| Antarctica
Antarctica is the only uninhabited land on our planet. Although the continent was first discovered in 1820, the name Antarctica was first named by the Ancient Greeks, who believed that since there was a land mass in the North that was known as Arctos, or “The Arctic”, than there must be a similar land mass on the opposite side of the earth. “Antarctica” was the name that they gave this land that had yet to be discovered.
 Discover
Since there are no inhabitants there is also no government and Antarctic is the only land on the earth that has no national claims. It is the coldest place on the earth and during its winter there can be days without any sunlight.
Expidition
In recent years Antarctica has gained popularity as a global tour destination. The sites that are to be seen in Antarctica are so dramatic that you need to make sure you bring enough film. Explore the immaculate wilderness of snow. Cruise through narrow passage ways passing icebergs so massive they make cities look small. Disembark on breathtaking land incursions on the South Shetland Islands. On land bare witness to colonies of thousands of penguins, and beaches occupied by leopard seals in the masses.
An Antarctica expedition is sure to be one adventure that can not be duplicated in a lifetime.
