This Would Be Glamping in Antarctica

When it comes to ultimate extreme holiday spots, it almost seems futile to be a contender against Whichaway Camp. Located on a 200ft ice fall on the edge of the Shirmacher Oasis in Queen Maud Land, this is Antarctica’s first (and only) luxury camp.

One of the highlights of the eight-day tour that includes kite skiing, ice climbing, and a close encounter with a colony of Emperor penguins, the camp opened a decade ago. Worn down by the extreme weather conditions, the original six fiberglass domes, originally designed by Ryan Ashworth, recently emerged from an extensive refurbishment.
