Which country do I need a visa to go to Antarctica?

According to the International Antarctic Treaty adopted in June 196 1, it is stipulated that Antarctica is only used for peaceful purposes. So Antarctica does not belong to any country now. In theory, you don't need a visa to enter Antarctica directly.

China has no direct flights to the South Pole, so it can only fly to a third country to take an Antarctic cruise or plane to the South Pole. In other words, if you want to go to Antarctica at present, you must apply for a third country visa.

At present, the mainstream route of Antarctic tourism in China is to get an Argentine visa first, then fly to Buenos Aires, Argentina, then transfer to ushuaia, and then take an Antarctic cruise across the Drake Strait to reach the South Pole.
