recently. Besides being a perfect location to research environmental issues, Antarctica has a remarkably unique nature and wildlife. And we have good news for nature lovers who want to visit the continent: you don’t have to be a researcher to see this frozen heaven!
Summer - The sun never sets during this season, and the temperature becomes mild despite frequently falling below zero. Summer is the only suitable season to visit Antarctica.
Winter - Winter in Antarctica is an icy, barren and unforgiving season, with temperatures plunging below -60°C and months of complete darkness. Unsuitable for visits.
