Expeditions began in the late 1800s to learn more about this remote part of the earth. Some have been well-documented, others not so much.

Any group that 'goes to Antarctica' can be said to be on an expedition, because there is no commerce, lodging, or other commercial enterprise on the continent.

The number is many, since there are now expeditioners who are paid by people to to take tours -- expeditions -- to the continent.
