Down Under Connections
Antarctica is remote, barren and cold; nevertheless, every year almost 30,000 visitors make the trek to this continent.  A trip to Antarctica will be expensive and require long journey times but will reward you with unspoiled natural beauty.  It is incredible that in this inhospitable place there can also be an abundance of life.  On a trip to the Antarctic you will likely see whales, seals, seabirds and, of course, penguins.

Most travel to Antarctica will depart from the southern tip of South America.  The majority of tourists come via ship on 9 to 21 day trips with stops along the Antarctic Peninsula and islands nearby.
