How long does it take to get from Christchurch to Antarctica?

Answer 1

Your answer depends on your mode of transportation and your ultimate Antarctic destination.

If you are flying courtesy of the US Air Force in a C-5 cargo plane, and your destination is McMurdo Research Station, the flight time is about eight hours.

If you are traveling by ship, again, your destination and transport equipment will determine your travel time.

Answer 2

Center of Antarctica and New Zealand are 3121 miles (approx. value) away from each other. Note that this is a straight distance between the two places. The actual distance may vary according to the flight path or road/sear route chosen.

Answer 3

If you could fly in a straight line, you would fly 1,736.081 miles between Christchurch and the closest point of land on the Antarctic continent.
