In addition, several
other organizations plan to arrange/conduct or support tourism
activities in the Antarctic during the 1999-2000 season. Although
some of these organizations are not U.S. based, American citizens are
most likely involved in their planned activities and for this reason are
reported here.

Cruises of Hamburg, Germany, will operate two vessels in the Antarctic

International (ANI), a Canadian company with an office in Beaconfield,
England, plans several 11-17-day excursions to the interior of the
Antarctic continent. Travel from Punta Arenas, Chile, to
Adventure Network's Patriot Hills base camp (80°20'S, 81°20'W) is
via a South African chartered C-130 cargo/passenger aircraft.

mid-January 2000 using two chartered Twin Otters and their own Cessna
C-A185F aircraft.
