Starting your journey in Cape Town, you’ll be flown by private jet to Wolf’s Fang runway from where you are ferried to White Desert, the only luxury hotel on the frozen continent.

From there, a variety of adventurous itineraries are available, ranging from a day trip priced at US$14,500 per person to a 24-day ultimate experience for up to 12 people for almost £3 million (around US$4 million).

The list of exciting activities awaiting intrepid travellers starts with visiting emperor penguin colonies and ice caves, and runs to kite skiing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, kayaking and more, all against the backdrop of the planet’s wildest and most unspoilt continent.

Staying overnight is a comparatively luxurious affair at Whichaway Camp, where thickly insulated, double-walled pods come with en suite bathrooms and are accented with wood and textured fabrics. A private chef is on hand to prepare everything from hearty warming breakfasts to six-course dinners paired with the best vintages Cape Town has to offer.

Just added to the itineraries is an eight-day package that includes a climb to an untouched summit in the Drygalski range, including a stay at the resort’s newest accommodation, Wolf Fang’s Camp. Made up of seven guest sleeping tents, a large communal tent and a newly-refurbished wash room facility, all guest areas are heated and decorated with rich leather finishes and rugged textures with a Scandinavian luxury vibe.

Ahead of each exploratory itinerary in the Drygalski range, guides set up the camp in a suitable spot at the base of the mountains. Adventurers then take advantage of the 24-hour sunlight to trek into the mountains and summit a peak on which no human has stood before.

The price? Currently US$92,500 for one person or US$80,000 per person for a couple. Or put another way, something like a Porsche 911 or that alligator Birkin.
