Not really sure what you're asking here. If you want to get to Antarctica relatively cheaply or, for example, by sail I've got one or two contacts which might interest you. If you're trying to bring a motorbike there, I can't say I'm interested in helping make that possible.
I'm away from home (and contacts lists) for another week or so, but will pay attention to any clarification you offer here.
best,
Mark

Thanks for replies.
Planned program is to be there and back together with the bike and flag within a month, not to ride there.
Inf. needed is how to get there,or get in touch with a recommended captain, and where to apply and how for any permission and paperwork if may be needed.
My Turkish friend Namık is in La Paloma currently and will ride to Buenos a few days later.
All the best..

Mehmet - you could contact Steph Jeavons - a British girl currently in Mexico - who is riding her Honda CRF 250L through all seven continents.
Steph did the Antarctica section back in February this year (2015), and arranged transport to that southermost continent on a private sail-boat from Ushuaia.
Her motorcycle was returned to Puerto Williams (Chile) on-board a Russian Ice Breaker.
She may be able to help .. and can be contacted via her blog: One Steph Beyond
Hope helps. Big selams...
Keith

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
