White Desert
ANTARCTICA : THE SEVENTH CONTINENT THE WHITE DESERT
It is landscape unlike anywhere else on the planet. So rarely visited, yet utterly beautiful.
White Desert flies you into the interior of Antarctica in luxury and comfort. After a five-hour flight across the Southern Ocean, you are transported to our beautifully designed and ecological camp set in one of the last great wildernesses on earth (see map).
We are now offering a range of adventures from 8-day safaris to visit the Emperor Penguins, to shorter trips designed to cater for those with tighter schedules. There is now even a day trip to Antarctica!
With genuine polar explorers as your guides, you will see, touch and experience a place that is unlike anything on earth.
Just ask any of our previous clients to get a better feel for what it is really like.
With mild summer temperatures, you only need to be in a normal physical condition to join us. Then, once in Antarctica - what happens is up to you. The place is as big as your imagination.
Come with us on an unforgettable journey.
Come explore...
