No.7: [Null] Antarctica
Uninhabited! No Bloggers
Antarctica, the southernmost continent and site of the South Pole, is a virtually uninhabited, ice-covered landmass so there no blogger, let alone highest paid bloggers; unless the ones on vacation. Most cruises to the continent visit the Antarctic Peninsula, which stretches toward South America. It’s known for the Lemaire Channel and Paradise Harbor, striking, iceberg-flanked passageways, and Port Lockroy, a former British research station turned museum. The peninsula’s isolated terrain also shelters rich wildlife, including many penguins.
