skrink Posted June 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I’ve put together some references and resources for planning a trip to Antarctica. Please add more if you find them. Thanks. Excellent, very informative video about traveling to Antarctica. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ0tsHM34hk&t=2918s. Allow at least two hours to watch it. Fast forward to just under the 10 minute mark to bypass webinar “housekeeping” information.

donaldsc Posted June 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Excellent post w lots of very good info. I will add that although we are not allowed to talk about or recommend specific TAs, anyone thinking of doing Antarctica should check out all of them as many of them have sites with a lot of very useful information which are relevant to whatever cruise you take.

scottjeanne Posted June 13, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I second the excellent information comment. It is a rabbit hole though- I spent the better part of a day enjoying the post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrink Posted June 14, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I chuckled at scottjeanne’s comment about time spent—I’ve done the same! Looks like the link for the topic on whether going to Antarctica is worth it isn’t working so well. If you don’t want to root around the lonely planet site for the post, here’s a substitute: https://www.fodors.com/community/mexico-and-central-america/is-antarctica-worth-it-303137/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
