Jack's review
Antarctica has been, by far, the best place I’ve had the privilege to visit – nothing can describe the sheer silence and beauty of the place. During my 11-day cruise I hiked up mountains, kayaked round icebergs, swam in the sea and camped on ice, all whilst seeing a variety of wildlife. Every day in Antarctica presents a different adventure to the last, allowing you to experience the best the continent has to offer. The morning may see you strolling through a penguin colony, watching as they steal pebbles, only to spend your afternoon playing pool with Ukrainian researchers over a shot or two of home-brewed vodka. There is so much to see whilst you are there, you will need lots of memory on your camera!
Jack's Top Tips
- Spend a night on the ice underneath the midnight sun. You may be lucky enough to wake up to a penguin outside your tent like I did!
- Pack your swimwear for the chance to take the daring “Polar Plunge” into the Antarctic Sea.
- Send yourself a postcard and see if you can get home before it does.

Why visit Antarctica?
There are so many ways to discover Antarctica. Venture on one of the cruises, which operate between November and late February from Ushuaia in southern Argentina. To get there, stop over at Argentina's vibrant city of Buenos Aires and enjoy some culture before taking an internal flight to Ushuaia. Cross the Drake Passage to discover one of the most remote places on Earth. You'll be awestruck by ice-filled fjords, spectacular icebergs and an array of unique wildlife species.
