The Antarctic remains probably the world’s last great frontier. It is estimated that no more than 280 000 people have ever visited the Antarctic since it was first discovered. This is a minuscule number in this day and age. You will have the opportunity to do something truly out of the ordinary by venturing to this ice bound mysterious, harsh yet beautiful land. This far-off continent is other worldly, as far away from anything as you are likely to get. Its sheer immensity and splendour, its unique light, ice, air, weather and wildlife, humbles you as almost no other place on earth can.
Besides the Antarctic, you will also experience some of the most magnificent scenery in South America when you visit the vibrant Buenos Aires, Montevideo, the Chilean Fjords and glaciers, the Falkland Islands and Santiago.
