Experience Details:
- Departure from Cape Town on January 12, 2025:
- The journey to the continent is aboard a "heavy" such as an Airbus A340 or a private jet. Traveling in Business Class, you will join a select group of like-minded explorers journeying across the mighty Southern Ocean.
- During the 5.5-hour flight, you will cross the Polar Circle and soar over thousands of icebergs and pass into 24 hours of continuous sunshine.
- Destination: Wolf's Fang Runway
- Wolf's Fang Runway:
- Wolf's Fang Runway is one of the only privately managed blue ice runways in the world. The 3K stretch stands in the shadow of one of the continent's most iconic mountains - named Ulventanna or "Wolf's Fang" by the early Norwegian explorers. It stands like a primeval sentinel surrounded by staggering spires of rock that pierce the icebound landscape.
- On arrival, that first glacial breathe charges through your body at lightning speed. Under foot the ice crackles - sound heightened by the overwhelming sense of stillness. In every direction the timeless landscape envelops you and the magnitude of where you are becomes a visceral reality,
- Your time on the ice:
- After your arrival (and depending on the weather on ice) you will spend approximately 3 hours on the continent.
- You will experience a couple of unique activities:
- Qualified mountain guides will lead you into an ice cave nearby and take you on a gentle hike to a mountain where you will experience a champagne picnic with views of the Wolf Fang's range. For the more daring, you can abseil down the side before crossing the glacial ice back to the Snow Lounge for a final drink before you board your return flight back to Cape Town.
