Antarctica, the frozen continent, boasts several breathtaking destinations for tourists: Deception Island has a volcano and hot springs; King George Island, one of the few actually populated areas, has penguins; and McMurdo Station lists chapels as one of its attractions. The famously inaccessible continent can be reached by boat (which carries its own perils) or plane.
