How it works

  1. Consultation

    An adventure to Antarctica starts with a call. We map the dates, the camp and the flights before anything is booked.

  2. Planning

    Medical forms, kit list, insurance. We send the list and check it twice before departure.

  3. Cape Town

    One night in Cape Town, a kit check, and the weather briefing for the ice runway.

  4. The flight

    Five hours ten minutes on a private jet to a runway of blue ice at 71°S.

  5. On the ice

    Heated pods, running water, and a guide for every two guests.
