Comedy Goldsmith, really? There is a cruise that goes there every couple of years that is massively well publicised and has much more exciting skiing than that. Lots of ski celeb guides and the like. Not to mention a cottage industry in sail-ski trips.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Maybe not that expensive. A friend of mine got back after being away December and January and he's unemployed. Still French unemployment benefit is excessive. He's just one of a few locals I've heard of going there this year. Antarctica is the new Greenland, in fact I'll have to add it to the punter list. Most people seem to sail from South America.

Looking at iceaxe's prices, which are probably representative, they'll sell you three weeks in Antarctica with a guide and a boat for $18k, leaving from Ushuaia, which means you'll also need to spend a 4 figure sum for return flights from somewhere less exciting.
Half that amount of money will buy you a lot of very good skiing elsewhere in the world.

So I'd been told. Yet to receive a single centime though.
