Leisurely

For an immersive polar experience, little beats spending the night camping out in the Antarctic wilderness. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allows you to soak up the sounds of the shifting ice and polar wildlife, along with witnessing the spectacular beauty of the Antarctic night. Camping trips take place during the Austral summer, with almost 24-hours of daylight producing an extended sunset and sunrise, creating an ever-changing spectacular palette of colours. After a hearty dinner (no food is allowed ashore), campers head out to the campsite to settle down into breathable waterproof and windproof bivouac sleeping bags, to enjoy the incredible beauty of an icy Antarctic night.
