A small, beige dome-shaped structure sits on rocky terrain next to icy formations under a bright blue sky, with snow-capped mountains in the background.
A modern, circular living room featuring a blue tufted ottoman in the centre, surrounded by a cozy grey sofa, red armchair, and a patterned rug. Large windows provide a view of the landscape outside. A small desk with a chair is positioned against one wall, and soft cushions and throws add warmth to the space.

Design

Minimally yet elegantly designed with plenty of cozy blankets to wrap up in, the sleeping pods are twenty meters wide, providing a wealth of space for two to share and can also be partitioned for the solo traveler. With a wash area, separate toilet and writing desk, they offer the utmost comfort and space. Made of high-quality fiberglass to keep wind noise at a minimum, the heated domes are a tranquil retreat from the wild, barren landscape outside.

Dining

Three course meals are prepared by chef Justine, and you will be treated to many delicious dishes, with the opportunity to try unusual and novel flavors, enhanced by the atmosphere of the beautiful communal dining pod. Sip one of the truly unique cocktails from the Snow Bar, made with the purest thousand-year-old ice, while relaxing on the observation deck after a day spent spotting emperor penguins or ice climbing.

Sustainability

All waste is removed from the site and responsibly disposed of in South Africa, contributing to minimal environmental impact and offsetting carbon neutrality. The supply chain is also environmentally conscious. Partnered with Arctica Solar, it ensures as much electricity is powered by renewable sources, to minimize fossil fuel usage.

Why we love it

After a day of adventure in the polar desert and following in the footsteps of the few explorers who have gone before you, this camp feels intimate, echoing the pioneering spirit of the early Victorian travelers. We especially love the library pod, stocked with a range of fascinating literature, allowing you to read about what you’ve come across in the day or tales of those first explorers to visit this stark continent.
