Luxury and adventure in the
most remote place on Earth
SNOWBOUND
OUR SEASON
Between November and February, during the short polar summer, we fly guests and scientists due south from the coast. Limited to twelve guests each, our camps create an experience that is both intimate and immersive.
Our trips
The Pole & Blue Rivers
Our newest itinerary. The geographic pole, fewer than 500 visitors a year, plus the rarely seen meltwater rivers.
The Long Stay
Eleven nights to let the place slow you down.
Snowfield in a Day
Fly in, stand on the ice, be home for the weekend.
Discovery Week
Ridges, rock spires and a different campsite every night.
The High Plateau
Wind-carved dunes and a sky with no edges.
After two decades of Pale Meridian, it still amazes me to bring people into the heart of the most remote continent on Earth. A place so vast and so quiet that it rearranges what you thought mattered. It is not just the beauty or unimaginably large landscapes; it is the reconnection to nature in its purest form.

HOLLOW LAKE
Our original camp, newly reimagined. Bare rock and freshwater lakes: a side of the far south seldom seen.
