An Antarctica small ship cruise is more like an expedition than a plain old vacation. You'll be setting foot on one of the only truly undiscoverd countries on this planet. So mysterious is this land that to date no country even officially owns it, though 7 have tried to declare ownership.
About An Antarctica Small Ship Cruise
You might want to bring a jacket on this particular excursion. The record for the world's lowest temperature (-128.5 F) was recorded here. It's such a brutal climate that one time it dropped over 65 degrees in a matter of 12 minutes!
At its thickest point, the ice that covers this land is three miles deep! What is interesting is that there is actually evidence of vegetation and animal life deep beneath the ice from a very long time ago. Poets and philosophizers have speculated it was once everything from Atlantis to the garden of Eden!
That's the land you will explore on your Antarctica small ship cruise. Boarding a smaller ship is ideal, because you'll be able to get closer to all the sights. If you want to have a drink on the ship, don't worry, they have plenty of ice.
