Return to the comfort of our exclusive Three Glaciers Retreat, tucked away deep in the interior of Antarctica. Designed with a thoughtful attention to detail, Three Glaciers provides a sanctuary for relaxation and comfort. Immerse yourself in the ultimate wilderness, surrounded by pristine views, untouched spaces, and profound silence. Here in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, majestic peaks rise in all directions offering unlimited opportunities for snowmobiling, hiking, climbing, and skiing.
The interior of Antarctica has a cold, dry, windy climate. Average mid-season temperatures at our retreat range from -12°F to 30°F (-24°C to -1°C ). Three Glaciers Retreat is typically less windy than other areas. 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.
At the South Pole, be prepared for extreme conditions. Temperatures rarely climb above -13°F (-25°C) with light winds and windchill down to -40°F (-40°C). The physiological altitude (how high it feels) is roughly 11,000ft (3,300m).
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) .
Strenuous trips include skiing, climbing, and trekking trips where you spend several days or more in remote field camps and you are active for 6-8 hours a day over steeper, more rugged terrain. They can involve climbing and camping at altitude and in extreme weather conditions. These trips can be tailored to your skills and abilities, however a good level of fitness is essential and some technical skills may be required.
