You can go to Antarctica. There are tours. You have to book them, book them on a waiting list. They cost a lot. But they'll get you to it. https://www.auroraexpeditions.co.uk/antarctica-22-23-special-offer/?msclkid=0cc8d611226b18ddbaa6b51be01d35ee
An example of a tour operator. It runs it frequently, but it costs. Tours also get booked years ahead. Due to when is best for animal sightings, and temperature, etc. Because capacity is limited. But there are a number of them operating.

My Dad was thinking of going, it's on his bucket list.
As far as this dumb thread, it's dumber than shit. Freezing conditions in heavy minuses they often place stuff on stilts. It could be any number of towers, coms, observation, storage, etc.
Have you been dropped on your head. I provided an example of the tour. Then what else did I provide. Did you read it. You can go down there for look at all that stuff you can do. By plane even. It obviously needs applying for, outside of tour. Or you'll die, then it costs more finding your dumbass. But there are laws and protocols of what you can and can't do on it.
Your boat dumbass, needs equipment. Or you'll freeze. It needs navigation to get through the ice. Even on the tour read it, they have multiple routes planned, very flexible to their schedule because it can get rearranged by weather, ice, sea, etc. But that schedule has a window. A window when they tour in. Hence it is booked up ahead, or offers to get capacity if it isn't. Capacity is small.
It's like retards in here, down voting because of stupid.
POO POO HEAD
So like do they tour the entire continent or just the guided tour areas?
Idk why but I get the impression you think Antarctica is the size of Disney World.
Have you ever seen the city of tunnels under Disney? I didn’t think so. Neither do the other millions that go every year.
Your only allowed to see what they want.
You know they do tours in North Korea too. I imagine there is allot unseen in them tours as well. In fact those tours are designed specifically to mislead people about the reality’s of that land.
Food for thought.
Also you could become a part of stuff. Antarctic stations periodically have job offers - IT stuff, electricians, mechanics, lab assistants, a lot of usual jobs. The only demand is to be relatively healthy, without need for special treatmens during a term and have international passport.
So, if you are healthy and have some real skills (not some bullshit "specialist" in "blockchain trending data processing"), it is not a problem to get a job in Antarctica for 6-12 months and become a part of expedition.
In Russia they even search for people on IT, electricians, and other professional forums. Not many people willing to spend a half year on a small station far from everything in extremely cold weather for not so big salary.
Relatively healthy no it's a bit more than that, extreme temperature often takes adjustment. So there are today these health and safety checks done on personnel, now it's mental health. Or Igor goes postal. He did a few years ago over there. Killed his annoying colleague, for telling him the ending of the books he was reading. Yea wouldn't you. But, no. You need to be vetted on the treadmil with the electrodes today and answer all the psychological questions often having a background with degrees and bullshit, in the west.
Russia has similar opportunity everywhere in their nation, because it's in the Arctic and they are use to it. Not such a bad job getting away from it all for months, saving a wage. Reading, even studying something, while watching and monitoring the equipment. It doesn't take much more. Not a bad job. Except it's in Russian.
As I know, in Russia applying that job you need a good teeth, no cardiac issues, no chronic diseases, no diabetes and that's all. As for mental health, there are some check, but it is like driver license mental health check - you should not be diagnosed with mental issue earlier and short conversation with psichyatrist.
You are correct that Russia have a lot of such jobs - mining, weather stations, military bases and other stuff in distant Arctic. Moreover we have whole cities in places with climate like in Antarctica - Mirny, Norilsk, Yamburg, etc. Some people live in that cities constantly, but most are on 1/3/6 month shift contracts - f.e. 6 months work in Arctic, 3 months of vacations at home.
I also consider such job in Antarctica as an opportunity to escape that clown world for a while. When everything around finally make me totally fucking sick of it, may be I'll accept one of that job offers. :)
No scam. Where do they go. The part with the information center. It has various tours, and transport to the different bases, if you aren't going direct, it has international clients, possibly shops, restaurant, hotel etc. From there are specific research stations with claims, territory, military owned, or different institutes and national research programs. Some are just outposts collecting data, meteorological, atmospheric. But restricted access, depending on what research they're doing. Many co-exist, work together, help each other. Restricted because hell who and what responsibility are you. If you die from extremes who is responsible. They have had people trying to hike across it end to end, for record breaking. But they didn't survive. Some, and more do. Quite a few. There is also that renowned mountain to climb for the World Summit challenge. They have groups doing that one. As well as the end to end hike. West- East. Not center, permissions. So tour operators operate on licenses and permits. Hike, and climb, like stated you need to be pro, real pro, or you aren't doing it. Maybe you can buy your way in. But not completely, it ain't Everest. No, sherpas. Group of pros. There is also all the Wildlife research penguins, whales, etc, these are the main attraction. Otherwise I mean seriously, it's all the same.
You wanted to find inner Earth. Hahaha. No. You wanted to fly accross another nation's military base. Hahaha. No. But you were looking for the aliens. Hahaha. No. Come on.
You wanted to find the specific research, on meteorites, atmospheric phenomenon, on the lake, frozen forest? Hell you aren't getting it. Watch a documentary.
