Background

• An adventure of a lifetime
• Wholly flexible program of activities
• No previous experience required

Experience an immense world of stunning beauty in the heart of Antarctica from the comfort of a specially built camp located on the Union glacier. Choose from gentle walks across waves of blue-ice, excursions in a specially-adapted 4x4 van, wandering through the Elephant Head valley with its frozen ice pools and unusual rock formations, exploring ancient rock terraces at the ‘beach’, picnicking in hidden canyons, gazing out from the summit of Charles Peak over the broad expanse of Union Glacier and many many more. If you’re looking for excitement, choose from a range of adrenaline-charged activities from ice climbing in ancient crevasses and cross country skiing to more technical climbs or even a mini-overnight expedition.

In camp there are Antarctic skills sessions and talks. Learn about polar navigation and communications or challenge yourself on a GPS course. Our experienced guides have a wealth of knowledge and visiting scientists often give talks on their latest Antarctic research. Or, simply relax in our heated multi-purpose tent with a book or DVD from our library.
The highlight of this experience is a spectacular sightseeing flight along the spine of the Ellsworth Mountains, giving you a bird’s-eye view over the mountains and rocky exposed nunataks that peek out from the permanent ice sheet below.
On this trip you spend six nights on Antarctica where you stay in the comfortable Union Glacier Camp. Here you enjoy delicious hearty meals, fresh-baked pastries and delectable desserts, prepared by international chefs.
