As mentioned there is no such thing as a gay scene in Antarctica. In fact, with just about 1000 actual residents (mostly scientists), there isn’t really any sort of scene! But fear not, if you’re joining our Antarctica: Gay Expedition we’ll make our own scene.
Best Time to Visit: We visit in December, which is the southern hemisphere’s summer. As Ushuaia’s warmest month, it will average 9.6 °C/49.3 °F. Once near the Antarctic Peninsula, average temperatures are barely above freezing. Being the continent’s northernmost point, the peninsula has the most moderate climate and increased participation, but also the fiercest winds, with gusts up to 200 mph.
Electricity: N/A
Time Zone: Antarctica sits on all time zones, but we’ll be in the Northern Peninsula (GMT-03:00).
Covid-19 Vaccination Requirements: We’re dedicated to ensuring our tours are safe for everyone, but it is our belief that each traveler has a responsibility to protect themselves and their fellow travellers from COVID-19. As of May 1, 2023, Out Adventures no longer requires guests to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination on most of our tours. If vaccination is a requirement for entry, or on select cruises, this will be communicated at the time a trip is confirmed to depart. Before booking, we recommend that you read our COVID-19 Information Page and our COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions to understand what we’re doing to minimize risk, and what will happen if you contract COVID-19 before or during an Out Adventures tour.
Vaccinations: For Argentina, our departure point, the WHO suggests typhoid, cholera, yellow fever, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), and influenza vaccines. No vaccines are required for Antarctica. Consult with your doctor or a travel medical clinic for more info.
Visas: For Argentina, the most common departure point, Americans, Canadians, Australians, and EU citizens do not need a visa. As no country owns Antarctica, no visa is required.
