This is a piece I wrote for a 500 word travel competition - I was trying to win a trip to Antarctica! I was hopeful when they contacted me for photos but no I did not win. I will get to Antarctica one day soon. Don’t be put off by the sleeping in cars and frosty nights- a high standard of accommodation, including luxury tented camps, can be provided for each night- and we can get you a much better car! But it was an adventure, and one you can experience too…
