An Antarctica vacation is all about cruising at the southern end of the earth, the South Pole. Being inaccessible to people all around the world, the only way to reach the Frozen Continent is by taking a cruise from Ushuaia in Argentina or Punta Aires in Chile. Apart from being stunned from the beauty of Antarctica, the cruise will also take you along the beautiful islands of Falklands and South Georgia. Both these independent islands make a marvelous addition to your trip because of their unique wildlife and remarkable beauty! Getting to Antarctica is no fun if you do not feel some thrill while you pass from the Drake Passage. The Drake Passage is the point where the Pacific, Southern, and Atlantic seas converge and make you experience the roughness of the seawater. If you are a wildlife enthusiast and want to see the birth of cute nestlings, then you should plan a trip around Mid-December. To experience the beauty of this winter wonderland, you should take the cruise for the best trip of your life!
