South America offers an abundance of experiences. Roam around its beautiful cities and breathtaking natural sites, immersing yourself in the rich diversity each country has to offer. Taste the world-class food that South America is known for—whether it’s savory Argentine steak, fresh Peruvian ceviche, or the flavorsome street food of Brazil.
Start by trying the delicious local food. You’ll find a variety of flavors that reflect the culture and history of the region. The food here is famous and something you won’t forget.

Lastly, take a moment to learn about the history and traditions. Whether it’s visiting landmarks or just walking through the streets, there’s so much to see and learn in this remarkable region.
Antarctica is the coldest continent on earth. The ice sheet in the Antarctic is the biggest mass of ice on earth and it can even be up to four miles thick. Moreover, this continent as a whole contains around 90% of the earth’s freshwater ice and about 70% of the total freshwater.
Another interesting thing about Antarctica is that the earth’s tilt affects the sunrise and sunset here. And the result? The sun does not rise in winter and it doesn’t set during summer! So if you visit in winter, it will be dark on the continent. Amazing, isn’t it?
