Life advice: You must visit Antarctica at least once

Antarctic trekking guide: 1. Currently, Antarctic scenic areas do not allow external vehicles to enter. Ways to enter: A: Hiking in (about 30+ kilometers, takes a whole day, not recommended) B: Find a leader (they have their ways, you know) 2. Antarctic trekking is divided into a large loop and a small loop. Small loop: Start from Lake 3, hike around two and a half lakes, which is not very difficult, about 5 kilometers back and forth, and it takes about 3 hours to walk and take photos, not very challenging. Large loop (super beautiful, we took the large loop): Start from Lake 3, hike from Lake 4 to Lake 9, the whole journey is more challenging, the most exhausting part is climbing the mountain and crossing the pass between Lakes 5 and 6, climbing to the top to see the incredibly beautiful Lake 5, the large loop is about 14 kilometers in total, usually takes 6-7 hours, with a relatively high altitude climb, you need a local guide to lead, as there are many forks, cliffs, and primitive forests that can easily lead to getting lost, the journey offers views of mountains, meadows, lakes, primitive forests, and streams, highly recommended for those who are capable. Trekking precautions⚠️ 1. You must communicate with the leader on how to enter the mountain, as it is really far. 2. The weather in Antarctica is unpredictable and it often rains, so it is recommended to bring a raincoat, or wear a rainproof jacket, we experienced countless rains along the way. 3. Essential equipment: A rainproof jacket, waterproof hiking shoes, trekking poles, knee pads are highly recommended (I wear them because of a knee injury, so they are very useful for protection)‼️Hat, sunscreen, gloves (it's very cold up there, around 10 degrees and raining) Clothing: A quick-dry shirt, a waterproof jacket, and a fleece because it might get cold in the backpack 4. Trekking food and drinks: Dry food (eight-treasure porridge, compressed biscuits, Snickers) because it takes a whole day to get in Drinks: Mineral water, cola (our guide asked us to bring), and sports drinks 5. Please, everyone must bring a trash bag to carry out all your trash, let's all take care of such beautiful scenery together.
