A Mountaineer's Dream

Climb Antarctica is truly the continent’s best kept secret, promising unlimited terrain and stunning scenery in the most remote and pristine place on Earth! Pricing reflects a minimum of 2 guests to 1 guide, please inquire further for 1:1 pricing.

Explore the virtually untouched alpine peaks of the Heritage Range, cradled within the Ellsworth Mountains. Take on steep ice couloirs, classic ridge traverses, icy crests, rock pyramids, and hidden valleys. The Heritage Range has the breadth and depth of terrain to suit any climber’s level of experience.

Over the last few seasons, our guests have made some amazing ascents, including Mount Dolence, Linder Peak, Anderson Massif, and Mount Sporli, the highest peak in the range. It’s no coincidence this is our guides’ favorite trip.

It was a great trip from the beginning with you to the plane at Punta with Rene. Outstanding could be the only comment that we could make.

Tom Crane
“

Thank you very much for helping me to get to Antarctica. It was a great trip and ALE was so well organized. I think I lost my soul to the ice.

Correne Coetzer

Now after some while I realize what a great time I had during the whole trip both in Chile and Antarctica. The delay we had was not a delay, it was anticipation of a real adventure and I enjoyed it too. I appreciate very much your efforts and professionalism in preparing and managing this very complicated logistic operation. I was even more pleased dealing with your team which creates very friendly and warm air in the cold environment.

I wanted to personally thank you and your team for a exceptional season on the ice. In my opinion the whole affair was faultless to a tee... even the bubbles in the champene you provided us on our return from the pole were of the correct diameter.

I have traveled for over 75 years to many extremely remote places and without a doubt Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions is the best logistics company I've ever worked with... If you want to travel to Antarctica and really see and experience the place, ALE is your best choice as a travel partner. They have my highest recommendation-5 STARS. “Thank You” ALE for exceeding all my expectations and giving me the experience of a lifetime.

Beginning with the entire onboarding process, the quality of the people at ALE stood out. From the early emails to the final pre-departure steps in Punta Arenas, each transition felt smooth and clear... From the perspective of the “adventure experience” I was awestruck every waking moment that I was there.
