Antarctica

Spectacular polar scenery that you could normally only dream about.

This is your opportunity, if you are planning to be in Australia in December 2008, to see Antarctica in all it's grandeur.

In 1994 Qantas reintroduced scenic flights to Antarctica, the first since 1979. These flights were an outstanding success. This years flights will operate from Sydney and Melbourne from December 2006 through to February 2007.

Antarctica is a vast island continent. It is twice the size of Australia and is the last remaining wilderness continent on earth. It consists of a magnificent polar plateaux, vast mountain ranges and expanses of permanent ice four kilometres deep which never melt.

Come with us, see Antarctica and you could have the best flight of your life.
