Ski touring at the South Pole
Can you imagine skiing through its mountains? Go down its slopes to a beach surrounded by ice and penguins with skis on?
A trip for adventurers looking to discover these wonderful Antarctic landscapes, their flora and their wildlife. Whales, seals, penguins and elephant seals will be our travel companions.
There is no better way to know this continent than from a sailboat, which will be our means of transport and shelter. With a zodiac we will disembark every day on beaches from where we will begin our ski trips in search of summits that have never been skied before.
We will follow in the footsteps of former explorers like Ernest Shackleton and cross the famous Drake Passage from Chilean Patagonia to the Antarctic Peninsula. Once there we will have about two weeks to explore, discover and enjoy its mountains and bays before starting the way back.
There is the possibility of crossing the Drake by plane and only navigate the Antarctic Peninsula.
THE MOST VIRGIN PLACE IN THE EARTH !!
