The South Pole

With luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent reaching the South Pole might not be easy, but it is possible. For $42,000, amateur explorers are guided by experts like Geoff Somers, who has completed over 1,600 miles of snow and ice travel, including nine trips to the South Pole. The trip takes approximately 18 days, though guests are encouraged to leave five days at the beginning and end of the trip for flight delays and other unexpected occurrences.
