Was curious about the cost:
Overall Antarctica Cruise Cost [1]:
Low Budget $9,340
Mid-Range $13,010
Luxury $26,100
Guess the prices will only go up once climate change fully deploys the 3-degrees-warmer world [2].

- mahathu 3y agoOP mentioned they lived on a station, not doing a cruise!
- joshvm 3y agoI worked as a winterover, so I was paid to go. The cost of visiting the Pole is very high if you're there as a tourist (tens of thousands for a night). I believe some of the revenue does go towards science though, because the summer camps make use of e.g. the fuelling infrastructure for aircraft. Cruises are also very expensive. Though they're quite popular with researchers because it's a side of the continent that you don't get to see if you're not working on the coast.
