A trip to Antarctica is not something that everyone has on their list; however, surely the most adventurous have dreamed of feeling like the first explorers of this inhospitable region. Now, the White Desert company makes it even more appetizing thanks to the recent opening of its glamping Wolf's Fang ("Wolf's Fang"), which shows that adventure, luxury and sustainability they can shake hands.
“Situated between pillars of rock that rise to 1,000 meters vertically from the ice cap, this new camp gets its name from an iconic mountain peak that dominates the horizon. Visible from more than 100 kilometers away On clear days, Wolf's Fang Mountain was first seen by a Nazi government-funded aerial expedition in the late 1930s. Since that day, the area has been largely closed to tourists , and only Norwegian scientists and a handful of elite mountaineers challenge its summits”, they explain from the company.

The spacious lounge tent remains "the perfect place to relax and enjoy delicious meals around a vintage exploration oven" thanks to a tall chef.
