Three Unique Outposts

Our Camps

Polar Comfort

In one of the most remote landscapes, White Desert’s luxury camps offer an extraordinary contrast: beautifully engineered, heated pods that deliver exceptional comfort and considered detail in the heart of Antarctica’s wilderness. Built to have a minimal impact on the Continent, each camp operates to the highest environmental standards.

Whichaway Camp

Our original camp, newly reimagined. Rare exposed rock and freshwater lakes — this is a side of Antarctica seldom seen.

[ 71°32'47" S, 8°50'11" E ]

Echo Base

Inspired by astronauts, used by explorers. As close as you can get to leaving Earth without stepping off the planet.

[ 71º 31’ 37” S, 8º 51’ 20” E ]

Explorer Camp

Polar adventure meets chalet-style. True to our expeditionary roots, a rustic and warm base for the South Pole journey.
