White Desert Echo Camp
What a world we live in—one where there are multiple luxury camping sites in the Antarctic interior, depending on which part of the White Continent you want to visit. White Desert Echo continues to attract royalty and captains of industry with its audacious, otherworldly offering: heated, futuristic sleep pods designed to mimic space stations, sitting directly on a sheet of ancient, miles-thick blue ice. The lodging is fully collapsible and removed each season, but you wouldn’t think it given the cushy king-size beds and ensuite showers (an amenity that sets this camp apart). Floor-to-ceiling windows let in unbelievable views of East Antarctica’s peaks and ice fields; blackout blinds shield you at night from the midnight sun. By day, guests are “the hero of their own story,” says White Desert CEO Patrick Woodhead—ice climbing, cross-country skiing, ziplining, exploring ice caves, all the while becoming ambassadors of Antarctica. It is “the absolute peak of remote luxury,” says Clifford.
