Visiting Antarctica from Chile
Today, about 40,000 tourists visit the Antarctica annually, with perhaps 300 travelers (in addition to some 250 scientists and support staff) making it to the South Pole every year. There, they’ll experience the bitter cold and blinding white landscape that tempted Amundsen and Scott to risk their lives, as well as more comfortable accommodations at the international research station, which comes complete with a gift shop.
