Whichaway Camp is the flagship camp located on the shores of one of the freshwater lakes in the ice-free Schirmacher Oasis. The team has designed six heated 'polar pods' with cutting-edge exteriors and old-world interiors that conjure up images of Antarctica's rich history of exploration.
Guests at Whichaway love to sit back and chat in the communal lounge, library, and dining area, which offer a wonderful space to relax with amazing views. They can savor gourmet meals prepared by their private chef, enjoy a sauna with a panoramic view of the glacier, sip cocktails by the fire, and cross off bucket list adventures like visiting the South Pole, ice climbing, hiking over ice waves, and coming face-to-face with 28,000 emperor penguins.
