Make sure you stand at the front of the boat, with your arms out-stretched and shout, "I'm on the bottom of the world, ma!"

Well, since you like scuba...consider this :-

I must admit, I fancied this trip for a few years now. I'm sure I have my dry suit around still but admit not much call for it in Brisbane

You won't find Tesco's there so it's probably a cool place to go

I visited antartica 25 years ago whilst in the Navy. Sailed down through pack ice. Probabley the most memorible trip of my life. I got to camp out next to a big king penguin colony, annoy the shite out of elephant seals and just take in the most pristine enviroment on the planet. If you get the chance to go, jump at it.
