Antarctica is not a tourist destination in the traditional sense. It has no tourist facilities, hotels or airports. A few airlines fly over Antarctica to show you the sights, then fly back to where they came from without landing. At least one company runs mountain climbing expeditions, but they make it clear that you need to be experienced and capable and fit enough to endure the rigours or polar mountaineering. Unless you are engaged in some sort of research with a large government grant, or work in support of science, you really have no business being there.

Most tours of Antarctica are conducted from the sea, with departure points in Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and even South Africa. These tours generally aim for the Antarctic Peninsula, which is the most accessible and warmest part of the continent.

∙ 8y agoMostly, tourists visit Antarctica in the Antarctic Peninsula, the most accessible part of the continent.
However, there are tours that can fly a tourist over other parts of the continent, so that the tourist can see the continent from the air. These tours do not land and only last less than a day.
