Skiing in Antarctica
Travel made your way ™
Yes, you can go skiing in Antarctica, especially on the Antarctic Peninsula, which is the easiest part of the continent to reach. It’s a top spot for backcountry skiing because of its deep snow and untouched landscapes. Most Antarctica skiing happens on glaciers, with slopes that range from easy to steep.
Skiing in Antarctica is a major expedition that typically takes around 40 to 60 days, depending on the route, weather, and pace. Most full crossings cover about 1,000 to 1,200 miles (1,600 to 2,000 km) and are done by experienced polar explorers pulling sleds (pulks) with all their gear. These journeys are physically demanding and require careful planning, support, and sometimes include assistance from kites or wind sails. Adventure Life does not offer this type of extreme Antarctica skiing expedition.
