Alcohol is available in Antarctica and you will enjoy it. Having travelled to Antarctica a few years back I outline my tips on how to drink alcohol there and in fact this is now a top 6! Get on that boat and see the penguins, but relax while you're doing it. That beer will be cold and sweet.
1. Alcohol in Antarctica - drinking on Antarctic land
OK so strictly speaking this is illegal as you should take only water with you on your treks. But on our last landing in Antarctica, myself and 5 others all took a drink each onto the land to toast to our amazing trip. We chose either wine or beer and burst them open by some rocks near the Henry Arctowski Polish Station at Admiralty Bay on King George Island. It is probably the best place I have ever had a beer. Just there in the wilderness with penguins in behind. A must for drinking in Antarctica!
2. Having a drink in Antarctica - go out on the deck!
With snowstorms on board the boat and epic views of the landscape, while cruising down the cold continent I can't think of anything better to do than have a beer and admire the views. A great place to relax - even if it is freezing! At least you won't have to keep your beer cold!
3. Having a drink in Antarctica: Happy hour on board!
If you're on a tight budget, have no fear, happy hour is here! On board your boat you should be able to take full advantage of the Happy Hour meaning you can enjoy your backpacker lifestyle while sailing down the world's epic cold continent.
- There's a lounge bar on the boat which is usually open from 4pm - 7pm everyday.
- The Polar Bear Bar was open from around 8pm until closing time (whenever you wanted to stop drinking)
Over dinner you can also enjoy a drink - payment in cash at the end of the trip.
4. Alcohol in Antarctica - take your own booze
This is also a backpacker style option and where the real money saving is - buy some beer in Argentina and bring it on board to enjoy with your travel buddies!
5. Alcohol in Antarctica: Ukranian Station Bar
A great way to enjoy a drink in Antarctica is to actually drink in a bar on the cold continent. You're in luck! There is a bar at the Ukrainian Vernadskiy Station which even serves its own vodka. They actually make a vodka in Antarctica and you can sample it here.
6. Drinking in Antarctica: A Pint at the South Pole
Visiting the south pole is one of the best travelling things you can do on planet earth, so what better way to celebrate than by cracking open a beer to celebrate! Congratulations!
Imagine having a beer at the South Pole!
That's my 6 tips for drinking in Antarctica - if you can manage them all then I take my hat off to you! Congratulations!
