The continent of Antarctica is one of the most climatically hostile places on earth. Any Antarctica trip should be properly planned and perfectly executed to avoid fatal mishaps.
The Antarctica trip is an exhilarating one due to a number of reasons. The magnificent bleak scenery stuns the visitor to the continent. No trip to Antarctica is complete without observing the local animal and plant species. The large number of penguins and seals will amaze the most jaded traveler. The continent of Antarctica belongs to no country established by the human race. Visas are not required to visit Antarctica. An Antarctic trip may be marred by a number of nature originated health risks. The health risks are dehydration, sun-burn, frostbite, hypothermia and snow blindness.
The Antarctic region could only be visited during regional summers. The summer season starts from the month of October and extends until the month of March. Summer is also the peak commercial tourist season. Tourists have a surfeit of activities to do during the warm season. The penguins mate in the month of November. October and November are the two mating months of the bird population of the Antarctic region. An Antarctica trip is incomplete without whale sighting. Whales may be sighted best during the month of February.
