Antarctica is often said to be the home of the “big eye.” This is due to the fact that many people who live here suffer from insomnia in the summer months since the sun never goes down, causing people to not be able to sleep, even at 3 a.m. There is an exclusive club on the continent, the most exclusive known world wide, that is called the “300-Degree Club”. A bar the furthest south of the border exists in Antarctica, no matter what you buy it all costs the same, even if it is an expensive cognac. But a single night can lead to a massive bill. The nights are extremely long due to starting in April and staying that way until September. Find out more about antarctica cruise prices through this website. The heartland of Antarctica is blanketed with a moving cap of ice that is 9,000 feet thick; however, geologists believe that there may be sufficient coal, natural gas, and oil to supply the planet within it. What few laws there are in Antarctica, are definitely different – they don’t extradite criminals, and anyone who would consider hiding out in nine million square miles of open, broad valleys, or in 15,000 ft. ranges of mountains, would have a tough time staying alive more than a few hours in what is the most incredible vicious environment in the world.
