White Desert has been pioneering luxury travel in the White Continent since 2005 and uses either a Gulfstream G550 or an Airbus A340 to fly its guests, explorers, scientists and freight to its camps and several research centers in Antarctica. When its Airbus A340 touched down in Antarctica for the very first time last year, it made <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/travel\/article\/first-airbus-a340-plane-antarctica-intl-hnk\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">headlines<\/a> around the world. Guest can book the flight as a day trip (with three hours on the ground in Antarctica) or opt to stay at one of White Desert\u2019s luxury camps in Antarctica (with activities including hiking, abseiling, fat biking, and trips to the South Pole &amp; Emperor penguins).<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever traveled to Antarctica?

ABOUT WHITE DESERT<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Pioneers of luxury travel in Antarctica, White Desert was established by record-breaking polar explorer duo Patrick and Robyn Woodhead in 2005. Born out of a desire to allow people other than scientists and polar explorers to see the wonders of the interior of Antarctica, the company has been established for 17 years and employs 120 people from 17 different nationalities. The company is vertically integrated and the only operator to fly guests by private jet directly from Cape Town to Antarctica, landing on their own unique blue-ice runway. Founded with environmentally conscious principles at its core, White Desert\u2019s mission is to create a positive impact on Antarctica\u2019s future (a bit similar to what the safari industry has meant for environmental conservation in Africa).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some more information about White Desert&#8217;s founders Patrick and Robyn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Patrick Woodhead<\/strong> grew up in England and as a teenager, heard the stories about the \u2018Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration\u2019 and names such as Shackleton and Scott. Determined to follow in their footsteps, he joined the youngest and fastest team to ever reach the South Pole in 2002 and then went on to lead the first ever East to West traverse of Antarctica, covering 1850km (1149 miles) in 75 days. Outside the polar world, he has been on many successful expeditions, summiting unclimbed mountains in Tibet and Kyrgyzstan, kayaking down uncharted rivers in the Amazon and being part of the team to set the fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2015, he rejoined some of his old teammates to break the record for the fastest traverse of Greenland. A passionate advocate for the environment, Patrick is a member of the Royal Geographical Society in London as well as being a speaker for The Prince&#8217;s Trust charity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Robyn Woodhead<\/strong> grew up in Cape Town in a family of intrepid travelers. From the beginning, adventure travel was in her DNA. After graduating from the University of Cape Town, she moved to London where she set herself up in the world of travel marketing and PR, going on to found a UK-based luxury travel marketing and advertising agency. After an expedition to Antarctica in 2005, Robyn turned her attention to the other end of the planet and skied the last degree to the North Pole in 2006, thereby becoming the first South African to reach both Poles. Robyn has been involved in responsible Antarctic travel since 2006 and\u00a0is on a mission to create true \u201cAntarctic Ambassadors\u201d &#8211; former high-profile White Desert clients who then go on to make a difference through their own networks, helping to secure the future and protection of Antarctica.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 id=\"sustainability\"><strong>2. SUSTAINABILITY<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sustainability is at the very heart of White Desert&#8217;s mission and the company does everything it can to manage its impacts on the Antarctic environment. White Desert has been carbon neutral since 2007 but the company&#8217;s largest environmental challenge is of course aviation emissions. Going deep into Antarctica\u2019s interior is one of the defining characteristics of a White Desert experience, and that is only possible for the average traveler by plane. However, planes produce relatively large amounts of carbon emissions but the company is tackling that problem in different ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over the next two years, White Desert aims to replace all Jet A-1 fuel it uses for its flights to, from and within Antarctica by <strong>Sustainable Aviation Fuel<\/strong> (SAF). SAF is produced from waste oils and fats through an innovative process that significantly reduces lifecycle carbon emissions, creating an 80 percent smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional Jet A-1 fuel. SAF combustion also produces fewer particulates and sulphur oxides (SOx), thereby greatly reducing the quantity of soot particles emitted. This is particularly significant in Antarctica as the black color of the soot absorbs the heat of the sun, exacerbating snow melt.<\/li>\n<li>Until renewable aircraft fuel exists on the commercial market, <strong>White Desert offsets all its flights<\/strong>, activities and projects to ensure that it achieves net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Working with the UK-based Carbon Neutral Company, White Desert sponsors a well-established tree planting project in the Amazon rainforest. The group is also exploring sustainability opportunities closer to its home\u00a0in South Africa, namely seagrass meadow regeneration projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to keep in mind that White Desert does not only fly tourists to Antarctica, but also explorers, scientists and tons of freight for research centers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 id=\"safetybriefing\"><strong>3. SAFETY BRIEFING<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">A mandatory safety briefing is organized by White Desert on the day before the scheduled flight into Antarctica.

DINNER<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">During this flight, a 3-course dinner was served shortly after takeoff. The menu read as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"x_MsoListParagraph\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Starter: Carpaccio of beetroot &amp; tomato with whipped cheese mousse and tapenade<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoListParagraph\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Main course: Charred beef fillet topped with wild mushrooms, served with potato dauphinoise and saut\u00e9ed green beans<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoListParagraph\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Dessert: Greek lemon cake with a passion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Portions were a bit on the small side but the meal was decent nonetheless (although the food paled in comparison to the fine cuisine offered at White Desert&#8217;s flagship camp Echo in

LANDING IN ANTARCTICA<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">One hour prior to landing, the captain turned the cabin temperature down and passengers were required to change into their Antarctic kit. <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The last part of the flight was extremely scenic as the giant aircraft slowly descended over the magical Antarctic landscape on its way to Wolf\u2019s Fang runway, a blue ice runway which is privately operated by White Desert. Arriving at Antarctica truly felt like an emotional experience that I had never felt before during all my years of traveling around the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">There are no airports on the White Continent, but there are 50 landing strips and runways, Wolf\u2019s Fang being one of them. The runway is named after Wolf\u2019s Fang Mountain (Ulvetanna in Norwegian), one of the most iconic mountains in Antarctica, which dominates the runway\u2019s skyline. Incredibly, it <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">takes 22\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">hours<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0to groom and\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">prepare<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">runway prior to a jet landing and White Desert has a dedicated team on site which constantly monitors the runway.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> Wolf\u2019s Fang is designated a C Level &#8220;airport, which means that only highly specialized crew can fly there due to challenging conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Upon landing all passengers were welcomed by White Desert\u2019s ground team in Antarctica (which counts more than 80 staff members from more than 17 nationalities). A 4&#215;4 Arctic truck took us from the runway to Echo camp, a 15 min drive among staggering beautiful iced landscapes.
