How do you get around antarctica?

Answer 1

The Southern Ocean travelers are aboard reinforced-hull vessels.

On the continent, people usually walk in the confines of the research station where they are assigned to work and live temporarily. If travel outside the station is necessary, Ski-Doos, Tuckers, Sno-Cats and helicopters are useful, depending on the length of the journey and the cargo demands involved.

Answer 2

People working and living temporarily in research stations are generally confined to the parameters of the station -- one square kilometer or less. Venturing out can result in falling into a crevasse or generating another type of life-threatening accident. Getting around a station is generally done on foot.

When traveling from a research station to a field camp, for example, Ski-doos pulling sleds, Tuckers and helicopters are useful. Trucks and Caterpillar tractors are also used on research stations for logistical purposes, but not necessarily for 'getting around'..

Answer 3

Depending on their query, scientists travel on foot, by Ski-doo, in helicopters or by ship.

Answer 4

You can get to Antarctica by ship

Answer 5

Generally you sail around the continent.
