The best day trip ever<\/h3>\n

Let your dream come true and make this unforgettable trip fromCape Town<\/a> toAntarctica<\/a> . Board the Airbus A340 (or private jet) in Mother City and watch as the African night over thousands of icebergs gradually turns into a 24\/7 sunlit Antarctic summer day. After an extraordinarily comfortable flight of just five hours, you’ll land on Wolf’s Fang Runway<\/strong>, the only runway for private jets in Antarctica situated in the majestic Wolf’s Fangs Mountains, a rarely seen region largely closed to tourists. Be one of the few to set foot on the remote seventh continent, in a surreal landscape of iridescent ice tunnels and vertical rock pinnacles, endless uninhabited horizons and oceans dotted with icebergs.<\/p>\n

Your time on the seventh continent<\/h4>\n

After arrival (and depending on the weather on the ice) you will spend about 3 hours on the continent. Qualified mountain guides accompany you to a nearby ice cave and take you for a leisurely hike to the base of a mountain for a champagne picnic with phenomenal views of the Wolf’s Fang Mountains. Daredevils can abseil down the side, before crossing the glacial ice back to the Snow Lounge for a final drink. After these memorable hours, you’ll fly back again, laden with memories of perhaps the best day of your life, Where the world can’t find you….<\/em> <\/p>\n
