Visiting the southernmost continent in the world is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that’s sure to leave you in awe. Only around 75,000 people visited one of the most remote parts of our planet annually. From the vast rugged landscapes coated in snow; rookeries of thousands of penguins; humpback, minke, dolphin, and orca sights; citadel-esque icebergs; to seals fighting on the shore, Antarctica is a constant adventure—once you make it through the notorious Drake Passage. It may come as a surprise that Antarctica is also home to an active volcano and the largest desert on Earth.
