Would you be up for an 'Antarctic Sabbatical'?

Antarctica is a fairly mysterious place...

The last continent on Earth to be discovered in 1820, it's the fifth largest mass of land on the planet.

But besides scientists and rugged pioneer explorers, hardly anyone has seen it...

While it may be on many people's wish-lists, the cost and logistics of getting there means it never usually becomes a realistic place to visit.

But Airbnb is determined to change that.

The company has teamed up with the Ocean Conservancy to offer five people a free month-long trip to Antarctica.

Dubbed the 'Antarctic Sabbatical', all of the lucky winners travel expenses, food and accommodation will be paid for during the trip.

Plus they'll get to join Kirstie Jones-Williams, an Antarctic Scientist, for a scientific research mission.

The winners will get to explore the earth's most southern continent and collect snow samples to assist with a study into how microplastics have made their way to the interior of Antarctica.

Those successful also get to visit the South Pole, the place where you can walk around the globe in just a few steps.

While they'll also receive immersion training in Punta Arenas, Chile, with courses on glaciology and field sampling, your flight to Antarctica and the scientific mission.
