This is the destination that moved me the most among all those I have traveled. To meet the famous right whales and Emperor penguins, several cruises are possible starting from [Ushuaïa](https://www.borispatagonia.com/en/travel-ushuaia-argentina), and even flights directly to Antarctica.  For an exceptional trip, I can only encourage you to embark on an **Antarctic cruise** and take the adventure even further to the ends of the world! Antarctica is a continent located mostly south of the Antarctic Circle and is completely surrounded by the [Southern Ocean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ocean "External link"). This continent is the coldest, the driest, the highest (in average) and the windiest in the world. It’s covered at 99 % of ice. The weather conditions are harsh and variable, of course, but the magical spectacle is permanent. ## A world of ice The Antarctic Continent is both an open space, which witnesses a pure nature untouched by humans, a memory of global worldwide climate inscribed deeply in its ice coat, an excellent observation spot for atmospherically and climatic phenomena and an extreme condition area where life was finally able to settle down. Since 1961, Parties to the Antarctic Treaty have negotiated several international agreements and more than 200 resolutions and decisions dealing with the governance and management of Antarctica. Therefore, countries which tried to colonize part of Antarctica accepted to give up their rights. Since then, Antarctica is government free continent (even if Argentina and Chile are still claiming a part of it). Antarctica is the last wild natural area on earth. Its huge icebergs, its mountains and the extreme loneliness of its polar continental shelf go beyond our imagination. It’s the land of extreme conditions, beautiful and peaceful and also wild and violent at the same time. This area escapes all measurement, whether we watch it from the coast or by plane. The last ten years proved that mining and oil are no longer the main economical resources of the region, but tourism. Maybe the continent will remain a place for international alliance, free and preserved. Traveling to Antarctica means discovering a sea of ​​ice… listening to the silence broken by the crash of the ice floe… being moved by the leaping leap of a humpback whale… following in the footsteps of the great early explorers of the 20th century…  These **southern lands** have inspired explorers for centuries. Venturing there will be the opportunity to understand their fascination for this place. Explore one of the most unique and isolated places on the planet during zodiac outings, and get as close as possible to the icy expanses every day. ## Antarctic Expedition Cruise: The Ultimate Journey Antarctica is a continent dedicated to science and peace. The landscapes have remained unchanged and as grandiose as the day Man discovered them. It’s the largest, wildest and most extreme of all the continents. With an area roughly twice the size of Australia, Antarctica is the 4th largest continent on the planet. It’s entirely made up of ice (98% exactly), which explains why there are no people living in this region. There are, however, around 4,000 people living on scientific bases during the summer period, from October to March. If humans have never been able to adapt to these “lands”, it’s not the same for wildlife. Animal life abounds in this region. Antarctica is the home (last refuge?) of millions of penguins, a feeding area for thousands of whales during the austral summer, but also seals, leopard seals and killer whales (orcas). Being the coldest place on Earth, Antarctica cannot support any land mammals. There are no trees or shrubs. On the other hand, there are many birds, the great king being the albatross and the giant petrel. Antarctica is also the windiest, coldest, driest, most desert and highest continent of all. We might as well tell you that you’ll have to come well equipped because the temperatures are extremely low. It’s also possible to register (in advance) for some rather original activities, depending on the time of year, to enhance your adventure: [Kayak and stand-up paddle](https://www.borispatagonia.com/en/kayak-patagonia-argentina-chile), [skiing](https://www.borispatagonia.com/en/ski-argentina-chile), [helicopter flights](https://www.borispatagonia.com/en/flyover-argentina-chile), [camping](https://www.borispatagonia.com/en/photo-safaris-argentina-chile), [walking snowshoeing](https://www.borispatagonia.com/en/andinism-argentina-chile), etc. I can only recommend that you discover the 6th continent. This is the ultimate journey, where it’s possible to go beyond the polar circle. And why not take the discovery as far as the Falkland Islands and South Georgia? After this destination, there remains… the moon\! This will give you the opportunity to enjoy one of the most fascinating spectacles in the world: the midnight sun.
