Over ninety nine percent of Antarctica is coated in brilliant white and multicolored
ice, virtually untouched by human life. It is a foreign world, with conditions
fit for training astronauts and learning what Mars must be like. Our consultants
are often asked if people should travel to Antarctica, and we are proud to give
a resounding yes!
Should people travel to Antarctica?It is a valid
question, as Antarctica is the coldest and driest place on earth. The first tourist
did not even travel there until 1956. But we think that expeditions to Antarctica
hold the possibility of life-changing adventure and learning. Experiencing Antarctica
doesn't necessarily mean bracing yourself for the conditions of cross country
skiing and sub-zero tent dwelling, though extreme adventures are certainly an
option. Antarctica cruises are an excellent way to see the wildlife and scenery
with luxurious accommodations and all the comforts of home.
Luxury Cruises
to AntarcticaBrownell consultants are proud to have unique relationships
with partners offering the best in cruises to Antarctica. The views from the cruise
ships are spectacular-watch calving off the massive Ross ice shelf to create new
ice burgs, and look for giant whales gracefully cutting through the icy waters.
But luxury cruises to Antarctica can still get you up close and personal with
the ice world and its creatures if you are up for an excursion away from the ship.
Smaller vessels carry explorers on land where curious penguins will walk right
up to you (if you are still) and fur seals seem unfazed by unfamiliar human life.
Our specialists are experienced and knowledgeable of all voyages to the white
continent and can advise you on the best luxury cruises to Antarctica for your
preferred level of adventure.
Extreme Antarctica
If you long to see
more than the coastline and islands, our partners are braving the inland, untouched
regions of Antarctica and can usher you safely along. Travel in the extreme conditions
to the South Pole. Follow in the footsteps of the great explorers Ernest Shackelton
and James Cook. The beauty of this southern ice world is unmatched, and you will
come away with a fresh perspective on our planet-that is, if you are up for remote
Antarctic adventure! Whether it is through a private inland excursion or a
luxury cruise to Antarctica, Brownell consultants know the insider tips necessary
to enjoy the extreme. So, should people travel to Antarctica?-yes! but only if
