Antarctica

Stat alert. Antarctica’s massive ice-cap covers an area 1.7 times the size of Australia and contains some 29 million cubic kilometres of ice, or roughly 70% of the world's fresh water. Despite all this water, Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth - a huge, frozen desert that remains, to date, a genuinely unspoilt wilderness.

During the short summer months, explore the awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife of this ‘White Continent’ on an Original Travel organised cruise or exclusive land-based adventure. The latter is very expensive, but very cool.
