A stay in these pods is a once in a lifetime, in-depth Antarctica experience, a chance to explore its landscapes and wildlife from an expert, hi-tech camp base for six full days. This trip includes a flight further inland to observe an Emperor Penguin colony up close and a night at the Geographical South Pole.
