When Is The Best Time To Visit Antarctica?
The best time to visit Antarctica is during the Southern Hemisphere's summer months, from November to March. Travel to Antarctica with APT in February. During this period, the ice recedes enough to allow access by ship, and the warmer temperatures make excursions more manageable. Each part of the season offers a unique perspective of Antarctica's dynamic ecosystem and landscapes, making it a breathtaking travel experience regardless of when you choose to visit.
