Why Budget Doesn't Mean Basic
Antarctica on a Budget from Mumbai
Antarctica is the world's last great wilderness — a continent the size of Europe covered in ice up to 4.8km thick, with no indigenous human population and an ecosystem existing nowhere else on earth. Reaching it requires crossing the Drake Passage (the world's roughest ocean) — and what greets visitors is overwhelming: icebergs the size of cathedrals, half-million penguin colonies, leopard seals on ice floes, humpback whales breaching in midnight light and a silence that has no analogy anywhere inhabited.
