Antarctica is the smallest continent. Almost totally covered with ice and with temperatures far below zero, it hardly seems like an inviting tourist destination. Indeed, you are unlikely to find anything like sun, sea and sandy beaches on Antarctica. But you'll find a unique and exciting environment, full of unique wildlife and breathtaking scenery.
Antarctica is populated mostly by scientists who live and on the frozen continent. Although there is no official support for tourism, those adventurous enough to brave the weather may also find opportunities to work on one of the various research facilities for short periods of time.
These opportunities, of course, may only be undertaken after relevant training has been satisfactorily completed prior to departure. Aside from this, the other ways to experience Antarctica include shore visits from commercial sea voyages (by far the most popular) or sightseeing by.
While the continent has rightfully earned the reputation for being cold, there is, contrary to what many may believe, very little snowfall or rain. The landscape is dry and barren, and most of the region's moisture has been tied up in frigid seawater and the massive packs of ice that.
