JOURNEY, CHALLENGES AND RISKS

It's not easy to arrive to this point. If you decide to go there you would pass for many challeges and it would be so daring.

The only option to arrive there would be to take a rivate ship from Chile or New Zeland and sail the ocean for over 15 days to arrive there.

The environment is a bit dangerous, there's only water. As there's no earth around there could be such big waves and strong wind. If you go there yo won't see any sea animal or bird, that is because ther's no food for them.

If you decide to go there there are some risks that you sholud know: If you fall from the ships you could die from hipothermia. Another would be that if it happens somehting to you, no one colud help you. And the last one could be that you have to be careful with the environment.

FUTURE EXPLORATION
