> I would love to visit Antarctica. After reading the book _Antarctica_ by Kim Stanley Robinson, I wish that there were affordable tours for that continent.
There are small cruise ships, and passenger room on research vessels, that go down to the ice from here. "Affordable" is relative, but I think an Antarctic cruise is about the same cost, all up, as a holiday trip to Europe; maybe NZ $5000 or so. Europe is about as mystic and remote a destination as Antarctica, around here, but I hope to visit both some day.
