WOLFSFANG MOUNTAIN

These mountains are like no other on earth. Kilometer-high monoliths of rock rise vertically from the ice, creating a landscape that is simply breathtaking. You will spend the day amongst these giants with our expert guides accompanying you every step of the way. That evening, it is a short flight of only 25 minutes to our luxury camp – Whichaway.

  1. Cape Town Starting Point

    Start Point: Cape Town, South Africa – known as the ’Mother City’, with incredible ocean vistas and crowned by Table Mountain, this is where you Antarctic adventure begins. Our team will host a safety briefing in the magnificent wine land of Constantia, ensuring that you are fully prepared for your journey south.

  2. Cape Town Flight

    White Desert is the only company in the world to offer a Gulfstream private jet to access Antarctica. Sit back and relax as we fly over hundreds of icebergs and into continuous sunshine. Destination: Wolf’s Fang runway, which sits beneath one of the most spectacular and iconic mountains on the entire continent. Once landed, we will use a separate aircraft – a DC3 Basler – to fly to the extraordinary Drygalski mountain range that sits only a few kilometers away.

For the next 3 days, our expert guides will offer a variety of activities to suit each individual guest. They can be relaxed or adrenaline-fuelled, the choice is yours.

For the relaxed, there are gentle treks, visits to science bases and day trips in 4x4s. For those seeking more adventure, there is ice climbing, abseiling and even high-lining across our spectacular lake.
