Antarctica Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

An Adventure in the Antarctic Icebergs, a Close-up Photo with a Seal, Stunning the Social Circle

We were fortunate to set foot on the purest land on earth—Antarctica. In the early morning, the sunlight sprinkled on the ice surface, twinkling with enchanting light. We were in this white world, surrounded by towering icebergs, They soared into the clouds, as if masterpieces of nature. The water between the icebergs was crystal clear, and occasionally ice blocks would slide off the peaks, Stirring up waves, adding a bit of vitality. Not far ahead, a seal was leisurely basking in the sun. Its skin was smooth and delicate, and its black eyes were bright and spirited Finally, in the Southern Ocean, we saw them in their most comfortable state. Although our trip to Antarctica has ended, our curiosity and yearning for Antarctica have become even stronger, looking forward to the next time.

N Choices for Antarctic Travel! Essential Tips Before Departure.

🌈【Introduction】: Antarctica, as the seventh continent, is defined as the Antarctic Circle within 60° south latitude. It is a pristine land rarely visited by humans, featuring the most authentic landscapes and natural environments. Antarctica is also a paradise for photographers, offering a visual and spiritual shock! The splendor of Antarctica is not just about icebergs but also the magnificence of life! 🧭【Visa】: Before traveling, you need to prepare your passport and an Argentine visa, except for US visas. 💖【Time/Booking】: The current travel season is from November to February. During this season, you can see 400,000 penguins, 100% chance of seeing seals, and an 80% chance of seeing orcas or humpback whales. Note that you need to keep a distance of more than 5 meters from penguins and seals, unless the animals approach out of curiosity. Antarctica boasts thousand-year-old glaciers (ice caps), crystal blue seawater, and a starry sky! Note that ship tickets are in high demand and need to be booked more than 90 days in advance (some require booking 2 years in advance). 🧣【Climate/Clothing】: During the Antarctic travel season from late October to early March, local temperatures range from -10 to 0°C. The daylight lasts about 20 hours, and the average temperature on the ship is 22°C. There is a significant temperature difference between morning and evening. Essential clothing includes two waterproof and windproof jackets for easy changing, fleece linings, thermal underwear (avoid pure cotton, wool is more suitable, or silk and quick-dry clothing), hats, scarves, gloves, non-slip shoes (usually provided on the ship but must be returned), bikinis (for Antarctic ice swimming), and snow goggles (essential). 🚢【Advantages and Disadvantages of Cruise Ships】: The usual way to enter Antarctica is by cruise ship, except for the wealthy who fly to the Antarctic point. Generally, whether budget travel or regular tourism, you should choose a cruise ship in advance. Cruise ships are divided into large, medium, and small types, each with its pros and cons. The type of cabin varies by ship and significantly affects the overall price. ⚓Large Cruise Ships: Usually refer to large ships with more than 500 people, well-equipped with complete facilities. From the comfort level on the ship, the experience is excellent. Large ships do not dock due to their size, so you can watch from the windows or deck, making it very suitable for lazy or older people. Each fjord/waterway is announced via broadcast on the ship. Both sides feature thousand-year-old glaciers and peacock blue seawater. On the deck, you need to quickly grab a good spot to set up your camera and record this magnificent scenery. Every time you disembark, the large ship anchors, and a Zodiac boat takes you ashore, which can be quite an experience (especially in bad weather). Large ships are more stable and comfortable, especially when passing through the Drake Passage (the Devil's West Wind Belt), which is known for its strong winds and high waves. Summary: Relatively low price, good comfort on the ship, relatively stable, well-equipped, but the Zodiac boat experience is not great, and disembarking is cumbersome and complex. ⚓Medium-sized Ships: Refers to ships with 200-500 people. Compared to large ships, the facilities are slightly inferior. Landing is better than on large ships. IAATO regulations state that no more than 100 people can land at the same location at a time. The total landing time in Antarctica is limited, so the landing schedule compresses the sightseeing time. Summary: Moderate price, the drawback is that landing is slightly better than large ships, but the schedule has some impact. ⚓Small Ships: Refers to ships with fewer than 200 people, currently the main force in the market. Antarctica is usually not visited multiple times, so if finances allow, it is the first choice for most people. Small ships are not as stable as medium and large ships in terms of comfort, and the facilities are relatively simple. However, due to the small number of people, the ratio of service personnel and the experience is completely different from medium and large ships, offering more flexibility and significant advantages in landing. Many personalized ships fall into this category, and those operated by Chinese are more in line with the needs of Chinese tourists. 🌐International Classification: C1 (44 ships): Traditional expedition ships carrying 13-200 passengers, capable of landing activities. C2 (6 ships): Large cruise ships carrying 201-500 passengers, capable of landing activities. CR (7 ships): Ultra-large cruise ships with a capacity of over 500 passengers, not capable of landing activities. YA (22 ships): Sailboats or yachts with a capacity of 12 or fewer passengers. According to international classification, C1 or C2 is your main choice. The above statistics are pre-pandemic. 🧡【Landing Sites】: Due to different routes, there are more than 200 landing sites in Antarctica, with about 30 regular landing sites. However, the overall landing duration is not affected, but it needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on location, route, and weather factors, so there is a lot of uncertainty.

