Antarctica Travel Ideas



Antarctica is the destination of choice for travelers who want to experience the raw and wild beauty of the last frontier. If you are planning Antarctica travel options, you may find yourself wondering what should be included on your itinerary. There are numerous options available in terms of Antarctica travel ideas.

One such Antarctic travel option is to go to New Island and Carcass Island. These locations will provide you with memories you will not soon forget. New Island is probably one of the most visited and scenic of the Falkland Islands. Here, you will find one of the largest seabird colonies in the world, including thousands of penguins and black-browed albatrosses.

Carcass Island is actually only five miles in length; however, those five miles are covered in rolling hills. The island itself was named for a Royal Navy ship that reached the Falklands in 1766. Surprisingly, there are many trees and hedges established on Carcass Island; making it much different from the other Falklands. A large number of small birds as well as a penguin colony make their home on this lovely island.

No Antarctic travel itinerary would be complete without a visit to Port Stanley. If you are planning to travel to Antarctica it is highly likely that your ship will anchor in Port Stanley. This is the capital of the Falklands. If your ship anchors in the harbor during your travel, you will likely be able to go ashore.

Other travel ideas for Antarctica include spending some time at the Antarctic Convergence. Remember this is where the warmer waters from South America meet the cold waters of Antarctica. Here you will find numerous different types of sea birds.

Any of these Antarctica travel ideas will certainly provide you with wondrous sights and memories to last a lifetime.
