    Antartica?

    So, uh, I'm turning 40 and the world's coming to an end soon apparently. Soooo I figure this is a good year to go see Antarctica.

    Yeah, it's stupid expensive. Friend who skis and went says it was great/worth it.

    Looking for a like-minded cabin mate. Minimal snoring, dirtbag/not loaded, tolerable company.

    Antartica?

    Cool trip. When you do the polar bear plunge, don’t go head first.

    Maybe you’ll get to see iceberg A23a.

    A cruise ship is pretty easy altho those trips are expensive


    I think it would be fucking expensive and logisticaly hard to ski it




    altho I hear Trump is going to claim it for America which might make it easier

    Antartica?

    Obviously with price, the demo isn’t dirtbag ski bums, but IceAxe has been doing this for a while and the skiing looks decent when they get the weather. Definitely super insta worthy photo ops. I’m sure some mag or two has made the trip and can report on it

    The crossing is definitely a likely barf fest for most

    The drake passage makes me want to barf just thinking about it. I am not great with sea sickness so when the husband asked about an Antarctic trip a couple of years ago I took a pass. That sea passage freaks me out

    I have not. Currently wrestling with the fact that they want me to pay an extra 3 grand to ski...on this "Skiing trip". Cheap.
