Weather permitting
Camping in Antarctica is beautifully simple: a sleeping bag, a bivvy sack, a shallow trench in the snow and the company of a few fellow travellers. No tents on most programmes — just the open sky, the distant calving of ice and perhaps a penguin's call.
Good to know
Nothing is left behind, including human waste, and the night can be cancelled at short notice if the weather turns. Few who do it ever forget it.
Placeholder — verify availability, prices and requirements with partner operators before launch.
