About Antarctic Travel
To visit Antarctica is to travel beyond everyday experience and to achieve the extraordinary.
The Antarctic Environment
The Antarctic continent is a land mass covered with ice up to 13,000ft (4km) thick.
The Antarctic Treaty
The Antarctic Treaty is one of the world’s most successful international agreements.
Blue-ice Airfields
ANI uses blue-ice fields to land wheeled aircraft in Antarctica. These snow-free areas are a cornerstone of our operations. But what are blue-ice fields? How are they formed?
Map Resources
Many excellent map resources are available on the web, including interactive satellite images, downloadable topographic maps and more.
Travel Insurance
Due to the high cost of evacuation from Antarctica, all ANI guests are required to provide cover for medical evacuation.
Polar Trivia
Did you know ... Captain Robert Falcon Scott was the first person to 'off-deck' in Antarctica; and Antarctica has not just one but four Poles?
