Antarctica Top Things To Do

The Last Marathon
The hard-core among you can endure The Last Marathon on King George Island and run in sub-zero conditions.

Cruise
Take a cruise/ferry around some of the most dramatic scenery in the world. Most trips depart from Ushuaia (in Argentina) or Punta Arenas (in Chile), and the passage from South America to the Antarctic Peninsula takes approximately two days.

Helicopter ride
Be one of the few to observe polar animals (including penguins and albatrosses) in their natural environment from the privileged views granted by a helicopter. Helicopters give the best access to emperor penguin colonies.

Kayaking
Kayak up to icebergs for even closer views and, weather permitting, you may even be able to camp on the ice.

Deception Island
Take a dip in the thermal waters on Deception Island. The island you see today was formed by a volcanic eruption, which caused its peak to explode and left a huge caldera (crater) inside the island.
