Insider tips for Antarctica from Chennai
- Expedition cruise departs from Ushuaia, Argentina — the world's southernmost city
- Book 12–18 months ahead — Antarctica expedition slots sell out, especially Nov (first penguins)
- From Chennai (MAA), connect via Buenos Aires (EZE) then Ushuaia (USH) — book as a single itinerary for best pricing
⚠️ Avoid: March–October (no expedition cruises operate — Antarctic winter)
