Visit the frozen continent of Antarctica

This is the least explored place on earth, & with good reason, it's hard to get to! It is however definitely worth it. Icebergs protrude on the landscape & penguins dot the scenery in colonies larger than your hometown. The most common way to get to Antarctica is to take a cruise from the nearby countries of Argentina or Chile. There are several different types of cruise, one could take the large luxury cruise liner, however most of these don't offer the ability for their passengers to actually go onto the continent's shore. The other type is an expedition cruise, these are for the more adventurous (and the more splurging) at heart, with many of these ships offering the ability to camp overnite on the frozen continent. There is also a somewhat new ability to fly charter planes to the continent's interior.
