Dates & Rates

White Desert will be operating 5 adventures in 2011 with a maximum of only 12 clients on each of the main trips.

The itinerary for the first two adventures is identical, with visits to the Emperor colony and time amongst the unexplored mountains nearer to camp.

The 3rd and 4th adventure combines seeing the Emperor penguins with a flight to the lowest point on Earth – the South Pole.

We will also be operating the “Overnighter” for those more pressed for time, involving two days and one night spent at the Guesthouse in Antarctica, and now there is even the option of a day trip.

*Please remember that all Antarctic travel is governed by weather and available logistics. Changes to the schedule do happen.
