I was flipping around the radio the other day and I heard a talk show who had a travel agent as a guest. Among the trips she discussed was to Antarctica. I thought, “what”? Seriously. Here is how SA Expeditions presented the trip: “What do you get the person who has everything? A ticket to Antarctica, of course. The coldest, windiest, and driest continent on the planet is home to icebergs, penguins and whales.
Containing 90% of the ice on earth, it’s one-and-a-half times larger than the United States. Visiting Antarctica has never been easier, so book one of our incredible Antarctica tours before the rest of the world catches on. Starting at $15,990 per person. Head from Chile’s cosmopolitan capital to the remotest destination on Earth on this 11-Day Santiago to Antarctica Tour. Spend three nights in exciting Santiago visiting the key city sites and popular neighboring coastal towns before flying as far South as is commercially possible and boarding a luxury ship for your five-night Antarctic exploration. You’ll see polar wildlife, breath-taking scenery and exhilarating ocean views, with daily excursions onto the ice, on this incredible adventure. Because this tour flies in and out of King George Island, you’ll spend five full days navigating Antarctic waters”.
