Vernadsky Research Base, located in Antarctica, is a functioning research station and not a typical tourist destination. Visits are extremely limited and require special permits and arrangements, typically as part of an organized tour focusing on Antarctic exploration and scientific research. Accessibility is very challenging due to the remote location and harsh climate; visitors should expect high costs associated with travel, including transportation via ship or specialized aircraft. The visiting season is restricted to the Antarctic summer (November to March). Guided tours are essential, and solo visits are not permitted. A visit could last from a few hours to a full day, depending on the tour itinerary. Expect to see scientific demonstrations and learn about the research conducted at the base.
