This New Space-inspired Camp in Antarctica Has Luxury Glass-enclosed Pods and Thrilling Excursions — and We Were Among the First to Visit

It offers an alternative way to experience Antarctica.

I was surrounded by endless white terrain, interrupted only by spires of granite protruding from the ground. These interruptions in the near-flawless horizon were nunataks — the ridges of mountains that emerged from an ice field or glacier in Antarctica . I had arduously climbed one, dodging the wind-carved dens of angry storm petrels and staying upright in 25-knot gusts that came from seemingly every direction. But the view from this summit made the journey worth it.

My eyes followed my mountaineering guide’s pointed finger to what looked like a collection of boulders below us. I quickly realized the smooth, uniform shapes could be none other than what I traveled all the way across the world to find: Echo camp , the newest addition to the ultra-luxe White Desert family.

White Desert is a tour operator with a collection of modular, removable luxury camps developed by a husband and wife duo of polar explorers, Patrick and Robyn Woodhead. It all started in 2005 with their flagship camp: Whichaway . It's an environmentally sustainable camp of pod accommodations located at the Schirmacher Oasis, an ice-free plateau in East Antarctica.

Most of Antarctica's visitors travel by cruise ships that bring them to the continent's periphery. But White Desert offers an alternative way to experience Antarctica that takes travelers deeper into the continent. The highly specialized interior expeditions require logistical know-how and near-professional levels of athletic aptitude. (For reference, climbing a nunatak would be a gentle hike anywhere else, but it's akin to a Spartan race in Antarctica due to the weather conditions.)

My journey was to see the evolution of White Desert — from its very first Whichaway camp to the newest space-inspired Echo camp. But, of course, getting there was no easy task.

While most travelers depart from South America, White Desert’s guests first congregate in Cape Town, South Africa, to catch a five-hour chartered flight (either via Gulfstream G550 or Airbus A340) to Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. (Queen Maud Land, located in eastern Antarctica, is a territory of Norway.) From here, they take a private jet to Wolf's Fang Runway — a White Desert-operated runway that is the continent's first private jet runway.

I chose to streamline my travels by taking United Airlines’ new direct Newark to Cape Town route. Their signature Polaris class allowed me to stay on top of my sleep schedule: I knew Antarctica would require that I was well rested.

Once in Cape Town, White Desert’s team joined me at my hotel, Ellerman House , to help pack my gear, ensuring I had everything they instructed me to bring to survive the subzero temperatures and 24-hour sunlight. It was followed by a safety briefing about all the ways Antarctica could kill us and how we should not harass penguins.

It was during this briefing that my group learned our departure would be slightly delayed due to the weather. It was our first lesson that Antarctica was entirely in control — we would need to respect it or succumb to it.

When go-time was confirmed the next day, a chauffeur brought me to my fellow travelers at Cape Town International Airport’s ExecuJet lounge. The staff escorted us through security and customs and onto the Airbus. We sipped Champagne with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, knowing Antarctica’s volatile and violent weather could turn us around at any moment. But the uncertainty made it that much more thrilling.

When I took my first step off the plane and onto Antarctica, I felt like Neil Armstrong — or what I imagined he felt like when he first stepped on the moon. I knew there was no going back to the person I was before this adventure.

It was nearly midnight by the time a World War II-era Basler plane delivered us to Whichaway camp. Though, the sunlight gave no indication of time.

We warmed up in the communal pods, which had an old-world explorer feel and were outfitted with soft couches, a full library of books on polar adventure, and a dining room. We retired to our own cozy sleeping pods — there are six pods at this campsite. I found it hard to believe the whole site could be removed at any moment, but the porta-potty-like bathroom setup confirmed that nothing about this camp was inherently permanent. 

The next morning, after a full English breakfast, we geared up for a five-hour hike to a nearby blue ice cave. As soon as we picked out our helmets and crampons, Vila, the Icelandic camp manager, informed us that plans had changed: We were taking a two-and-a-half-hour flight to Atka Bay to visit an emperor penguin colony since the weather on the coast was suitable and we needed to take advantage of it.

