>It's not practical for the lay person
Yes, but possible, but for some reason, not allowed.
>As a Norwegian you should know this.
Yes, I know that you need big and capable boat to go to dangerous waters. The fuck are you even talking about? There is more than enough stories of people (with good enough ships) going there only to be chased away
>People don't have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on buying the ship. Or even the money to rent one.
What do you think building or buying a ship actually cost? Even the top of the line research vesel does not cost "hundreds of millions of dollars". The norwegians I mentioned went in a fucking sailboat they modified themselves.

>Even if you managed to sail a yacht there, you'll never reach the actual coast due to year round sea ice and ice shelves.
You talk about specialized ships, yet belive a yacht is somehow peak shipping? Do you not have oceans in Oceania?
>At best you can sail the town of the stars on the Antarctic Peninsula
It is posible to go ashore with the most dingy fucking boats as long as you traverse the shitty waters on the way there. They will shoot at you as soon as you set foot anywhere except the designated zones.
