Union Glacier Camp ~ Cruise Norway

Union Glacier Camp

This is a land tour destination in Antarctica

Crafted for the extremes, our Antarctic camps are a testament to precision engineering and logistical mastery. Whether you’re staying at Union Glacier Camp nestled by Mount Rossman, or traveling to one of our remote camps, each site is primarily powered by renewable energy systems and supported by expert field staff trained in polar operations. Refined with our nearly half a century of experience in the interior of Antarctica, our camps are optimized for safety, sustainability, and a once-in-a-lifetime immersive experience.

Union Glacier Camp is the only full-service private camp of its kind on the continent. More than just a place to stay, Union Glacier is the central hub of Antarctic exploration. It offers comfortable accommodations for guests on guided adventures while also serving as a vital logistics center—supporting private expeditions, scientific research teams, and National Antarctic Programs from around the world.

Dining Tent

The dining tent is the heart of our camp and serves as a gathering place for all of our guests. You’ll have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world embarking on everything from a Mount Vinson summit attempt to a Ski South Pole expedition. You’ll get to mingle with our staff, who speak 15 different languages, and may have the chance to talk to scientists working on a variety of research projects.

Our talented chefs utilize a fully equipped kitchen to create fresh-cooked meals, baked goods, and fantastic desserts. You’ll be surprised at the range of fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses we’re able to fly in regularly from Chile. We offer a variety of hot beverages, soft drinks, juices, and water. Chilean beer and wine are served in limited quantities with dinner.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served at set times. In between meals, self-serve snacks and beverages are always available. All meals are served buffet style and vegetarian options are available upon request. If you have made special dietary requests, please introduce yourself to the kitchen staff when you arrive in camp. Due to the remote location of our camp and distance from advanced medical care, we are unable to cater to those with severe food allergies.
