Antarctica Backpacking Trips

By Jonny Blair


Have you ever dreamed of visiting the world's coldest and most obscure continent? Look no further than this article sure to put you in the mood for a crazy adventure!

Antarctica is a massive continent, rumoured to be the 5th largest in the world in terms of area, yet it is just the least populated. That's because it gets cold here! Freezing conditions make it more of a home for penguins than for humans!

You can spend some unforgettable moments picking budget cruise deals that will take you to this part of the world. There are a variety of packages to choose from. No matter which cruise you take, you can set it against your budget and still enjoy cheap travel.

Antarctica cruises can be booked long in advance or as a last minute special offer deal in Ushuaia. One thing is for sure, it will cost you a fair bit of cash but it will be totally worth it in the end. If you are planning a voyage please bear in mind that it will probably be all inclusive.

As a bonus you can include a trip to southern Argentina or even the Falkland Islands for the trip to Antarctica. These extra parts are often included in tour package deals. Many of them leave from the city of Ushuaia in southern Argentina.

Once you have it all booked then sit back and wait for the trip of a lifetime. Antarctica is a completely off the wall spot to visit and travellers rant and rave about it for years afterwards. Be aware of the extreme weather and get ready for some penguins and cool animals and views.

In terms of what you see when you get there it will be a crazy mix of landscape, nature and wildlife. Expect to see icebergs, glaciers and a lot of snow and ice. Animal wise you will probably see penguins, whales, seals and cormorants plus a load of other cool sights to check out!

So that is my overview of this unique and obscure land mass we know as Antarctica. Have fun exploring this incredible place and be sure to pack a camera and wrap up warm when heading to explore. It will be a once in a lifetime trip full of great memories. Have a safe and wonderful journey.
