2Antarctica
Antarctica is the ultimate frontier for adventure travelers. The world’s coldest, driest, and windiest continent offers extreme challenges for those who seek to explore its icy expanses. Temperatures can plummet to -128°F (-89°C), and the constant threat of blizzards and shifting ice makes survival difficult. Expeditions to Antarctica often involve trekking across glaciers, camping on the ice, and enduring some of the harshest conditions on the planet. The continent’s remoteness means that help is far away, so adventurers must be self-sufficient and prepared for anything. Despite the dangers, Antarctica offers unparalleled beauty and the chance to experience one of the last truly wild places on Earth.
