Antarctica

Southernmost Continent
From lush jungles to scorching deserts, and from remote tropical islands to mountain peaks, mankind has colonized the planet and made every corner easily accessible to the adventurous traveler. Well… every corner except Antarctica. The frozen continent is yet to be fully tamed—its frozen temperatures, dangerous and exotic wildlife, and erratic climate and terrain makes it both an impossible and incredible place. No place on Earth compares to this vast white icy land.

As challenging as Antarctica is—there are no permanent residents on the continent—tourism has found its way in recent years. Although travel is only allowed (and safe) from November through March, cruise ships departing from the southern tip of South America now offer passage to the frozen continent. The voyage can be both rough and pricey, but you’ll be one of the first people on the planet to step foot on the world’s last unconquered land
