Traveller note: Most hotlines listed here require a local Antarctica phone number or SIM card. If calling from abroad, you may need to dial your country's international exit code followed by the Antarctica country code, and some free-call numbers may not connect internationally. When in doubt, ask your hotel or the local emergency number.
