Most people arrive to Antarctica by cruise ship, but there is the option to fly in, too. As a destination that will likely surpass all your expectations with its amazing, untouched landscapes and wildlife, the fare is worth every dime. ItвЂ™s no secret that the journey to Antarctica is one of the worldвЂ™s most costly, but it can also be considered one of the most unique, and a hugely memorable part of the trip. The focus of many peopleвЂ™s trips is wildlife viewing, while others come for challenging expeditions across the desert landscape or sporting activities such as kayaking the icebergs or scaling peaks such as the Vinson Massif. Cruise ship passengers typically focus on the Ross Sea and Antarctic Peninsula areas, with stops at the two main ports of Paradise Bay and Neko Harbor. What visitors see during their trip is largely dictated by their mode of arrival, with those flying into the interior able to take small flights to other locations, such as Vinson Massif or the South Pole. Researchers and scientists make up most long-stay visitors, with short-term summer travelers keeping the continentвЂ™s biggest industry вЂ“ tourism - afloat.

The haunting landscape of Antarctica is home only to temporary residents. Add to this the adventure of getting here across the Southern Ocean and you have the trip of a lifetime and a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. At twice the size of Australia, this land of ice, snow, rock and water, and vast wilderness gives many visitors a feeling of insignificance due to the sheer enormity of Antarctica. These days, about 40,000 people a year make the trek to the natural, unspoiled beauty of the worldвЂ™s most southern continent. Tourism in Antarctica started in the 1950s with 500 lonely soles traveling from Chile and Argentina.
