Things to do in Antarctica

We can arrange two utterly unforgettable experiences in Antarctica, one being the chance to fly by skiplane to the South Pole, and the other to ski the last degree - the 60 nautical miles to the southernmost spot on earth. Both give you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand where very few people have stood before, and say you've been to the bottom of the world and back.

Where to Spot: Penguins
Abby Hennell James
Last night's Dynasties was another emotional blinder, though the freezing cold winter did have us pulling on an extra jumper and whacking the heating up several degrees to combat our sympathy shivers. We were transfixed as Sir David narrated us through the penguins' winter - which, if we're…
