Antarctica

Covered almost entirely by ice, this extraordinary and breathtakingly beautiful white wilderness is a dream destination for travellers. If its meditative peacefulness is not enough, one can partake in some exciting adventure and wildlife activities in this region. One can kayak between icebergs, take the ‘polar plunge’ and swim in sub-zero waters, or scuba dive.
