Which countries do you need a visa or permission to visit Antarctica as an Iranian?
It is a complicated and difficult process to get a visa from most countries of the world as an Iranian citizen. Now I want to know that visas of which countries are needed for this reason and is there any visas only to get to Antarctica then immediately come back home without staying in the other countries like a transit visa?

well, you need no visa for Antarctica itself as it doesn't belong to any country :)
Of course as uncovery mentions you will need visa for the country you're staging from, and if you're visiting a base on Antarctica the country operating that base may want you to have a visa for that country as well.
As most countries from which you can reach Antarctica afaik have no direct flights from Iran, you're likely also going to need one or more transit visa for countries you're going to travel through along the way.
Make your travel plans, contact embassies or consulates, etc. etc.

For US citizens you will need to complete a DS-4131 ADVANCE NOTIFICATION FORM \u2013 TOURIST AND OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES IN THE ANTARCTIC TREATY AREA and then submit this to the Department of State's Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs. You will need to do this at least 3 months in advance of your intended visit.Which Countries Can't You Visit?
