🌏 Overview
Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent — a vast white wilderness covering 14.2 million km² at the bottom of the world. No country owns it; the 1959 Antarctic Treaty designates it as a scientific preserve with around 70 research stations from 30+ nations.
For travelers, Antarctica is the ultimate frontier. Expedition cruises cross the Drake Passage to reach penguin colonies, towering icebergs, breaching whales, and a silence so profound it becomes almost physical. Ice shelves the size of countries, volcanic islands, and sunsets painting impossible colors across glacial landscapes await.
