Activity vacations in Antarctica

In true Frozen Planet fashion, you too could head to the Antarctic on an adventure trip of a lifetime.

One of the world's last true wildernesses, there are very few people who venture to these silent lands, but those who do are rewarded with an experience unlike that of any other continent.

Take to the icy waters in a kayak as you go in search of penguins, or go for a dip in the waters of Deception Island, part of the South Shetland Islands, warmed by the volcanic crater that surrounds them.

It is just amazing to see the conditions that people lived and worked in, and always to remember that the huts were considered luxury compared to being in a tent.
