Overview

The White Desert & Antarctica

Each year we have the privilege of bringing fewer than 300 guests from Cape Town to the Seventh Continent. We want people to experience this breath-taking place in luxury and to hopefully go home changed in the most positive of ways.

With rare access to the interior of Antarctica and the support of our extraordinary guides, you will encounter a pristine glacial landscape of immeasurable splendour.
Here icebergs tower like carved cathedrals, wildlife thrives in the harshest of conditions, glistening ice sheets stretch to the skyline and shards of rock pierce through pristine snowfields. The end of the world is unimaginably beautiful.
The Continent has had a deep and lasting impact on all of us and we look forward to sharing it with you.

African Travel Crew - Antartic Adventure

Sustainability in our Expeditions to Antarctica

We support Sir David Attenborough’s stance on the transformative power of first-hand travel/knowledge: “No one will protect what they don’t care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced”.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

SAF – We are the first
operator in Antarctica to use
Sustainable Aviation Fuel in
our fleet. We aim
to replace all fuel used in
Antarctica to SAF over a 3-5
year period.

Carbon Neutral

Carbon neutral – White
Desert was the first aviation
operator in Antarctica to be
entirely Carbon Neutral, a
status the company has held
since 2007. Your entire trip
with us is fully offset.

Waste Management

Waste management – We minimise waste by repackaging all consumables before bringing them to Antarctica. At season’s end, all solid waste is shipped back to South Africa for recycling or responsible disposal.

The Journey to Antarctica

The journey to the Continent is aboard one of our aircraft; a ‘heavy’ such as an Airbus A340 or private jet. Travelling in business class, you will join a select group of like-minded explorers journeying across the mighty Southern Ocean. During the 5.5 hour flight, we cross the Polar Circle and soar over thousands of icebergs and pass into 24 hours of continuous sunshine. Destination: Wolf’s Fang Runway.

Wolf’s Fang is one of the only privately managed blue ice runways in the world. The three-kilometre stretch stands in the shadow of one of the continent’s most iconic mountains - named Ulvetanna or ‘Wolf’s Fang’ by the early Norwegian explorers. It stands like a primeval sentinel surrounded by staggering spires of rock that pierce the icebound landscape. On arrival, that first glacial breath charges through your body with lightning speed. Underfoot the ice crackles – sound heightened by the overwhelming sense of stillness. In every direction the timeless landscape envelops you and the magnitude of where you are becomes a visceral reality.

Wolf 's Fang Runway

Your Time on the ice

After your arrival (and depending on the weather on ice) you will spend approx. 3 hours on the continent. We have a couple of unique act ivities to share; our qualified mountain guides will lead you into an ice cave nearby and take you on a gentle hike to a mountain where we will host a champagne picnic with views of the Wolf’s Fang range. For the more daring, you can abseil down the side before crossing the glacial ice back to the Snow Lounge for a final drink befor e you board your return flight to Cape Town.

A True Reflection

Neil, from African Travel Crew, produced a special, nuanced documentary for Ladismith, which reflected our agricultural, community and Klein Karoo magic. Locals have often spoken about how touched and proud they felt watching this video. New residents were attracted to our district by the ATC videos and once settled, mentioned how truly it reflects their experience of living here.

A beautiful way of capturing the essence of life

Neil has such a uniquely beautiful way of capturing the essence of life. It was such a privilege for Touwsrivier to have a short documentary film made by him, he portrayed the town and it’s people with much love, respect and dignity.
