Would consider a cruise so I can pay to have the privilege of barfing in the drake passage

Nope. Getting mauled by a polar bear or falling in a crevice is > 0% chance, therefore, I’m out.

There are no polar bears in Antarctica.

Mt wife and I took an ice breaker out of Ushuaia, Argentina to Antarctica 15 years ago this month. It was the trip of a lifetime.

The ship serviced several research stations along the coast of Antarctica (food, fuel & other supplies & pick up garbage) and had 12 passenger cabins which they rented for $25,000 each to accommodate 24 passengers/tourists for each 14 day voyage.

Does this excursion take you near the north pole where the big mans workshop is?

I know someone who has been. They did not do this, they did something that costs far less money

I would definitely consider it. I'm about to have 4 Continents down with 3 to go. Probably will do Aus, then Africa, and then we will see if I ever make it there but I would

What sort of activities would you do beyond hiking in the ice and snow?

everyone was locked locked in their cabins for the crossing, something like forty hours

I thought 15 hours of turbulence on the way to Australia tested my alcohol consumption limits. 40 hours would straight make me drink like a sailor.

I would like to experience that but 40 hours is a lot, my daughter had a couple of bottles of wine stashed away but her roommate was seasick for the crossing
