well, it seems that to get to Antarctica from South America is a) costly and b) doesn’t happen year round.

the trips i have found are about $3000-$4000 and they happen between November and March. i have a sneaking suspicion that i won’t be able to get to Antarctica on this particular trip. but, i did see that there are flights from Chile so maybe 2012 holds a trip to Chile with an Antarctic diversion?

see how it is, i haven’t even gone on the five week Argentina trip and i’m already looking at what i can do next year……
