New Vehicles introduced

The specially adapted 4x4s used last year during the South Pole Race and soon to be featured in a major BBC documentary on UK television, are going to be available to White Desert clients this coming season. The vehicles, owned by our logistical partner, TAC, will mean we can now access some stunning new areas in Antarctica that until now have been too difficult to reach. 

In addition to all the other activities whilst clients are at camp, we will now offer day trips to areas such as the formidable ice barrier (see images), or the amazing frozen lake system in the nearby mountains. We’ll even use them to visit the nearby Russian base to have a sauna!

Dunhill Store Launch Party

In June, White Desert launched the new dunhill experience at the luxury good’s flagship store in Jermyn Street, London. With TV presenter and fellow explorer, Ben Fogle starting the night off by introducing Patrick Woodhead, over 200 guests came to hear more about what the ten day experience was all about. 

Amongst penguin ice sculptures, a replica camp from the days of Shackleton and Scott, and custom-designed dunhill merchandise frozen in great blocks of ice, the guests learnt all about this new experience over a few glasses of G.H.Mumm champagne. 

Stephane Husson joins the White Desert team!

We are delighted to announce that Stephane will be guiding at our camp this coming season. Stephane is one of the best ice climbers in the World and has over 50 first ascents to his name. A high mountain guide from the famous climbing village of Chamonix in the French Alps, Stephane brings a whole raft of new skills to the experience. We can’t wait to see him down on the ice!
