An unforgettable and truly extraordinary adventure, an expedition to Antarctica is for anyone who dreams of retracing the steps of old-world explorers, to discover the last unspoilt corner of the planet and to indulge in what is often a life-changing experience.
Answer: Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent. It contains the geographic South Pole and is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14,200,000 square kilometres (5,500,000 square miles), it is the fifth-largest continent and nearly twice the size of Australia. It is by far the least populated continent, with around 5,000 people in the summer and around 1,000 in the winter. The vast majority of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km in thickness.
