Dixie's Expedition Camp

Located at 83°S (only a little way from the South Pole itself), the main focus of FD83 is the heated lounge tent, decorated with cushy chairs and explorer-inspired motifs - think repurposed supply crates, vintage skis, and funky lamps. Evenings are best spent by the fire with a drink, sharing a hearty, freshly-prepared meal with your fellow travellers.

You'll spend the night in an army-green teepee, equipped with enough fluffy blankets and hot water bottles to tide you over until morning. While simple and easy to set up, the tents provide a comfortable night's sleep and in the morning, you'll wake to the sight of endless, glistening snow. The bathrooms are shared, but there's plenty of hot water.

You'll fly from base camp in a Basler BT-67 plane, before refuelling at FD83, and continuing your journey to the Geographical South Pole. The lowest point on Earth, you'll walk 'around the world' in just a few steps, as well as visiting the famous Amundsen-Scott research station, snapping a hundred and one photos, and getting that all-important passport stamp. There's also plenty of time to take in every inch of the sparkling landscape.
