The icebergs slowly increase in number as the Antarctic coast nears. The passengers are gracious about sharing windows so everyone can snap pictures, shoot videos, or just catch a glimpse of the breathtaking view as the glaciers gracefully and slowly escape into the sea. Another spectacular view comes when the plan flies into view of the white ice capped Trans Antarctic Mountains that tower high into the sky. You can get resources on antarctic cruises by visiting this site.
Though the passengers don?t notice, the compass needle wobbles as the plane flies over the Magnetic South Pole. They are traveling over Antarctica on a one-day tour. Tourists can view sea ice thousands of meters below them that looks like the crests of ocean waves formed by winds that blast in towards the coast. Even from the airplane windows, the wind can be seen to whisk columns of snow across the glacier?s frigid white waves.
