I want to go to Antarctica
How do I get there?
|
Pay a shed load of money and join a tour/cruise. And then pay more and get yourself to the Falklands or somewhere near there. For some of the prices I've seen quoted you'd be cheaper buying your own boat and doing it yourself!
|
With difficulty. :P
|
From the South Island of New Zealand.
Ange, I hate to sound like a boring broken record but is this a sensible plan or a mania induced one? |
^Prolly mania.
I have a big ass list of places *I* intend to go when I'm rather loopy. It's wonderfully unachievable |
Banana boat obvs.
|
As far as I know, people usually go to Argentina and then fly to its most southern point and take a cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula, or they can go to New Zealand or Australia and take a flight over Antarctica and possibly a cruise. I know people who have travelled to Antarctica via Argentina.
|
Come to Christchurch New Zealand and get on the big grey plane.

Anyways, the temps here got to something like 90F. Would much prefer Antarctica. |

Maybe that’s why they chose me, beacuase I am so adventurous! And it is wonderful because it is achievable and not jst a silly idea, I’ve wanted to go for aaaaages! Monnee monnee monneee.. I know the cameras will be there too but if millions ofpeople can live vicariously through me then that’s amazing and that’s why I’m going to do it regardless! I just follow the stories in my head... |
Turn south and keep walking until you see penguins.
If you see tourists then you've hit a zoo and not gone far enough. |

What do people do in Antarctica? Apart from watch penguins and build snowmen?
|

People build snow cats, dogs, penguins... and make snow angels... the possibilities are endless. & Ange, look after yourself, love :) |

If I were you I'd make a raft, and float out that way. :P
