Explorer Camp


Explorer sits beneath the iconic profile of T-Rex Mountain, surrounded by sweeping ice fields that stretch to the horizon. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of purpose and possibility — this is where journeys begin.

Designed for those who seek authentic adventure, the camp embraces purposeful simplicity. Heated bedroom tents open onto vast, ever-changing vistas, giving each morning a renewed sense of discovery. This Alpine-style camp captures the spirit of exploration in its most elemental form — bold in its setting, minimal in its footprint, and deeply connected to Antarctica’s raw wilderness.

Explorer serves as the ideal launch point for our signature South Pole expedition — and a celebration of what it means to venture boldly into the world’s last great wilderness.


Captain Scott would have traded in his reindeer boots to experience Antarctica this way!