We took a short hike across the neighboring frozen lake where we waited for a plane that never showed up. In the hour since our new plans were laid, the wind had picked up and the Basler couldn't land. Back to the blue ice cave we went, with another humbling reminder of who was in charge.

The next few days were filled with ice climbing, glacier hikes, meals that could earn the continent its first Michelin stars, and sauna sessions. There were even presentations from staff — some are professional athletes — on their notable adventures. I was particularly captivated by the tale of Manu, a French guide who joined the expedition that recently discovered Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship , Endurance . (We all also befriended the resident south polar skua , Dickie.) Any anxiety I felt about being completely offline was replaced by the joy of being present and the fact that White Desert’s staff never allowed for unwanted downtime — even when the weather reshaped the schedule. 

Whichaway came to feel like home — a place where the highest levels of service were combined with the thrill of wilderness adventure. Being there nudged me beyond my comfort zone, forcing me to toughen up, look beyond my limits, and keep levity at the forefront. 

Despite Whichaway's comforts, I was eager to see Echo camp. After all, it was inspired by American astronaut Buzz Aldrin's remark about Antarctica being the closest thing to outer space he had encountered on Earth.   

Echo is a short drive from Wolf’s Fang Runway but Patrick Woodhead, ever the adventurer, led us over a nunatak instead.

Entering the gray pods was like walking onto the International Space Station. The interconnected spaces were filled with curios and geometric sculptures — the kind of trinkets a space traveler of the future might collect on their journey. The vibe was fitting, as White Desert promises Echo camp "feels like visiting a galaxy far away."

Every detail was sleek and clean, with floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the infinite white expanse upon which this camp was set. (The camp is on sleds and can be moved anytime.) Like Whichaway, Echo has six sleeping pods that can accommodate up to 12 guests.

While the pods at Whichaway embodied a more adventurous, chalet-chic feel, Echo’s architecture evoked the modern, luxurious spirit of White Desert. Still, the similarities between the two camps ran deep: The staff service, from bartenders to guides, was of equally high quality.

Waste from all of White Desert’s camps is removed at the end of the season. Water is a precious commodity, especially at Echo, where every drop is melted from ice. So, not surprisingly, the shower situation remains in a communal area. (Though, Echo had an incredible outdoor setup using one-way glass that offered privacy while also providing views of nunataks.)

For a weeklong trip that costs upwards of $80,000 per person, it's hard to imagine that travelers who spend that much are willing to put up with being offline, relinquishing control to the weather, and showering in a common area — or not showering at all. But a sanitized experience of Antarctica isn’t possible, and White Desert doesn’t aim to force that.

In fact, they capitalize on the way Antarctica challenges people, bringing out their best. They want guests to feel alive — to become reconnected to the sacred network of all earthly things by repeatedly experiencing the wonder of nature — while still being pampered and treated to sophisticated, yet unpretentious, meals. 

I got lucky on my final day: The weather was perfect for a visit to the Emperor penguins. (Emperor penguins are endemic to Antarctica, with roughly 61 rookeries, or breeding colonies, along the continent's coastline. The species is protected under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Endangered Species Act , as scientists expect their global population to drop by 26 percent by 2050.)

We spent a few hours on the fringe of a rookery. The puffy gray babies were curious enough about us that we had to keep backing away. I was filled with wonder when the afternoon commute of penguin parents took place: Adults slid on fish-filled bellies to make sure their chicks were fed with regurgitated food.

By the end of my stay in Antarctica, I didn't want to leave. The magnitude of the experience, and the fact that it was over, hit me as the plane glided into the nighttime sky — the first darkness I had experienced in a week. The twinkling of a single star signified a return to my normal life, my normal schedule, and my normal weather. Though everything would be the same when I got back, I knew that, down to the cellular level, Antarctica had transformed me.

Why Travel With Adventure Life

Recognized by.

