In the words of Jon Krakauer, “I think part of the appeal of Antarctica is experiencing some sort of power, the forces of the natural world.” Antarctica is the world’s most remote continent. It’s also the southernmost continent and home to the South Pole. Although it’s the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on earth, its natural beauty attracts adventure travelers from around the world. Get an up close view of its massive glaciers and magnificent icebergs. Antarctica’s rich wildlife includes millions of penguins, whales, leopard seals and sea birds. The area is home to eight species of penguins – Emperors, Adelies, Chinstraps, Gentoos, Macaronis, Magellanics, Rockhoppers, and Kings. Note: Contrary to popular belief, there are no polar bears living in Antarctica. They can be found further north in the Arctic near the North Pole.