Longing for the pure and flawless love in the ice and snow of Antarctica.

The warm season in Antarctica generally lasts from November to March of the following year. Traveling to Antarctica covers three seasons: spring, summer, and autumn. The weather, wildlife, sunlight, and sea conditions vary in each season, resulting in significant differences in scenery. The most common animal in Antarctica is the penguin, including king penguins, macaroni penguins, gentoo penguins, and Adelie penguins, which can be photographed to your heart's content. You can also take a kayak ride on the sea, and if you are lucky, you may see seals and whales. Whales are really huge creatures. When you see them with your own eyes, you will feel small. When they leap out of the sea, it is very spectacular and pleasing to the eye. The most impressive thing is the giant icebergs. Sitting in a kayak and watching them up close, each iceberg is unique, and the wonders of nature have created each iceberg beautifully, like a piece of art for people to appreciate. It is very exciting to appreciate icebergs up close. The charm of Antarctica lies in its purity, as the last pure land on earth has never belonged to humans. It is a white and pristine country, light and pure as snow.

The coordinates of the Great Wall Station are: 62°1259S 58°5752W He is located on King George Island in the South Shetland Islands and is the first scientific research station established by China in Antarctica. Great Wall Station was built on February 20, 1985. The station area is only two kilometers from north to south, about one kilometer from east to west. There are 25 buildings of various buildings, including office buildings, dormitory buildings, medical and cultural buildings, meteorological buildings, communication and scientific research buildings, and several main buildings. . I don't know if it is because of global warming We arrived at the Great Wall Station and found it completely different from our imagined Antarctic. Nanji should not be snowy? How are sandstone everywhere? When watching the Spring Festival Evening every year, when the staff of the Great Wall Station wished the Chinese people a happy New Year on TV, isnt that the case? Did we go to a fake South Pole? However, of course it is not fake. This is the real Antarctic one of the farthest away from us, but the most ecologically sensitive place. We are ruining the environment, but the most obvious reminder here. The largest hole in the ozone layer on Earth, right here.

On the fourth day of the Antarctic tour, when I woke up in the morning, I found that the Midnight Sunshine had stopped at the waters very close to the Great Wall Station in Antarctica, China. To be honest, before I came to Antarctica, I had a lot of imagination for the Great Wall Station, but it would never be like this. Strictly speaking, the Great Wall Station is not on the Antarctic continent, but on the Fields Peninsula west of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica, east of the small bay in Maxwell Bay - the Great Wall Bay, the bay is wide and deep, easy to enter and exit, backed by the snow-covered slopes all year round, with plenty of water. But even so, the scientific expedition team members who fought all the way at the Great Wall Station are still awe-inspiring. The Antarctic Convention stipulates that the number of people who land on the Antarctic continent cannot exceed 100. Therefore, for the midnight sunshine number of nearly 500 people, only the group rounds can be landed. The day before, the staff will disturb the room the next day. The itinerary is placed in the room. There are specific groupings and landing and cruise time on the itinerary. Prepare the dress in advance according to the scheduled time and wait in line to the designated area. Antarctic sky can be said to be an instant change, you can also see a hundred meters away from the previous moment, this moment can only be within 100 meters. But the more so mysterious, the more people feel that this is the real South Pole, or I am really afraid that someone will suspect that it is a fake Antarctic. I really never thought that I would land in China at the Great Wall Station in Antarctica one day, but at this moment, I really came, and it was hard to suppress the excitement.

Surviving the Icy Tundra: Discover the Resilience and Endurance of South Georgia's Admirable Penguins!

The penguins of South Georgia are a hardy bunch. They live in one of the harshest environments on Earth, where temperatures can drop to -50 degrees Celsius and the wind can blow at 100 miles per hour. But these penguins are tough, and they’ve found a way to survive in this icy wasteland. Penguins also have a special layer of fat called blubber that helps to keep them warm. Blubber is a great insulator, and it also stores energy that penguins can use to stay warm when food is scarce. So next time you’re feeling cold, just remember the penguins of South Georgia. They’re braving the blizzard, and they’re doing it with a smile on their faces. cr：worldtraveler_ab& Contact us for removal
