But I think its possible to get a much cheaper price if you can get a small group together. Earlier in 2004 they were advertising on their Web site a weekend in Antarctica ex-Cape Town for USD$5,600 per person--although it appears they needed a minimum of eight people to run the trip at that price, and they told me they never got enough people for it to go ahead.

Anyway I'd be very interested in what the current situation is? And potentially in joining any such group especially if we could get it down to that sort of price.
*sigh*. I underestimated the size of Cape Town and the number of things to do!

I am not sure if they are related to the trips that also leave from South America now... they have vaguely similar names?

In any case, such a trip appears to be outside my budget for the next several years!
