What you will see and do
Your Expedition Experience
Our Ultima Day Expedition begins by departing Cape Town International Airport in the early morning. After a 6-hour flight, we land on our blue ice runway. Our Expedition Camp is an Antarctic launch-pad, where explorers, engineers and scientists arrive and prepare their journey into the great Antarctic wilderness. On your arrival, you will join many of them in the dining hall for a hot meal.
During this all-inclusive 36 hour expedition you will visit an ice wall, ice cave and the continental ice shelf followed by a night at Ultima Oasis Camp.
What you will do and see
We will board our purpose-built Toyota Hilux and begin your journey into the pristine white wilderness of the Antarctic interior. Travelling across the snow and ice, to reach an astonishing natural artwork: an Antarctic Ice Wall. With the support of our experienced polar guide, we set foot out on to the blue ice, and into this ice cathedral, carved into the ice by long-gone icy waters.
Antarctic Ice Cave
This requires a 90-minute hike, in each direction, down to the Continental Ice Shelf. The frozen whiteness which stretches as far as the eye can see and beyond. Down on the ice, a sacred pilgrimage follows, into an enchanting blue ice-cavern, reflecting every conceivable hue of blue.
Antarctic Ice Wall
This is your opportunity for a first-hand experience of an ancient ice formation, which towers above, as we walk through an exhilarating valley of ice.
Where will you stay?
Ultima Oasis Camp
You will overnight in our Ultima Oasis Camp, which offers delicious food and comfortable surroundings. With photographs taken, goodbyes shared we take to the skies again, for our return flight to Africa! Landing in sight of Table Mountain closes a magical 36 hours, like no other.
