Endurance22 Expedition

White Desert supported the historical Endurance22 Expedition, which set off to locate, survey and film the hunt for Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship lost to the sea ice in 1915.

The Endurance was found on March 5th, 2022.

In partnership with the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust (FMHT), White Desert deployed an expert logistics team of 8 staff to provide living support, safety and on-ice survival assistance.

Departing from Cape Town, South Africa to Antarctica’s Weddell Sea on 5th February 2022, the team was deployed from the S.A. Agulhas directly onto the sea ice.

Snow Queen

Snow Queen Vodka was established in 1994 by Gulnida Toichieva as a Kazakhstani family owned bespoke beverage house.

In 2021/22, White Desert and Snow Queen Vodka unearthed their Snow Lounge and Ice Bar, an unexpected touch of luxury inspired by nature's wonder.

Lagavulin

Founded in 1816 on the south coast of Islay, Lagavulin's irreverent history is reflected in its distinctively feisty flavour profile which features a bold seaside smokiness.

A connoisseur favourite, Lagavulin was the undisputed choice of whiskey to offer guests of White Desert upon their return to camp following a day of exploration.

Immensely precise, reliable and durable, Bremont watches are hand built in limited numbers.
