Echo
White Desert
Antarctica
You can’t get more remote than a visit to the seventh continent. Operator White Desert says its new camp, Echo, is “as close as you can get to feeling like you’re off the planet without leaving Earth.” The Echo camp is made up of just six ‘sky pods’, designed to look as if they’ve been beamed down from Mars. The expansive windows give guests the best possible views of the other-worldly location: vast, moonscape-like stretches of snow and ice, and pitted rock formations. Adventures include ski-ing, fat biking, and abseiling, as well as trips to see Emperor Penguins and the South Pole. As with all White Desert camps, Echo can be dismantled, leaving no trace on Antarctica - a true hidden gem.
