1．Have you ever gotten up one day and said to yourself，"I know what I want!I want to visit the South Pole!"Well，my guess is few of us have ever thought about this，much less to give it voice．Antarctic tours offer a chance to explore an almost totally pristine（原始的） area of our planet．Here you are given a chance to see and experience nature in its most pure form，untouched and unspoiled by civilization．
Antarctic tours are usually set in motion in the Argentina's capital city of Buenos Aires．From Buenos Aires one travels south to Tierra del Fuego and then to the world's southernmost city of Ushuaia．It is here at Ushuaia that your Antarctic tour cruise will sail you on your way to South Pole adventures．Sit back within a cocoon（保护） of warmth and comfort as you are gently whisked by giant glaciers lining Beagle Channel and Drake Passage．
After your arrival at Antarctica you will be taken by the motorized zodiac to the mainland．Here on the southernmost continent there are experts in the history，biology，geology and marine life in a classroom setting and wild excursions to aid your research，your studies or just plain curiosity．
Your Antarctic tour will bring you on a thrilling visit to see penguins，seals，sea lions and aquatic（ 水生的；水栖的）life found only here．You will enjoy the panoramic（全景的） view of a remote archipelago（群岛，列岛）with a warm temperate（ 温和的）climate and a colony of elephant．Then you will be struck by the rich life that exists only here．
A trip to Antarctica is a travel feast for the senses．Watch in amazement as a sheer cliff of ice drifts shining in the sunlight．You next experience the earsplitting sound of ice breaking off and the loud sound of crackling ice as it tumbles down from the floating ice mountain into the deepest bluest colored water．
