When did this become a continent? Serious question. It seems like a bizarro definition of a continent.


Since Risk! bro.

I think it makes more sense to me. It seems odd to call the continent Australia with New Zealand, Tasmania etc around and being a part of it.

But to be honest I just called it that to see if someone would bring it up because I'm curious where the world is on the name for it. I think counting Hawaii is a bit odd for sure and even though I'm going there in December I would not consider that as counting for my total.

Antarctica is the last one for me to visit.

Eventually I will get there. But I still have too many other countries I want to visit first.

Just Antarctica left. Want to do the Nat Geo Cruise there....the vacation for two costs more than a new car...which is why it’s going to be a stretch to make it there.

Antarctica is fairly easy to visit; IF you're in the Air Nat'l Guard...

I don’t have Antartica, so technically no.

I’ve been to all except Antarctica.

However... while in the navy, my submarine surfaced on the North Pole and we got to walk around on the ice. So that’s cool I guess

I visited Ushuaia which is where Antarctic cruises usually depart. A multi-day excursion starts around $10k/person...don't think I'll be crossing that off my list anytime soon.

what would a tourist/visitor even do in antarctica? I would assume there aren't little cities/towns so one you get there do you basically just walk around and camp out to say you've been there then leave?

From what I’ve read, the main attraction of visiting Antarctica is simply saying you visited Antartica. They have excursions from the tip of Chile that will ferry you there. Like a cruise that will see highlights from the boat and allow you to step foot there.

I could be wrong since I’ve never been. But that’s what my internet research has suggested.
