you don't just "go to Antarctica." You have to be someone special, some kind of big-shot scientist or expert cold-wether pilot. Even then, there must be a ton of red tape, visas, approvals, grant money, etc
I could go for a few months if I wanted to as my work runs a research station there. My friend went and it sounds cool, but I don't think I will.
...at Australian Antarctic Division perhaps?
One way is applying to be part of the team for a 6 month stint- I was on a wait list, but too old now I think and missed the boat, pardon the pun. You 'have' to be an allrounder, a MacGyver, lots of arrows in the quiver so to say.A plumber, electrician, general handyman, and I am also a 'scientist' can run and fix instrumentation etc, and I was fit. Still didn't get on, but it was a bucket list item
BTW, the medical doctor gets their appendix removed, as no one would be able to attend to him. He too needs some multi skills
Not true. There are cruises that will take you there, sail you around some wild places, even land you a few times in Zodiacs. My in-laws did it. Costs a mint, though. Like $50k per person and you have to get down to Chile as well (I believe it was Chile they embarked from). They loved it. Said it was an incredible experience.
10 seconds of google and clicking on the first link shows cruises between $11500 USD and $2300 USD. 11-13 days.
Not seeing the 11-13 day cruise for $2300. Please post link.
