Antarctica is a wonderful place to find peace and quiet. Below the towering mountain ranges that dot the white continent, there exists a camp that is perfect for anyone seeking the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Three Glaciers Retreat is a remote luxury camp at the head of three glaciers: the Schneider, the Schanz, and the Driscoll. Nestled in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica, our Three Glaciers Retreat is surrounded by majestic peaks, which offer vast opportunities for snowmobiling, skiing, climbing, and hiking.
Camp luxuries
Occupancy at Three Glaciers Retreat is limited to 16 guests, creating the ultimate private camp and first-class service. With luxurious inclusions such as high-efficiency heaters, sateen sheets and vintage linen, the sleeping suites make you feel at home in the polar conditions. Amenities abound, such as the 24-hr bar located in the central lounge, or the hot showers made possible by melted snow straight from the glacier. But what becomes a subject of conversation most often is the food. Our private chef crafts original dishes from fresh, imported ingredients, so whether you’re returning from a long ski day or simply want to soak up the best our camp has to offer, you will always be rewarded with a nutritious and delicious meal.
Customizable opportunities
Given the camp’s close location to our logistics hub at Union Glacier, the logistics of traveling to the South Pole are made easy. Embracing the spirit of polar adventure, you can walk from your tent and board a private plane, outfitted with skis, to fly to the South Pole. Our South Pole camp is the only overnight camp at the pole and allows you to fully enjoy the southernmost location on Earth. History buffs will be in awe of your experience, as you set foot on one of the most sought-after achievements in polar history. Whether you are looking to connect to the past or embrace the opportunity to explore more of Antarctica, our South Pole camp offers ample opportunities to live your dream. Depending on the season, some guests may even get the special opportunity to watch expeditioners, after their multi-week journeys, complete their mission of reaching the South Pole on foot, ski, or other modes of transportation. Connecting with fellow explorers and international travelers is another major perk of our luxury camp and is a highlight for many of our guests. You will return home with many stories to share.
