Into the deep south

Boldly go where no ordinary traveller has gone before. Surely you owe it to yourself after two years of lockdowns and no-travel zones.

Pioneers of luxury travel in Antarctica, White Desert, will open "Echo" in November. The land of snow and ice, Antarctica provides an alluring backdrop for Echo, inspired by the seminal age of space exploration. The eco-camp will provide exclusive access to the rarely seen interiors of the southernmost continent on planet Earth. It will feature six heated, cutting-edge "sky pods" complete with French windows offering commanding views of the dramatic landscape. Crafted from composite fibreglass, each pod will be designed for two, with interiors featuring retro space-age detailing and luxurious furnishings. Photos taken from the International Space Station by retired astronaut Col Terry Virts will adorn the walls.
