Yes, but the minimum cost is as high as 70K. If you want to go to the South Pole, you need to fly to Argentina or Chile, and then go to the South Pole. They usually take a cruise from ushuaia. Because you have to pass through the Drake Strait, there is a great possibility of seasickness, so you need to prepare seasickness medicine. To apply for a visa in Argentina, you must find a qualified travel agency, and you need a lot of documents. The visa fee is about 2500 yuan, and the information needed for the visa needs to be prepared about two months in advance. To apply for a visa, you must have been to other developed countries. The most economical way for individuals to go to the North Pole is to go to Longyearbyen, Norway at 78 degrees north latitude. China Arctic Research Station is located on this archipelago, and its latitude is much higher than Zhongshan Station and Great Wall Station in Antarctica. I went in winter and saw the beautiful aurora. Starting from Germany, the one-way round-trip ticket is more than 3000 RMB. Live in the Arctic in the off-season in winter, and only need 500 yuan for one night. Arctic salmon lobster only costs tens of yuan. There are planes every day, and a Schengen visa is enough.
