Last frontier in more than a way, Antarctic is the scientific and ecological treasure that not only catches the attention of scientists but explorers and travelers too. It has more than a surprise. On one side, it’s the biggest source of fresh water in the world though it’s the driest continent among all: air humidity is too low. On the other side, though it doesn’t have mountains above 5,200 meters, this is the continent with the highest above sea level altitude average. But one doesn’t come to Antarctic to say you’ve been in the driest or highest continent. One comes because of its beauty and the experience of being in a pristine environment where men are still visitors. Also, one comes to discover that Antarctic ice is different from the one forming the Patagonian glaciers, to chat with scientists and researchers from many countries living and working shoulder to shoulder in their remote bases, and to be face to face with penguins and fur seals. 

Chile runs several bases here and what is considered the only village in the continent, Villa Las Estrellas (Stars town), where even children are part of the population.
