WELCOME TO ECHO CAMP
Stay in Echo Camp’s futuristic Sky Pods, set directly on the Antarctic ice, for a frontier experience in the world’s most remote wilderness.
This is as close as you’ll come to another planet without leaving Earth. Inspired by the space age, Echo’s six sleek Sky Pods sit among glistening ice sheets and rock formations. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the lunar landscapes beyond, while interiors feature photographs taken from the International Space Station by White Desert guest Colonel Terry Virts, who calls the surrounding peaks the most beautiful he has seen across Earth, Venus and Mars.
The camp hosts just 12 guests, ensuring exclusivity and solitude in one of the most remote places on the planet. Despite the setting, comfort is never in question: heated interiors, refined dining and meticulous touches temper the extremes of the polar frontier.
What we love about Echo Camp
- Echo’s composite-fiberglass Sky Pods were designed with aerospace engineers to combine space-age design with extraordinary comfort.
- Limited to just twelve guests, Echo Camp provides an extraordinarily intimate way to experience Antarctica, far from the crowds of the cruise ships.
- Each stay is completely bespoke, with polar exploration guides offering an array of outdoor activities, from skiing and abseiling down frozen cliffs to mountaineering and wildlife safaris.
- Dining is a surprise in itself: imaginative menus paired with fine wines flown in from Capetown.
- Guests fly directly into Antarctica via Wolf’s Fang runway, a private air link that brings even the remotest corners within reach.
- Echo’s design ethos is “leave no trace”: the entire camp can be dismantled, ensuring Antarctica remains as untouched as when you arrived.
What to do at Echo Camp
Experience life on another planet in Sky Pods that look like they’ve been beamed down from Mars.
Wake each morning to breathtaking views over the 7th Continent’s icy wilderness. Days can be as active or reflective as you choose: ski or fat bike along the private Explorer’s Loop, abseil frozen cliffs with expert guides, or strap on crampons to climb icy ridges. Take a 4×4 safari across the ice, or fly out to witness emperor penguin colonies in their natural habitat – one of the rarest wildlife encounters on Earth.
Nights bring their own adventure: camp out beneath Antarctic skies, share stories over dinner, or simply sit in silence as the polar light shifts across the horizon.
When to travel
The extreme Antarctic weather means that the season is short – from November to March. Please get in touch about availability.
