That's nice of you, pang, but I really do need to know the best way to get there. Boat? Plane? Should I swim?

Try riding a glacier or something there.

Let me rephrase...

Get your tight booty over here.

That would be cold, wouldn't it?

By Humpback Whale Express⢠of course.

But seriously, I think there are cruiser ships going to or near Antarctica, because rich people find it so much fun to go paragliding in Antarctica (tourists...). The other way would be with a research team, most likely by plane. There may be other ways, but those two are the ones I'm aware of.

If you used a plane it'd probably have to be a personally flown aircraft and not commercial. There are airports in Antarctica, but planes do not fly over Antarctica (for the most part). Boat is probably the most common method.

This link is actually pretty helpful.

If you are going to swim I would recommend wearing long johns and a airt tight scuba suit. As well you should wrapped yourself in bubble wrap and pack a portable microwave and hot pockets (link 2).

Oh! Someone needs directions....

Take I-95 south to exit 204, then take highway 54 to highway 9. Then take highway 9 to I-95.

LOL I was gonna give the Google Maps route from Barbados, but no such luck.

I guess it is a serious question; try here http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forum.jspa?forumID=10&keywordid=246 . It's a pretty popular holiday destination these days, I think; I'm sure some other travel biggies will have their own forums on it, as will LP and some of the others probably have guidebook titles on it.

Take an airport to Flordia, Then to Brazil, then ANOTHER one to 'ze bottom of South America. Then swim there. Before you know it. You will be dead in 1 hour.
