Popularization of Knowledge: Expenses and Time for Northern and Southern Expeditions

Recently, the post on the equipment version to win the South Pole is very lively. But I found that almost everyone here did not know what it was like to go to the Antarctic/North Pole. Here is only a brief introduction. The main purpose is to let everyone know that many people now say that going to South Pole is totally different from the Antarctic exploration that you think.

First introduce the North-South Arctic tourism. Many people think that it is a matter of how NB is when they go to the North and South Pole. However, in fact, European and American countries have a long history of developing tourism resources for the North and South Pole. Now you can sign up as long as you have money. Quark Expeditions, the world's largest polar travel company, almost monopolizes all conventional tourism routes in the North and South Pole

Note: The following prices are for reference only and the price of polar travel is rising every year. In addition, the following prices are all quoted by the line companies themselves. If there are other companies intervening (for example, if the Chinese travel company organizes tours, the cost will usually be higher than the original quotation. This is normal. All prices are local prices. Does not include air tickets to and from China)

The South Pole route that has now been developed is mainly 6

1. Antarctic Explorer, This is the conventional route of the Quark Expeditions, starting/returning to Ushuaia in Argentina, not entering the Antarctic Circle. According to the ship, the time is 11 to 12 days. At present, most of our Chinese people, whether individuals or groups, participate in this route most of the time (almost 100% of the team members participate in this route or Article 3). The main reason is that this is the cheapest route in all the Antarctic tour routes. Prices start from 5,200 U.S. dollars. However, if the tickets are not sold out, discounted tickets can often be purchased at the place of departure several days before departure. Experience is about 4,100 US dollars can be obtained. The so-called Antarctic tourism is sitting on a small and medium-size scientific expedition icebreaker (mostly Russia, Northern Europe and other countries were refurbished after being eliminated in the 1980s and 1990s, and generally can carry about 100 travelers). Departure, after a two-day boat ride to the edge of the Antarctic continent, after the arrival, according to the weather we organized a boat to the beach, and then take pictures, and finally return to the boat. The Antarctic Explorer is the first-ever Antarctic tourist route. To put it bluntly, you can see the Antarctic continent with your own eyes. The entire trip will stay on the edge of the Antarctic continent for 4 days, then return to the original road, and you will be able to land several times in these 4 days. It depends on the weather. If the weather is not good enough, it is very likely that it will not go up once. This is the worst case. Of course, the probability of such things happening is not great. In addition, on the boat, there are various kinds of lectures every day. They are all about Antarctic animals/environments/science examinations.

2. Antarctica's Far East, the starting and returning place are all in Australia, the main one is the east coast of the Antarctic continent. There are very few people and the entire route is a ring line. It takes a total of 31 days and does not enter the Antarctic Circle. The cost starts from 41,000 USD. .

3. Antarctica Flights , starting/returning to Punta Arenas in Chile, this route actually looks almost identical to the first one, but the difference is that this route is a direct flight from Chile to the edge of Antarctica. , and then boarded a small boat, with the people on the first line to visit the Antarctic continent. There are two main reasons for the development of this route. First, it saves time and eliminates the need for a four-day ferry trip from Argentina to the Antarctic mainland. Second, the weather in these sea areas is complex. Many people here will experience extreme seasickness. This route is for a total of 8 days and costs from $9,800.

4. Crossing the Antarctic Circle, departing/returning to Ushuaia, Argentina, it can be seen from the name that the route will enter the Antarctic Circle. In fact, this route is an extension of the first route. In addition to what the first route sees, the ship will continue southbound until it enters the Antarctic Circle, but it will stop here for 15 days and costs $9,600. From.

5. Explorers' Quest, Departure/Return to Ushuaia in Argentina. I personally think that if the time/economy is not the best, this route is my first choice, except for those places where the first route passes. The route also goes to Falkland Islands and South Georgia. These two places are much larger than the first one to look only at the Antarctic continent, both from a humanistic and natural perspective. South Georgia is the world of imperial enterprises. If you get the right time, you can see the spectacular scenes where thousands of emperors are gathered together. The line lasts 20 days and the price starts from 10,000 US dollars.

6. Ross Sea, starting point in New Zealand, returning to Australia, the route is mainly to see this Antarctic continent between New Zealand and Australia, enter the Antarctic Circle and can reach the Rose Ice Cover, which Quark Expeditions can deepen. The southernmost route, which lasts 29 days, costs from $38,000.
