The cutest explorers! Siblings officially become the youngest Maltese citizens to travel to Antarctica
An adventure like no other!

Emma Galea

Earlier this week, it was reported that two young Maltese siblings, Jerome and Valentina, might have possibly been the youngest Maltese citizens to ever travel down to Antarctica.

This is now no longer a possibility and has instead been made official by ‘The Malta records’ organisation.

This adventure took place when on the 27th December, 2023 Jerome (three years, 11 months, 12 days) and Valentina (two years, five months, three days) landed in the far away land that is Antarctica with their parents.

They even got the opportunity to ring in new year in a way like no other by celebrating in one of the coldest places on earth.

We’re sure that there are more adventures across the world awaiting Jerome and Valentina as they have already travelled to six continents with their travel loving parents!