Whichaway Camp

You will sleep under skies that never get dark and encounter some of the world’s greatest natural wonders .

With just six sleeping pods, Whichaway presents an opportunity to stay in a luxury camp in one of the remotest corners of the globe.

What we love about Whichaway Camp

• The camp is run to strict environmental guidelines, minimising impact on the environment whilst maximising comfort, style, and experience
• With space for just 12 guests, the camp is exclusive and truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure
• The six sleeping pods, all of which are heated and spacious with writing desks and private washing facilities
• The cosy lounge and dining room areas where guests can relax and enjoy excellent food from an award-winning chef
• The cocktails, made with 1,000-year-old ice cubes!

Unlike most expeditions to Antarctica, which focus on cruising the Antarctic Peninsula, this expedition takes you deep into the heart of the continent to the South Pole itself.

The overarching ethos at Whichaway Camp is ‘experience as much as you wish or as little as you like’ and the team puts high value on making this your adventure to take at whatever pace you wish – this means excursions range from gentle hikes to mighty abseils with ice-picnics, rock climbing, and kite skiing in between. A visit to the Atka Bay Emperor Penguin Colony, where over 10,000 penguins can be found, is not to be missed.

Accessible only by private charter flight from Cape Town, you will fly in a Gulfstream G550 Jet into the polar circle. The flying time from Cape Town is approximately five hours.

First Look at Echo, White Desert’s New Antarctic Camp

The exclusive new camp includes just six space-inspired sky pods.

By Irenie Forshaw

Intrepid travelers will be delighted to hear White Desert has unveiled its third camp in Antarctica, Echo, set to open this November. Those that are familiar with the eco-minded travel firm will know this isn’t your average glamping experience. The futuristic new camp will feature just six space-inspired sky pods with floor-to-ceiling windows revealing sweeping views of the icy plains and snow-capped mountains beyond.

As the only operator on the planet to fly guests to this remote corner of the world, the tours don’t come cheap, with a single ticket starting at $65,000 per person, while larger groups of 12 can book the entire camp for $780,000.

So what can guests expect from this unique travel experience? The tour kicks off in Cape Town where you’ll be whisked away onboard a private jet bound for Antarctica. On arrival at camp Echo, you’ll be taken straight to a private lounge to enjoy a martini shaken with 10,000-year-old ice.

Over the next five days, you’ll have the chance to explore the breathtaking surroundings with an action-packed itinerary that includes skiing, biking, ice-climbing, 4X4 truck driving and mountaineering (all with the help of knowledgeable on-hand guides). Perhaps most exhilarating of all is the visit to Atka Bay, where you’ll see the world’s largest penguin species, the Emperor penguin colony, up close.

After a long day exploring, you can while away spare time in the cozy lounge and dining area before returning to the accommodation. Each of the pods (which sleep two) at Echo have been crafted from composite fiberglass with interiors adorned with retro space-age design details, luxurious furnishings and original photographs taken from the International Space Station by former White Desert guest and retired astronaut, colonel Terry Virts.

“The inspiration behind the interiors at Echo comes from too many years of watching Star Wars as a kid,” says co-founder of White Desert, Patrick Woodhead. “The real difficulty was trying to get the interior designers to fuse together the retro feel of the Millennium Falcon with the luxury of a boutique retreat.”

Like White Desert’s existing sister camps (Whichaway and Wolf’s Fang ), Echo has been meticulously designed with no foundations so it can be packed away at any point without a trace. This commitment to preserving the precious landscape is at the heart of the company. Founded by polar-explorer duo Patrick and Robyn Woodhead back in 2005, the couple had a vision of enabling people other than scientists and explorers to experience the magic of Antarctica through their tours. Right from the start, they put in place a range of sustainability initiatives to minimize the impact of their operations on the surrounding environment.

These include mitigating emissions generated by flights and activities of guests through carbon offset schemes (the company has been carbon neutral certified since 2007), eliminating single-use plastics, using solar air heaters to warm the pods and using its planes to transport scientists to their Antarctic research stations.

