The number of visitors to Antarctica is set to reach 100,000 for the first time in 2023-2024. The vast majority of cruises only visit the northern corner of the Antarctic Peninsula.

In a unique case in the history of human beings, Antarctica belongs to no one. The conditions on how you could visit Antarctica were detailed in the Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty on Environmental Protection, better known as the Madrid Protocol. It is legally binding for all companies that want to operate in Antarctica and for all visitors.
