I think the cheapest I saw was a short Antarctica cruise voyage (6 to 9 days) for around 5 grand per, and that's without the round trip flight to Argentina or Chile. But the average cost is probably more around roughly 10 grand (or more) a person.
It's not cheap that's for sure.

Did you know that if you go to Antarctica, you're supposed to keep your shit and piss in a bag so that it doesn't contaminate the continent?
I'm surprised Antarctica let's people go there without a negative covid test first.
Fuck it.

same thing I'm thinking like who the fuck in their right mind would want to go to Antarctica? Here I am in southern California I can barely handle anything under 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 69 is practically freezing for me. Having to wear a huge thick ass jacket constantly is not my idea of fun. Having to save my piss and shit doesn't sound like fun either. Sort of reminds me of when I was homeless and living in my car. I refuse to use public bathrooms so I just took a dump inside of a bag placed inside of a plastic tub in my car. And then I would throw the bag away in a dumpster and then sanitize the plastic bin that I would use. I would rather kill myself than go through all that again.

I don't know if anyone looks at those aspects of arctic life that you pointed out as fun.
The draw for those who would like to see it, and yes I understand why it certainly wouldn't be for everyone -- the draw for me personally would be to see the end of the earth. Actually probably (definitely even? although places like the Sahara may have something to say about that as well) the most inhospitable place on this entire earth.
There's something cool and fascinating and beautiful to me about that.

IMO it's bullshit that Antarctica was divided up like a pie by countries that just have a moon base like presence there. I think anyone tough enough to stick out out should be able to live there. Like international waters.

The reason it was done like this was so that nobody could figure out that the planet is flat and that Antarctica is the edge of the Earth. LOL. Just kidding I'm not a flat earther.

Yeah, no one is going to prevent you from setting up an autonomous commune in Antarctica. No nation is allowed to prevent anyone from doing so is the idea.
Gotta pledge fealty to the penguin barrons though.

All I know is that if you are a researcher wanting to do research in Antarctica, you have to go through a very long process to get approval and in the rules or whatever, you have to basically save your waste and dispose of it correctly so as not to disturb the ecosystem. You can't just go and set up camp in Antarctica.

Yeah I've done a fair bit of internet research on the question and there's nothing conclusive (that I found anyway) that explicitly says any random joe or jane can just show up to Antarctica to attempt to live. Although I guess it's certainly possible being that there is no governing body.
But I do know you're not getting anywhere near one of the 60 some scientific research bases out there that make up the entire population on the continent. Those very limited spots & positions are reserved only for those who are handpicked for their skill and/or trade and whom will be a contributing member to the team (of whatever base they're with). And best believe they will be vigorously vetted.
You sure as hell aren't showing up as a random and waltzing into the base and leasing out a 6 month lease on a McMurdo Station apartment
