Antarctica

Yes. You can join a tour boat destined to visit the Antarctic continent.

Without endorsement, you can review the search results, below to find a tour you want.

Antarctica has no native human population; there are only scientists, explorers and adventurers passsing through. Without a fixed population, no way to determine a currency or a language.

Basic? Well , that would be an igloo. That wouldn't do most of us very well though.

The basic requirements would be a strong building capable of withstanding severe weather and weight from snow. Oxygen piping for air and serious storage for waste and food. Heat is going to be used... by the bucket! Say hello to CO2!

Environmentally, Antarctica serves as the 'heat sink' for the excess heat on earth. As well, it is the continent with the least pollution, and serves as the center for scientific study about the health of planet earth. About 70% of the earth's fresh water is stored in its ice sheet, representing about 90% of the earth's ice.

Depending on the salinity, the temperature will be slightly below the freezing point

of fresh water, which is 0 Centigrade. It will not be lower than approximately

-2 Centigrade.

Remote in terms of travel, implies distance from civilization.

There is no commercial transport service available to anywhere on the Antarctic continent. Any access to the continent is made possible either by tour guides or government logistics interested in supporting research stations. There are no commercial -- or private -- dwelling facilities there to accommodate visits,

Private transit is possible, problematic and expensive.

During most of the year -- February to October -- the Southern Ocean freezes over, making the continent inaccessible by water.

Antarctica is so remote that most people who live in the Northern Hemisphere no very little about the continent.

There is no commercial air service to anywhere on the Antarctic continent.

Your answer depends on your ultimate Antarctic destination, and the route that your private charter service chooses to take to get you there.

Please take the time to review the material, below, which explains in depth why icebergs are blue.

Short answer: it has to do with the colour of the sea and the sky, ". . .the shape of the Iceberg, the chemical composition of the sea water including all the substances dissolved in it, the angle at which it is illuminated, whether the surface has melted and re-frozen and many other such factors will have a strong influence on its color."

PS: This is a great question!

they have blubber and thick fur.but sometimes they still get cold

There are no homes in Antarctica. Generally, research stations house people in dormitories and feed them in cafeterias. Otherwise, people spend time in their work areas.

There is no native or permanent population on the continent. Everyone who lives there temporarily, works for a government in pursuit of science, studying the health of planet earth.

They go there because they want to get the ice cores and and see what temperature it was in antarctica. They are focusing on biology, geology, ice and climate changes. They are very facinated of Antarctica but people want to stop them fromdoing experiments. But most people think that it is better for all of us because they can check the global warming.

Two of the 17 known species of penguins live along the coast of Antartica. The majority of the remainder inhabit coastlines from the Antarctic Circle to temperate regions even farther north. New Zealand, the Falkland Islands, the Galápagos Islands and desert coastlines of South America and southern Africa are home to the largest penguin populations.

Antarctica is larger than the Sahara desert. This is because Antarctica is the world's largest desert.

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, you really have no business being there.

Temperatures reach a minimum of between −80 °C and −90 °C (−112 °F and −130 °F) in the interior in winter and reach a maximum of between 5 °C and 15 °C (41 °F and 59 °F) near the coast in summer.

There were five locations named Little America, identified as I - V after the name. All were located on the Ross Ice Shelf south of the Bay of Whales. All are now abandoned and several have calved off into the Southern Ocean.

Scott and his crew died for various reasons.

Oates walked to his death as he stepped out into a blizzard. He did this because he was suffering from frostbite. His famous parting remark was, "I am just going outside and may be some time.".

Scott, Wilson and Bowers died of a low supply of food and the hypothermia. Wilson and Bowers seemed peaceful when the were found, because it seemed they died in their sleep. Scott however seemed to be in so much pain, as he was covered in frostbite, with yellowing skin. He seemed to be reaching towards Wilson.

People who live and work temporarily in Antarctica sleep in dorms or tents, eat in cafeterias or tents and work in work spaces or tents, or in the open air.

The size of the continent does not change.

However, the sea ice of the Southern Ocean freezes during the winter months, and joins with the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent. Essentially, this combined ice is about twice the size of the Antarctic continent.

Since McMurdo Station works with US-based support staff, the clock time in McMurdo is the same as the clock time at the US support staff headquarters.

All the science stations operate on this scheme, so it's a different 'time' everywhere on the continent, depending on which scientific station occupant is looking at the clock.

The only buildings on Antarctica, are the temporary building set up by various nations scientific study groups. Everything has to be transported a long distance. Most scientists abandon Antarctica during the winter, returning when Antarctica's short summer returns.
