Antarctica cruises shows you how to prepare and what to bring on an Antarctica Cruise, based on my own experience at the Kapitan Dranitsyn on my Quark Expedition. For a more wildlife polar vacation chose Alaska cruises or Norwegian cruises or just go on all year round Carribean cruises.

The UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has expressed his concerns about climate change after making a historic visit to Antarctica.
Historic because people like you and me need to fork out our own money if we want to take part in the Antarctica tourism…
After seeing first hand the impact of rising temperatures, Mr Ban said that there is evidence that "should alarm us all".
What we actually should be alarmed of is all those politicians making the most expensive Antarctica cruise ever on taxpayers money! Ever wondered why there is never any mention about Antarctica hotels?
I mean: how the heck can Mr Ban see in 1 trip that there is a climate change going on in Antarctica? is it that the Antarctic ocean rose 4 inches due to the melting of the ice in the 4 days of Ban’s Antarctica vacation?

Highlighting examples of the impact of climate change, Mr Ban said that the glaciers on King George Island have shrunk by ten per cent and warned that the entire Western Antarctic ice shelf is at risk of disappearing completely.
So if it shrunk 10% in 4 days, that means they will be gone in the next 40 days? Or can you only agree that Mr. Ban is wasting money just for his personal pleasure to go on an Antarctica tour!
The secretary-general added that animals living in Antarctica will suffer more than they have already; the penguin population of Chabrier Rock has fallen by 57 per cent during the last quarter of a century.

Now we are talking: if you really want to experience climate changes, you need to spend 25 years on Antarctica, not doing a 4 day Antarctica trip like Mr. Ban does…
His visit to Antarctica comes ahead of an international conference on climate change in Bali this December. Bali: another exotic travel destination…
