Crying! A trip to Antarctica is so expensive!

People who know Paul Walker must first think of the handsome and brave man in "The Fast and the Furious" who brings us unlimited visual stimulation.

I will also remember that he left the public eye because of the car accident, and feel regret and heartache.

I am a die-hard fan of his. When I think of him, I will think of many of the characters he created in my mind.

?

I wonder if you have watched the movie "Antarctic Adventure"?

The protagonist is also Paul Walker.

?

The film was released a long time ago. I vaguely remember that the play describes an expedition team and the Antarctic under the changing weather environment. The story of their sled dogs. The loyalty of the sled dogs and the danger of the Antarctic ice weather all left a deep impression on me.

?

So, what is Antarctica like?

Is there a deadly danger hidden under the snow-covered beauty like in "Antarctic Adventure"?

As depicted in "Happy Feet", the entire continent is occupied by cute penguins, and there is joy.

What is Antarctica like? ?

?

Fat, plump-fronted penguins are everywhere , they were amused in groups

?

The cute pirates sunbathe every day

The snow-capped mountains splashed by avalanches on the ocean , the shape is completely natural

?

Although it is the southern end of the world, with ice and snow all year round, you can never get tired of seeing it

Antarctica, an inaccessible place surrounded by oceans This place always feels like it should be a stop on the journey of life.

But it is not easy to go there.

Regardless of the distance and the cost, it cannot be a casual journey.

The farthest point of the earth must be relatively far away.

Currently, the only ways to get to Antarctica are airplanes and ships.

Most ordinary tourists choose ships because of safety and comfort. Moreover, there will be more stops that the cruise ship passes through, which is a feast for the eyes.

Choose a ship route, including a trip to the Antarctic Peninsula, a trip across the Antarctic Circle, and a trip to the Three Antarctic Islands.

The travel time is about 16-25 days. So a trip to Antarctica takes a lot of time.

If you choose to take a connecting flight and ship to the Antarctic location, you will not start from Argentina, the conventional route, nor will you need to cross the windy and rough Drake Passage and start from Santiago. However, the cost will be more expensive.

You can also choose to take a plane directly, which is generally chosen by adventurers who go to the South Pole or hike.

The fewest people choose this method because the price is also more expensive, usually above 400,000.

?

If you take the cruise route, the cost will be 200,000-600,000, depending on the length of the route and the ship you choose. Currently, the average person has been to Antarctica. The cost is said to be around 400,000.

I think this span is quite large.

Who asked to go to the poles of the earth? How can you appreciate the beauty of this end of the world without spending money?

?

In fact, I saw in a post that a couple traveled to Antarctica on a budget, spending less than 100,000 yuan. The route was from Guangzhou to Antarctica. Argentina, and then entered Antarctica from Ushuaia, but the air tickets and ferry tickets purchased were the cheapest in the off-season. It was said to be a "last-minute boat ticket" for the Antarctic wedding photos.

However, with the development of tourism in recent years, I believe the price of going to Antarctica will only increase rather than decrease.

The most difficult thing about going to Antarctica is getting a visa.

?

You can go to Antarctica from Argentina, Chile, New Zealand and other countries. But it’s really hard to get a South American visa, and it’s even harder if you’re traveling from Argentina.

If you have all the air tickets and boat tickets ready, but cannot get the visa, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain.

But the visa for departure from Argentina is very contradictory. If you have air tickets and ferry tickets, the visa will be slightly easier. Therefore, materials must be prepared very carefully before departure. Or find a travel agency to help you feel more at ease.

When you think of Antarctica, you will feel ice and snow, very cold.

Then it is necessary to bring windproof jackets, gloves, walking sticks, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. in advance. In addition, if you are taking a boat, prepare earplugs, seasickness medicine, etc.

The most important thing is that there is currently no mobile phone signal in the Antarctic region, and satellite phones are needed for communication, so before going, you must put aside all the cumbersome chores and travel with peace of mind, otherwise you will have to spend huge amounts of money for communication. .

?

In fact, I currently cannot calculate how much it will cost to go to Antarctica, because there are too many uncertainties in a trip.

(Small regret here)

However, it may be inaccessible because of the high cost and long distance.

It is precisely because humans rarely land here that it is so beautiful. Maybe it is worth spending more money to see it once in a lifetime.

I just hope that every friend who goes to Antarctica will take nothing away except memories and leave nothing behind.
