Antarctica is the coldest, windiest highest and driest continent on earth. The extreme cold and ferocious winds, as well as its isolation at the bottom of the world, combine to make Antarctica one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. It is neither inhabited by a native population or presided over by an indigenous government. With that being said, for those that can brave sub zero weather and a bit of isolation, it is a very fascinating place to see and experience.

Antarctica is mostly accessible by boat on a cruise. Antarctica cruises can reveal some seemingly unearthly landscapes and unique terrain. Experience some of the highest mountains in the world, largest flocks of penguins, ice sculptures and icebergs on this big frozen tundra. Most of these cruises make waves for the Antarctic Peninsula from Ushuaia in Argentina, 600 miles (966 km) away. Passengers will have to forgo the usual glitz of larger cruise liners; instead, scientists and wildlife experts hold discussions and offer lectures. For those passionate about the Antarctic, this is a unique learning experience.
