Has anyone set foot on Antarctica?
Has anyone set foot on Antarctica? The first landing was most likely just over a year later when American Captain John Davis, a sealer, set foot on the ice. Several expeditions attempted to reach the South Pole in the early 20th century, during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Many resulted in injury and death.
Can tourists set foot on Antarctica?
Yes, you can visit Antarctica! The continent remains isolated from the rest of the world, with its wildlife and wild places operating as they have for millennia. But its beauty is accessible—and it's waiting for you to explore it.
Can I go to Antarctica by myself?
Unlike most traditional cruise lines, expedition cruises to Antarctica rarely charge any supplement fee for solo travellers. In fact, almost all expedition cruises offer solo travellers the chance to share with other solo travellers of the same sex in triple and quad cabins.
