Argentina Travel - Antarctica - SANT1
Introduction:
Cruise aboard the MV Ushuaia to one of the last remaining wildernesses on
our planet today: Antarctica, the fabled White Continent. Antarctica is an
untamed territory of wild, natural beauty, as well as a land of superlatives:
the world's fifth largest continent, the coldest place on earth, the highest
average altitude, the lowest humidity. The continent is devoid of a permanent
human population, although what it lacks in the human factor, it more than
makes up for in animals, wildlife and scenery.
Antarctica trips may be subject to a fuel surcharge of USD250 per person.
