What are the attractions of Antarctic tourism?

China Antarctic Great Wall Station, referred to as Great Wall Station for short, is the first scientific research station established by China Polar Research Institute in Antarctica, which is located in the southwest of Antarctica and south of king george island. Today, the Great Wall Station has become a must for China people to travel to the South Pole. Even if they can't land, even if they see the red outer wall in the distance of the spacecraft, they are very excited. If you can visit the Great Wall Station and send a postcard to your family from there, it's really a lucky thing! Do you need a visa to travel to Antarctica?

Tiantangwan

Paradise Bay is considered by many tourists as the most beautiful place on the Antarctic Peninsula, and the magnificent icebergs here are impressive. Cruising in an assault boat is a perfect experience. Beware of blue-eyed cormorants perched on cliffs.

Deception island

The shape of the deception island is very strange, it is a broken ring shape. There are polar volcanoes here, which erupt regularly, and volcanic cones formed by volcanic ash accumulation create natural harbors. Generally, tourists by boat will go ashore in Whalers Bay and enjoy the wonders on the shore: black beaches, white clouds and the smell of sulfur in the air. Imagine that you are stepping on the hot air from underground, and there is endless snow in the distance. You will sigh that there are such beautiful scenery on the earth.

Port Rockroy

The most popular stop is the museum converted from the former site of British Antarctic Station (Base A). The whole building is only 100㎡, and 35 people are allowed to enter each time. My colleagues in the museum are still a small post office, with postcards 1 USD/piece. Except for the largest living room, which was converted into a store to sell souvenirs, the layout of other rooms and the placement of items inside were the same as when British explorers lived here.

South Georgia i.

South Georgia was once the whaling capital. During the period of 1925- 1926, there were 5 whaling stations and 23 whaling ships in South Georgia, and 1855 blue whales, 5,709 fin whales, 236 humpback whales and 12 sperm whales were killed in one year. Then, under the influence of the Great Depression and people's growing voice for environmental protection, the last whaling station was finally closed at 1965.

the Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands are still disputed islands (Argentina and Britain), and South Americans call them "Falkland Islands"-Malvinas Islands. The Falkland Islands in the Antarctic trip is a surprise for many tourists before they arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula. Actually, it's also very interesting here. Although there are only more than 3,000 residents on the island, they have actually lived here for a long time. There are 400 kilometers of roads on the island, and there are pastoral pictures of herding sheep and cooking and smoking.

drake passage

Located between the southern tip of South America and South shetland islands, the Drake Strait is the widest strait (970km) and the deepest strait (5248m) in the world. Drake is called "Devil's Strait" because the westerly winds and northerly winds in this sea area are very strong, and the wind and waves make the hull particularly bumpy. Because starting from ushuaia to the Antarctic Peninsula needs to pass through this strait, this strait has also become an inevitable test for many people before their successful trip to the Antarctic.
