For most trips to Antarctica, you fly to the tip of South America and catch a ship/boat. We went with Quark Expeditions (expensive but I recommend them) on a 12-day journey. I believe for 7 or 8 days we were able to step on land. The more expensive the trip, the more time you will have on land. And for some of the huge cruise chains, you only sail by Antarctica and never even get to step on land. So do your research before you put your money down! As for the cold, summer in Antarctica is comparable to a normal snowy winter day in the mountains. Wear lots of layers and you’ll be fine! Quark Expeditions (the company we went with) also provided boots to wear, and big parkas. Let me know if you have more questions!

Your photos are breathtaking! Wow, wow… and it so happens that Antartica is on my bucket list! It’s one of the final two continents I have yet to visit, the other being Australia. For how many days were you on land? And how did you deal with the cold?

One day soon you’ll get to travel again, and it’ll be even better because you have a beautiful daughter to share it with.

Thanks Olyvia! I’m glad I was able to “transport” you, that’s my goal. We went in Antarctica’s “summer” so it wasn’t too bad..mostly 30s F and sometimes it got up to 50 degrees!

Beautiful pictures! I would love to travel to Antarctica to see all the wildlife there, especially the penguins. Though, that would probably be a trip I'd take many years down the road. blush and simplicity
