Tucked deep within the Southern Ellsworth Mountains, this main camp rests on the vast, shimmering expanse of Union Glacier—accessible only by air and unlike anywhere else on Earth. Just a short flight from Mount Vinson, Antarctica’s highest peak, and a mere 600 nautical miles (1,138 km) from the South Pole, Union Glacier is perfectly positioned for adventure. From our medical facilities, meteorology station, mechanical services bays, equipment stores, polar library, gift shop, and more – you can experience the full hum of what it takes to operate a thriving Antarctic logistics center.
