An uncharted territory with unique biodiversity in the Southern Hemisphere, Antarctica is the world’s fifth largest continent without native settlements. Comprising islands and mountains, it features a cold, dry climate. In the coastal regions, the average temperatures range from -30°C to 9°C. On the other hand, the mountainous areas in the interiors of the continent have colder temperatures between -60°C and -20°C. Separated by the 1000 km –wide Drake Passage from South America, the Antarctic Peninsula is a popular gateway to the continent. It comprises glaciers and iceberg-laden channels, of which the most popular one is Errera Channel featuring colonies of Gentoo Penguins. On the northern part of the peninsula, the South Shetland Islands are best known for glaciers and seals. A part of the archipelago is Deception Island comprising a whaling station, several scientific research stations and two active volcanoes. Among the tourist favourites is ‘Kodak Alley’, also known as Lemaire Channel. Flanked by towering cliffs rising up to a staggering 1000 m above sea level, it is well-known for humpback, orca and minke whales. As there are only research stations from different countries in Antarctica, there is no other provision for restaurants and bars. Cuisines from different countries are available on cruise ships or at research stations. The most common food is shellfish, trout, tuna, Pemmican, Hoosh and chocolate.
