Day Before departure

Safety briefing in Cape Town. This is where we will check all your polar clothing and prepare you for your flight south.

Day one

The flight to Antarctica is 5hrs, crossing the thousands of icebergs spread over the southern ocean. Halfway through the flight we cross into the polar circle and into 24hrs continuous daylight.

Landing on the specialist ice runway, you will be surrounded by the Wolf’s Fang range, a true spectacle of the continent. We spend the afternoon amongst kilometre-high monoliths of rock, before connecting to our igloo camp.

Day Two

Ben will draw on his polar experience to teach you how to survive and even be comfortable in Antarctica. Our first adventure begins atthe base of a stunning ‘nunatak’ mountain. With crampons on your feet and an ice-axes in your hands, we will scale a vertical wall of ice and ‘top out’ on the summit.

returning from the summit, you will be collected by a fleet of Arctic truck 6x6 vehicles and discover just how capable these machines are in this environment. learn to drive on incredible routes over seemingly impossible terrain!

Day three

Tonight we camp out! To prepare you, Ben will help you pack your sled and ensure you are ready for one of the most remote campsites on earth. We will cross country ski (or walk) into the mountains, passing huge cliff faces, wind scoops and iridescent blue ice. As you zip the door of your tent closed, you will experience what it is like to be a true explorer.

Day Four

We delve into the ice tunnels and caves near our camp, where the white landscape betrays nothing of the extraordinary environment just beneath the surface. created by melt water, the caves extend for hundreds of metres and are a magical place to explore. Later that day, we climb across a 200ft rock face that overlooks the ice waves. While the walk is is not technically difficult, it might get the adrenaline pumping, and will prove the perfect way to complete this unique experience.
