From Antarctic Expeditions to South American Secrets

With two decades of luxury polar exploration expertise, White Desert once again leads the way in discovery. From the revitalized Whichaway Camp in Antarctica to its first beyond-the-pole luxury journey—the Dr. Jones Collection in South America—the brand continues to expand the narrative of luxury adventure, weaving together nature's grandeur, the romance of travel, and sustainable principles into awe-inspiring journeys. At the world's end, time flows to the rhythm of cracking ice; in uncharted realms, profound connections between humanity and nature are rekindled. Antarctic Expedition – The Revitalized Whichaway Camp Nestled by the freshwater lake of Schirmacher Oasis, Whichaway Camp offers travelers a haven of comfort and luxury in the heart of Antarctica. Now revitalized, each private pod features a new ensuite shower and a panoramic glass solarium, enhancing both privacy and immersive views. Guests can admire the breathtaking interplay of icefalls and lakes through the windows, savoring the allure of Earth's southernmost reaches from the warmth of their pods. The camp comprises six private pods, accommodating up to 12 guests. Here, visitors indulge in gourmet meals prepared by a private chef, unwind in the sauna, or practice meditation and yoga beneath the transparent dome. From visiting the South Pole and ice climbing to hiking around snowy oases and emperor penguin encounters, Whichaway Camp crafts bespoke polar memories for every adventurer. Antarctica reveals different facets with the seasons: the start of a new season offers rare glimpses of emperor penguin chicks taking their first steps and unique opportunities to explore blue ice caves. By late January to early February, glacial meltwater carves serpentine blue rivers, painting a dreamlike polar landscape. Upholding its commitment to preserving Antarctica's pristine ecosystem, White Desert has announced a 1% environmental levy on all journeys. Last year, its dedicated fund allocated $250,000 to support Antarctic climate research and Cape Town’s blue carbon ecosystem restoration. Choosing White Desert means contributing to safeguarding extraordinary environments, ensuring polar exploration walks hand in hand with sustainability.
