South Pole Flights
The Southernmost Point on Earth
Embark on a flight to the South Pole, where all 360 lines of longitude meet and in a few steps you can walk around the world.
History comes alive as you stand at 90° South, the ultimate goal of polar explorers Amundsen and Scott. Imagine how it felt to head out across the frozen continent and into the unknown over 100 years ago. Feel the spirit of determination and discovery that has inspired a century of Antarctic exploration and scientific research.
Outside Amundsen-Scott Station, you’ll have plenty of time for photographs at the Ceremonial Pole, surrounded by the flags of the Antarctic Treaty signatory nations. A journey to the South Pole is a significant achievement for any world traveler and you’ll feel the power of this special place. Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions is proud to be the premier provider for South Pole flights.

6 OR 7 DAY ITINERARY
Day 01
Board a private charter flight and cross the legendary Drake Passage en route to Antarctica. As the mountains of the Ellsworth Range come into view, you’ll descend onto Union Glacier’s blue-ice runway and take your first steps on the Antarctic continent. After a short transfer to camp, settle into your accommodations and begin experiencing life in one of the world’s most extraordinary environments
Day 2-5
While our meteorologists identify the ideal weather window for your South Pole flight, you’ll have several days to explore the spectacular landscapes surrounding Union Glacier. Guided excursions may include the dramatic peaks of Elephant’s Head, the fossil-rich slopes of Rhodes Bluff, the remote Buchanan Hills, or the sculpted blue ice of Drake Icefall and Charles Windscoop. Every day offers new opportunities for hiking, photography, wildlife spotting, learning, and discovering Antarctica’s remarkable polar environment
Flexible Flight Day
When conditions align, you’ll board a ski-equipped aircraft bound for the Geographic South Pole. Flying deep into the Antarctic interior, you’ll cross the vast polar plateau, passing sastrugi fields and endless expanses of white as you journey toward 90° South. This flight offers the shortest route from a private Antarctic camp to the South Pole, maximizing your time at one of the world’s most iconic destinations
Day 6 or 7
When weather and runway conditions permit, board your return flight to Punta Arenas. As Antarctica disappears beneath the horizon, take time to reflect on an extraordinary journey to one of the most exclusive destinations on Earth. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel for the evening
