Description
Join us for the greatest experience of your life: a 13-day ski touring trip in Antarctica.
Starting from Ushuaia, the most southern town in the world, we will navigate the South Pacific, passing Cape Horn and crossing the Drake Passage.
Antarctica is a dreamy destination. This is your chance to actually be a part of an incredible expedition below the Arctic Circle.
During this trip, a ship will be our warm and confortable base camp. The crew is a group of experienced people used to navigate in these latitudes.
Each day, we will explore incredible spots of the Antarctic Peninsula and navigate through fjords and icebergs. There will be a lot of ski touring, of course! We will also have conferences about geological and biological topics.
This experience will change the way you perceive the world. Being in the Antarctic Peninsula requires being humble and respectful. Besides, you will feel the immensity of nature and the silence of this ice paradise.
In addition, you will enjoy watching leopard seals, humpback whales, killer whales, seals, and different kind of penguins. In fact, seeing so many wonderful things will make you conscious of how complex the ecosystem around us is.
You can find a complete program below for further details about this trip. However, the program is subject to changes depending on weather, ice or local conditions.
Please get in touch with us if you want to have the skiing experience of your life. It will be our pleasure to bring you there and guide you in the fantastic Antarctica environment.
