There are few places on Earth that remain as raw, remote, and untouched as the South Pole. A place where all 360 lines of longitude converge, where the ice beneath your feet is nearly two miles thick, and where the history of the great early explorers lives on. At 90° South, you’re not just visiting a destination—you’re stepping into a legend. And while getting to the South Pole is a feat in itself, the real magic lies in how you explore once you arrive. EYOS curates bespoke experiences that allow you to engage deeply with this extreme environment—whether you’re scaling an icy windscoop, skiing untouched slopes, or simply soaking in the surreal silence under the midnight sun. Here are some of the most extraordinary ways to explore during your expedition to the bottom of the world.

1. Camp at 3 Glaciers
Tucked into the southern Ellsworth Mountains on the broad expanse of Union Glacier, 3 Glaciers is a warm and luxurious base in the heart of Antarctica’s interior. Located just a stone’s throw from Mount Vinson—the continent’s highest peak—you’ll be 1,883 miles (3,030 km) from the southern tip of Chile and worlds away from the ordinary. With private domed tents, gourmet meals, and expert guides, this is basecamp reimagined for the modern explorer. Wake up to alpenglow on the mountains and head out each day for tailor-made adventures in this pristine and dramatic landscape.

2. Snowmobile Below the Cliffs of Mount Sporli
Hop on a snowmobile and carve a path beneath the towering cliffs of Mount Sporli. This isn’t your average joyride—it’s an immersion into one of Antarctica’s most spectacular geological formations. At the base of Sporli Col, a short hike leads to Larson Valley Overlook, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of the Sentinel Range and its string of jagged peaks and ancient glaciers. This is one of the few places on the planet where you can truly feel the scale and solitude of Earth’s last great wilderness.

3. Ice Climb at Charles Peak Windscoop
Antarctica is a master sculptor, and nowhere is that more evident than the windscoops carved into the base of Charles Peak. Towering, translucent blue walls line a natural corridor just waiting to be explored. For those seeking a bit more adrenaline, this is a prime location to try ice climbing with our expert guides. Whether you’re trekking through the shimmering windscoop or ascending vertical ice, you’ll be face to face with the forces that shape this icy continent.

4. Skiing in the Heritage Range
Whether you’re an experienced skier or strapping on skis for the first time, this corner of Antarctica has something for you. Our guides will tailor your experience—leading you across scenic cols and gentle valleys on cross-country skis, or up untouched slopes for thrilling downhill runs. Want a quick adrenaline hit between other adventures? The hill behind 3 Glaciers is perfect for carving a few fresh turns. If you’d rather explore at a slower pace, grab a fat-tire bike or glide across the groomed trails, surrounded by mountains that look like they’ve been plucked from another planet.

5. Overnight at the South Pole
This is the crown jewel of any Antarctic journey. Board a ski-equipped aircraft and fly to the southernmost point on Earth. As you deplane near the iconic South Pole marker, you’ll join a rare and elite group who’ve stood here—where the sun never sets during the austral summer, and the ground beneath you is nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) of compressed snow and ice. After a celebratory photo and time to explore the area, you’ll retire to our private South Pole Camp for a once-in-a-lifetime overnight stay. Share stories with fellow explorers over a chef-prepared meal in the heated dining tent, then slip into your full-size heated tent and fall asleep at the very bottom of the world.
