The best unique experiences in Antarctica

As Christmas approaches us once again, the winter sun holidays are as popular as ever. However, for many travellers, this time of year signals the ideal opportunity to visit colder regions and really embrace the spirit of this snowy season. As the southern hemisphere begins to warm, we slip into winter, and it opens up Antarctica which is inaccessible during our summer. This huge white continent is a dream destination for wildlife lovers and photographers alike, boasting remarkable icy landscapes and unique species which are perfectly adapted to the region. If receiving a Christmas card with a penguin on the front is no longer enough, maybe it’s time to journey to this far-flung part of the world. Here are 7 unique activities to experience in this majestic environment.

1. Kayak between the’bergs

Cruising through the icebergs of Antarctica is a spectacular experience in itself, but for those wanting to maximise the experience, there is another exciting option. Many cruises offer the opportunity to get even closer to the wildlife and landscapes on a kayaking adventure. Slip into the icy seas and become at one with nature as silent icebergs glide past and your paddle gently breaks the mirror-like surface of the water. If you are lucky you may get a close encounter with penguins, seals or whales.

2. Antarctica by air

Short on time? There is now an 8 day fly-cruise option is the perfect choice for travellers who have limited time but still wish to experience the white expanse of Antarctica. This is also an excellent option for those who are concerned about being ill during the infamous Drake Passage crossing…

3. Small ship luxury cruising

Although few Antarctica vessels can rival the size and capacity of ships elsewhere in the world, some still have an impressive number of passengers. If you are looking for a more intimate experience, the Hanse Explorer has a maximum capacity of just 12 making this the most exclusive service in Antarctica. The small size allows the ship to really penetrate this huge ice-laden landscape and guests will have the trip of a lifetime.

4. Sleep on the snow

To camp in Antarctica is a magical experience like no other. For one night only, there is now the option to take part in an overnight excursion to sleep on the snow in a tent, from which you can observe the crystal clear night skies. Surrounded by ice and penguins, there are few places in the world which compare.
