  • Join me on a full tour (in 4K) of Echo, the world's most remote luxury camp in Antarctica. Inspired by astronauts, Echo sits on a massive glacier in quiet solitude encircled by ice-covered rock formations. The futuristic camp is managed by White Desert and can only be reached by private flight.
    The video includes the flight to Echo, a full tour of Echo, fine dining in Antarctica, as well as the activities around Echo (e.g. hiking, abseiling, biking, ice climbing and exploring a crevasse). Keep watching tell the end for a fun party in a stunning ice bar!

    This video is so different point of view of Antarctica. You captured such beauty and marvelous scenes from a place with such emptiness and only three colors in it - white, gray, and blue (the snow, the rocks, and the sky). Somehow in your video, you managed to fill this emptiness with life even in the silence. Remarkable!
    I've watched another video on RUclips about traveling to Antarctica and hiking most higher top there. There was a huge storm and all looked like so a dangerous adventure. It was too much raw experience for me and I'd never prefer to go there because I thought that was all that Antarctica has to offer.
    But after your experience of Antarctica from your very different perspective than the first I mentioned, in a much more comfortable and accommodated way of staying, and still with interesting adventures activities, Antarctica is a lot more attractive destination.
    Thank you that you share your wonderful experiences from our amazing world with all of us! Your channel is one of a kind and is one of the best in the travel area on RUclips, especially in luxury travel is the best.

      Everybody has a choice. This choice is expressed in what we choose to believe. Everything is the point of view even our experience as individuals and as collective human beings. I know that there are global matters and topics that we have to pay attention to them. I'm absolutely about that we have to care for our home Planet Earth. We have to love, appreciate, and respect our home Planet Earth.
      ​@Francisco C I respect your point of view and understand that you are concerned about the well-being of the planet and wish for the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants. That's great! 🙂
      But I don't think that some anti-utopic TV series is the most accurate example of the future of the planet. Mostly because is founded on the perspective of fear and belief in degradation. Especially because is grounded on the point of view of scared people who are not able to see the good things that happening all around the world and the positive evolution. And positive evolution is in the essence of this world from the very beginning. I believe that when we use the goods of our Earth with love, appreciation, and respect everything is all right with the planet, our future like human beings and all creatures in this world.
      I've never been there in Antarctica. I'm not quite sure that ever will go because the cold weather is not my thing. But I'm curious and I love penguins. I'm grateful that there is this comfortable option with this camp and appreciate what these people offer to not-so-experienced adventure travelers. I'm happy that people there expressed that they respect the pristine of the region and exploit the place with great care and respect.🙂
