Overview
Freefall over a land of extremes. Antarctica is the highest, driest, windiest, and most beautiful continent on earth. This is the ultimate destination for experienced skydivers and offers a unique adventure. Few will ever have the opportunity to jump here. No other landscape can match the majesty of Antarctica.
Living at Union Glacier, you will be surrounded by pristine wilderness and profound silence. In addition to skydiving, you will explore a region transformed by glaciers over millennia. Hike, bike, or ski through this stunning terrain alongside experienced polar guides.
Weather
The interior of Antarctica has a cold, dry, windy climate. Average mid-season temperatures at our base camp range from -12°F to 30°F (-24°C to -1°C ). On a sunny windless day it can feel quite warm but, when the wind blows, you will be glad of warm layers and a wind jacket. Temperatures can drop as low as -22°F (-30°C) in early November.
Jump temperatures can be as low as -31°F (-35°C).
Activity Level
Moderate
Moderate trips offer adventure with a bit more challenge. They may include walking up to several miles/kilometres on uneven snow and ice; staying in remote field camps; extreme temperatures (–40°F / –40°C); activity at high altitudes (11,000ft / 3350m); or skydiving from 13,000 ft AGL (15,300 ft AMSL) .
