The Atlantic adventure is safe, comfortable, and still holds the same exotic beauty and mysterious wonder that attracted the brave explorers of long ago. Ships are built with double hulls and are now equipped with the latest in navigation technology. Adventurers are able to enjoy the comforts of home in this far-off place.

Naturalists and biologists are also part of the team who will give you more information on the various wildlife as well as the plants and animals found in the icy waters around the continent and even those that thrive on the harsh environment above sea level.

With glaciers and icebergs of impressive size and beauty, they are both fearsome and awesome to behold. Glaciers and icebergs can be as tall as the highest skyscraper and can be as wide as five even ten city blocks. Not to mention that the exposed area usually just a small part, more specifically just a mere 10% of an iceberg is floating above water and the rest remains submerged.

But the beauty can be breathtaking! With every shape imaginable – it may look like the Arc de Triomphe. With a touch of artistic inspiration, Mother Nature creates icebergs striped and adorned with different colors like blue, green, black, yellow and brown.

An Antarctica adventure also gives you a first-hand experience with some of nature’s most amazing animals such as marine mammals, seabirds, seals, sea lions as well as rare species of plants and animals found in no other part of the world but in the vast expanse of the land and seas of Antarctica.

Every airline pilot had to start somewhere. In learning to fly the first step is to schedule an introductory flight, which is usually a 30 minute flight and costs about $50.

If you are excited about your introductory flight and want to continue, the next step is to see an aviation medical examiner who is a doctor in your area approved by the aviation authorities (FAA) to issue a medical certificate to pilots. Class 1 is for airline pilots, class 2 is for commercial pilots (paid to fly), and class 3 is for recreational pilots. If your goal is to one day become a commercial pilot, it is good advice you to go for the class 1 or class 2 certificate to make sure you qualify.

The private pilot license, commonly called the PPL, is the first license to obtain as a pilot. You cannot fly for pay or hire using your private pilot license. You can fly all by yourself the same way a driver’s license lets you drive a car by yourself.

Training for a PPL in the US will cost you about $4000-5000 through a flight school but the cost would be spread over your course of flight training. As flight training is normally charged per hour of flight and you will pay as your training progresses.
