6 Best things to do in Antarctica

 Vacation In Antarctica

Whether it’s the frigid weather, the blue and white landscape, or the fact that penguins trump the number of people thousand-fold, Antarctica is the most beautiful and scenic place in the world. A habitat of Penguins and Ice glaciers, it isn’t as cold as one would expect in Antarctica. Some of the best things to do in Antarctica are:

1.       Make friends with Penguins: Penguins are the most popular tourist attraction in Antarctica. There aren’t many places where you will not find any Penguins. With massive colonies of Penguins, one can easily find the best pal. The penguins in Antarctica aren’t used to humans but they aren’t scared either. They can come to you and circle around you.

2.       Swim at Deception Bay: Deception bay is the prime site for swimming in Antarctica. It is actually a caldera of a volcano and is warmer because of the volcano. One can always wade into warm shore water. It also houses the world’s largest Chin Strap Penguin Colony lives on the island.

3.       Cruise in Antarctica: Cruising around in Antarctica is super fun in a small boat called Zodiac that carries around 8-12 people inside some of the smaller passageways in Antarctica. One can see icebergs closely and many different types of seals including leopard seals.

4.       View Natural Beauty: Lemaire Channel is one of the best places in Antarctica to view the natural beauty. Due to shifting winds, the channel may be blocked by icebergs but once cleared one can see snow-capped mountains reflecting off the calm waters of Antarctica.

5.     Plan Kayaking and Camping: Many tour operators offer both kayaking and camping. Kayaking isn’t just another outdoor activity, but all together with a different experience providing the experience of seeing eye-to-eye with inquisitive Antarctic wildlife. The camping will provide the experience of sounds of heaving ice, fresh scent of the sea and the crisp air of the polar night.

6.    Send a Post Card: The southernmost post office in the world exists in Antarctica not in Tierra Del Fuego in Ushuaia as claimed.  The post office in Port Lockroy in Antarctica exists among a massive colony of Penguins and scenic icebergs. Though you can send a postcard with Antarctica stamp, it may take 2-3 months to reach its destination.

If you are ever given a chance to visit the winter wonderland called Antarctica, take it! It will change how you look at the planet. Choose your next dream destination with #traveldilse and experience true heaven on earth.
