I've been to every other continent. This is the last one left, but it's difficult to find flights to it.

Also, how can I tell my mum to stop worrying about the frost bite she claims I will get if I visit such a place?

I suggest u borrow my humpback whale. His name is Rodney, but I reffer to him as Rod. Rod is a good tempered whale. You can bash him all you want, he wont say a word. Hell jus make funny noises. ANyways, what you shud do is tie your boat to his tale and he will take you there.
He is heading there anyways to mate with his chick. I suggest you clear the area when the mating starts, it aint pritty...LOL...

You can try this website to book a flight to Antarctica. http://travel.travelocity.com/flights/ResolveAirportAction.do?resolveValidator=on&SEQ=11589836599318222006
If that doesn’t work, as an alternative you could hitch a ride with a pack of Canadian Geese. I hear that once in a blue moon they take a flight to Antarctica. Beware, though, as they can be aggressive!…The Canadian Goose is a common sight around the Horseshoe Lake area. I suggest going there and asking the king of the pack when their next flight to Antartica is due.

As for the frostbite issue. Explain to your mother that you will take the following precautions so that you will not get frostbite. She will then stop worrying about it.

Wear several layers of light, loose clothing that will trap air, yet provide adequate ventilation. This is better protection than one bulky or heavy covering. Best fabrics for the cold are wool, polyester substitutes and water-repellent materials (not waterproof, which holds in perspiration). Down coats and vests are warm; however, if down gets wet it is not an effectively warm fabric.
Coverings for the head and neck are important. Hats, hoods, scarves, earmuffs and facemasks are good protection.
Protect your feet and toes. Wear two pairs of socks - wool is best, or cotton socks with a pair of wool on top. Wear well-fitted boots that are high enough to cover the ankles.
Hand coverings are vital. Mittens are warmer than gloves, but may limit what you can do with your fingers. Wear lightweight gloves under mittens so you'll still have protection if you need to take off your mittens to use your fingers.
Be sure your clothing and boots are not tight. A decrease in blood flow makes it harder to keep the body parts warm and increases the risk of frostbite.
When in frostbite-causing conditions, dress appropriately, stay near adequate shelter, avoid alcohol and tobacco, and avoid remaining in the same position for long periods.
