Your two main considerations should be which part of the continent to visit and whether to \u200barrive\u200b by ship or plane\u200b. Whatever you decide, the journey will be part of your adventure. How to Get to Antarctica? Let&#8217;s discover it!.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The 98% of visitors approach Antarctica via the tip of South America: departing from <strong>Punta Arenas<\/strong> in <strong>Chile<\/strong> or from <strong>Ushuaia<\/strong> in <strong>Argentina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally sailing was the only way to reach <strong>Antarctica<\/strong> and it still remains the most common \u200broute \u200bfor over 90% \u200bof \u200bvisitors. However, it&#8217;s\u200b now \u200balso possible via \u200ba short \u200b2-hour charter \u200bflight that will save you a lot of time crossing the <strong>Drake Passage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is so expensive?<\/h3>\n<p>So you\u2019ve decided you like the idea of a trip to Antarctica, but before you get too excited you want a sound understanding of the likely costs involved. Visiting Antarctica does not come cheaply, as you will know if you\u2019ve done a bit of research.<\/p>\n<p>We explain you some of the reasons why a cruise to the Antarctica results very expensive:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ships<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most vessels have strengthened hulls and are able to navigate very rough and icy seas. Only a limited number exist that can travel in the region. Low supply + high demand = expensive costs<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Energy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ice-class ships use more fuel, which generally costs more in South America\u2019s southern ports. And because Antarctica has no ports where the vessels can resupply, they must carry everything on board.<br \/>\nMaintenance<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the rough waters of the Drake Passage, these ships undergo a lot of wear and tear. Plus keeping all those Zodiacs in peak condition takes time and money.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Crew<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators requires at least one guide for every 20 passengers on land, and expedition staff tends to be highly educated\u2014many have doctorates.<\/p>\n<h3>When to travel<\/h3>\n<p>You can only visit the area during the <strong>Antarctic summer<\/strong>, from <strong>November to March<\/strong>. Prices are cheaper at the beginning and end of the season, but there is less to see in the way of wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>From mid to late <strong>December<\/strong> penguin chicks start to hatch on the Antarctic Peninsula, and in <strong>January<\/strong> you can watch the feeding frenzy. By <strong>February<\/strong>, penguin colonies are busy, noisy and smelly as the young penguins begin their moult; February to early March is the best time to see whales, and a good number of fur seals. By mid March most penguin colonies are emptying as the birds return to the sea.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">We can help you planning your expedition to <a
