Travelers on this Antarctic adventure will explore Antarctica by foot and by plane as they follow in the footsteps of the great explorers, Scott and Amundsen. They will soar over the largely unexplored Orvin mountain ranges in a turbo prop DC3 airplane, abseil into open crevasses, explore ice caves and get close to Adelie Penguins.
The luxury Antarctic adventure begins when travelers depart Cape Town aboard a private jet. They will watch night turn to day as they cross over the Antarctic Circle and into the land of the midnight sun. After landing on a specially prepared ice runway, travelers settle in at a luxury eco camp - the first of its kind in Antarctica. Adventurers will gaze out their tent window at incredible views over a massive ice cliff and down to the immense blue ice waves on the horizon.
The highlight of the luxury Antarctic adventure is Intrepid's expedition into the Orvin Range. Adventurers are given the chance to experience what an journey to the Antarctic once meant.
