If the heart of an adventurer beats within you, then Explorations is perfectly placed to assist. Ultra-remote luxury glamping operations, in Queen Maud Land especially, and in the Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica’s interior can be reached by chartered jet or ski plane. These allow you to experience some of the sense of awe felt by the continent’s early explorers while cosseting you in outlandish comfort. Here you can ski, climb, abseil, fat bike, trek, and go on snowmobile or kitesurfing expeditions, often a thousand or miles from the nearest other person, and celebrate your achievements with Michelin-quality cuisine and vintage champagne. Satellite camps and plane charters also afford access to the South Pole and the emperor penguin colonies of the Weddell Sea.

The most extraordinary adventures of all are the bespoke and often ‘world-first’ expeditions we design thanks to our unique partnership with Arctic Trucks. Deploying highly advanced logistics including the use of six-wheel-drive low-emission trucks, our private expeditions dovetail as resupply trips for science teams working deep in the field. As well as experiencing unimaginable landscapes, you’ll get the latest thinking from the polar experts and scientists we can arrange for you to meet. If you commission us to design such an expedition, anything from making a historic trans-Antarctica crossing to visiting a completely unexplored territory becomes possible. In an age of hyperbole, it is no exaggeration to say that such an adventure is truly life-changing.
