Svalbard: Land of the Polar Bear

Into the White: Modern Antarctic Adventures

“The South Pole is a tremendous experience, one that has to be earned by all who venture here.  For many it is life-altering; it changes our understanding of our planet and gives a greater context to our existence.  To stand here, quite literally at the “end of the Earth’ is a profound privilege.” - Rob McCallum, EYOS Co-Founder

The Antarctic Treaty

On June 23, 1961, twelve countries came together to enact the Antarctic Treaty, creating an unprecedented global partnership and ensuring that Antarctica would remain a place for conservation and science. 62 years after the treaty’s enactment, we look at how this historic cooperation has made Antarctica the destination it is today and how it guides EYOS’s expeditions and operations.
