Travel Destinations of Antarctic Peninsula (Antarctica).

Antarctica is a continent, not a country. This frozen place a little smaller than 2x Australia has mountains, deserts and a whole lot of snow and ice. Different countries claim parts of it, but very few people live there. The only real inhabitants are penguins.

You can reach Antarctica by ship from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

The Antarctic Peninsula is the part of Antarctica just South of Argentina and Chile, where most cruises go. Besides tourists and ice, you may encounter penguins and scientist here.