Most recently, White Desert signed up to the Glasgow Declaration and, in line with the UK Net Zero target, is aiming to replace all Jet A-1 fuel it uses with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) over the next three to five years. Made from waste oils and fats, SAF has an 80% smaller carbon footprint when compared with existing jet fuels and produces significantly fewer soot particles which is especially important in Antarctica where high deposits of soot on the icy surfaces trigger the melting of snow.

Prices start from $780,000 for an exclusive group of 12 or $65,000 per person for a five-day tour and include return flights and transfers from Cape Town to Antarctica, all accommodation, food and beverages, and activities around camp.

South Pole Camp

When the great Polar explorers, Amundsen and Scott, arrived at the South Pole a century ago, there was only the sound of the wind and an endless expanse of white stretching in all directions. Today the South Pole is a crossroads for modern adventurers and polar science.

ALE is the only private operator with a seasonal camp at the South Pole. Our camp is situated about 0.6 miles (1 km) from the Geographic South Pole Marker and Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. A flagged route marks the path between our camp and the Pole.

Accommodations

Our tented camp at the South Pole is designed to provide as much comfort and security as possible given the extreme environment. ALE guests on overnight experiences will sleep in Arctic Oven tents. These heated, double-walled tents are designed to withstand Antarctic conditions and equipped with the same type of cots, mattresses, and pillows used at Union Glacier.

Be prepared for extreme conditions. Temperatures range from -31° to -13°F (-35° to -25°C) and the physiological altitude (how high it feels) is roughly 11,000 ft (3,300m). You may feel the effects of altitude, including shortness of breath and mild headache and it will be cold! One of our experienced medics accompanies all South Pole Flights and is ready to assist you should you have any issues with the cold or altitude. With the right clothing and equipment, you will quickly settle in and enjoy life at the bottom of the world.

Meals are prepared by one of our talented chefs and served in a large heated dining tent. This main tent is the center of activity for the camp is open to expedition groups and guests to enjoy together.

Toilet facilities are housed in a tent and are similar to those used at Union Glacier Camp. All waste is returned to Union Glacier Camp for proper disposal in Chile. No shower facilities are provided at South Pole Camp.

While camping at the South Pole you can participate in activities, mingle with teams who have skied to the Pole, or simply relax and take it all in. Choose from a variety of morning and afternoon activity sessions, with opportunities to visit the South Pole Markers, South Pole Visitor Center; lectures on Antarctic themes; and DVD presentations.

Communications

ALE’s South Pole Camp maintains daily communication with Union Glacier Camp using satellite phone and email communications. Guests can make outgoing satellite phone calls using our Iridium handsets. Pre-paid phone cards can be purchased at Union Glacier.

South Pole Camp is solar powered and limited charging facilities are available in the main tent for guests. Two types of outlets are available: USB and 120V A/C (North American Type A or B plugs). Ensure your batteries are fully charged prior to leaving Union Glacier, you have back-up batteries on hand, and you leave any unnecessary electronics behind. Please be courteous of your fellow travelers and do not leave electronics plugged in overnight.

The sun rises and sets only once a year at the South Pole and we will have 24-hour daylight throughout our stay. Our South Pole Camp operates on the same time as Punta Arenas, Chile and Union Glacier Camp, where our flights originate, however we may find ourselves keeping odd hours as we coordinate our activities with those of Amundsen-Scott Station (NZ-SP time UTC+13).

South Pole Camp Time

= GMT (UK time) -3 hours

= Eastern Standard Time (NYC time) +2 hours

= Pacific Standard Time (LA time) +5 hours.

South Pole ASMA #5

The South Pole has been designated as an Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA #5) to conserve the environmental, scientific and historical values of the area. A management plan directs all activities in the Area and specific guidelines apply to all non-governmental visits. We ask for your cooperation in respecting visitor guidelines during any time we may spend at the South Pole.
