Many are that dream about visiting the desolate and freezing continent of Antarctica one day but not many get to see that wish come true. However, these two young Maltese siblings have achieved that dream at a very young age.

Jerome at three years, 11 months, 12 days and Valentina at two years, five months, three days, have both possibly become the youngest Maltese citizens ever to visit Antarctica.  

Their parents, Marieta and Jeanpaul travel all across the world with their young children and document it all on their Instagram blog ‘The Voyagers’.

This time round it was time to make one of their biggest dreams come true and travel to the remote continent of Antarctica.

At such a young age, this was already the sixth continent that Jerome and Valentina have visited.

The family got to celebrate the New Year in style as they rung in 2024 during this once in a lifetime trip.

“Visiting Antarctica with kids can be a powerful family vacation full of educational adventures. It goes a long way to confirm that travel is the best education that any loving parent should give to their children”, Marieta and Jeanpaul expressed on Instagram.

An unforgettable experience!
