Antarctica
I am taking my first trip to South America and will be going to the Southern
tip of Chili. We are thinking of taking a brief 12 hour flight/visit to King George Island in Antarctica. This will be in mid November. If anyone has had any experience with this kind of side trip I would appreciate any opinions as to whether it is worthwhile and what your experiences may have been. Thank you. Harvey |

Antarctica
As far as I know there is no brief 12 hour visit to King George Island. All
the trips to Antarctica from S America (mainly Ushuaia, Argentina) are by boat. I went to Antarctica two years ago. The shortest trip takes 9 days. Four days to and from Antarctica and five days in various places there (that may include King George Island). For your reference, the 9 days trip cost me US$1600. Let me know if u need any more info.

Pits, was inclined to say: June wrote: As far as I know there is no brief 12 hour visit to King George Island.

Till Holland America Lines also offers a South America and Antarctica cruise. That may not be what the O.P. is looking for, but I thought I'd mention it as an option for others. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M.
