Pioneering Luxury In Antarctica
Our signature 8-day journey brings you the very best of Antarctica - a visit to an Emperor Penguin colony of over 28,000 birds and a flight to the lowest point on Earth - the Geographic South Pole. Flying in by private jet or Airbus and with only 12 guests on each departure,we offer a bespoke service that is as luxurious as it is remarkable.
Established 17 years ago by record-breaking polar explorers, White Desert offers you an environmentally-conscious choice that always prioritises the sensitive environment and incredible animals that surround us.
Whichaway
On the edge of the Great White Continent lies the Schirmacher Oasis, an ice-free area that contains over 100 freshwater lakes. This is the site of our unique camp - Whichaway. Whichaway consists of a collection of hi-tech polar domes set on the shores of a frozen lake and encircled by a magnifi- cent 60-metre (200-foot) icefall. It is warm and comfortable, and the per- fect home base for daily activities or when you want to just simply relax. It offers the perfect balance between polar functionality and luxury camp comfort. Our camp consists of six heated and state-of-the-art bedroom pods that are designed for two guests to enjoy in comfort. At just over 6m (20ft) in diameter, they are spacious with a writing desk, wash area and toilet
Emperor Penguin Colony
Your visit to the penguins begins with a 2.5 hour flight to Atka Bay. Here you’ll see over 14,000 breeding pairs and their newly-hatched chicks, a spectacle full of noise and energy that is a favourite with wildlife watchers and photographers. Mindful of our responsibility to the Antarctic environ- ment and of IAATO guidelines, we keep at least 5m (16.4ft) from the pen- guins while taking in all the sights and sounds of this rare wildlife spectacle, which remains one of the greatest thrills on Earth!
The Geographic South Pole
At the heart the Great White Continent lies the South Pole, one of only two stationary points on this rotating Earth! At exactly 90 degrees of latitude, you can walk around the world in only a few paces and marvel at a place where there is no more east, south or west – the only direction is north! The American Amundsen-Scott research station is the backdrop to this most exceptional place, whose discovery ranks as one of the greatest feats of human The Amundsen-Scott exploration ever known.
