Antarctica has the distinction of being the most peaceful place on Earth. No wars have ever been fought on Antarctica. No sovereign country rules it. Tourists and scientists don't need a passport, a visa, or anyone's permission to visit. This "Zone of Peace" is dedicated to science, with a multinational treaty that prohibits mining or acting on land claims.

Ignore all the stupid responses, I thought that was a very cool question ... after you asked it I was so interested in the answer that I had to go look it up myself!

Technically no, becuase no country has recognized claims to Antarctica. But because you usually travel throguh other countries - New Zealnd, Australia, South Africa, or Argentina, to get there, you do. But for the transit countries, not Antarctica.

Antarctica isn't OFFICIALLY governed by any country so a visa shouldn't be needed.

Yes the penquins will ask to see your visa and passport as well as your current photo ID. They are very particular about who they let in.

Yes, you would have to pass through other countries just to get there. Huh !
