"There is no more dramatic landscape to wake up to than this lunar landscape," attests Mindy Roberts, White Desert’s chief marketing officer.
The camp’s six accommodations are bubble-like prefab designs by Skulpod that take inspiration from space modules. They’re lightweight, climate resistant, and include floor-to-ceiling windows that provide vistas over Antarctica’s snow, ice, and craggy rock formations. Far from civilization, the atmosphere is alarmingly quiet.
The two-person pods are prefabricated, modular units that are lightweight and resilient against the sub-zero climate.
