Antarctica
The perfect place to hear the creak of ice, to watch the penguins or freeze totally. Breathing would hurt, words would sound differently and you would soon discover that peace was invented here. In Antarctica. Antarctica is a truly unspoiled region of the world. The mysterious White Continent, with its multicolored ice cover, glistening glaciers and mountains, covered with snow caps, offers visitors unparalleled views and opportunity to watch vast numbers of penguins, whales, seals and sea birds that gather in the rich waters along the coast. During winter months, when there is no sun or light, temperatures reach minus 65 degrees. "The maximum minimum" ever recorded was of -85 degrees. If searching for an isolated, sedentary holiday, this is one of the most appropriate places in the world. On the other hand, however, tourism has developed well enough in certain areas due to a not very high request, yet constant one. You can go on a cruise with an "ice breaker" and you can watch colonies of penguins in specially designated spaces. And if you're strong enough, you can sleep for a night or two in an igloo specially designed for excentric tourists.
