Travelers looking to shake things up this season can embrace the cold with a polar adventure to Antarctica.
December marks the start of summer in Antarctica—the ideal time to visit—when temperatures reach just above freezing, the pack ice melts to let ships through, and the infamous Drake Passage is calmer. It’s also the perfect season for getting up close with Gentoo penguins, migrating blue whales and baby Penguin chicks.
