What are the most spectacular roads in the Antarctica?

Driving the most spectacular roads of Antarctica is not easy. In fact, it is nearly impossible since there are no roads! With its harsh environment, the only way to explore the continent is with specialized off-road vehicles.

If you dare to travel there, you'll find the treacherous South Pole Traverse, also known as the McMurdo-South Pole Highway, the world's southernmost road. Inaugurated in late 2002, the construction was budgeted at a cost of US$350 million. This road runs for 1,600 kilometers (995 miles) connecting the McMurdo Station to the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station.
