Antarctica is otherworldly, like nothing I've ever seen before. Stark, cold, beautiful desolation.
I think part of the appeal of Antarctica is experiencing some sort of power, the forces of the natural world.

The swim at Deception Island was by far the hardest swim I've ever done. Antarctica is a very unforgiving environment. If you don't train properly, you'll die.
The best experience that we have on Earth is the fact that we have scientific stations, weathering over stations down in the Antarctic for almost the entire 20th century to learn how to exist in exceedingly hazardous conditions; and the Moon is far more hazardous than Antarctica.
