They've finally done it - opened up the Antarctic to tourists.
Veteran explorer Capt. Finn Ronne of nearby Maryland will lead the first Antarctic expedition for tourists into the deep-freeze on a tour announced by Lindblad Travel, Inc., of New York.
Departure by Avianca jet from New York will be Jan. 11, and if you're really interested in getting away from it all, space is limited. Passengers will board the Argentine Navy's 50-passenger motorship Lapataia at Buenos Aires and head for Tierra del Fuego, southernmost city in the world, and a number of scientific stations in the Antarctic.
Round trip prices range from $2,800 to $3,000 - and that includes parka with hood, pants, boots and mittens.
Lindblad Travel, Inc., No. 1 East 53rd St., New York, has details.
