Antarctic star cruise

Antarctica is widely documented as the best place for astronomy on the planet. Home to some of the driest conditions on earth and very calm local atmospheric air patterns, these combine to produce pretty much unparalleled visibility. However, a keen stargazer may be put off by the difficulties involved in getting to Antarctica and it is an often dangerous place to explore for all but the most adventurous of souls. But it is in fact within reach for those wishing to experience the most southern of skies. The cruises are suitable for those with no or little astronomy training and experience and all include related talks and guided stargazing sessions.
