The bottom of the map, Antarctica might not be the first place that comes to mind for a ski destination. However, if you're ready to journey the distance and brave the Drake Passage, Antarctica is a once in a lifetime ski trip and bucket list destination.
Our very own ambassador and friend, Tamara Susa, made the trip this past December. Talented photographer and snowboarder, Tamara and her husband took the honeymoon of dreams! Here's a quick photo story to inspire your next adventure and experience an epic place from her point of view.
The real journey begins at the southern tip of South America.

What a journey it is to get to Antarctica — planes, trains, automobiles, charter ships. And that's just to get to the dinghy!
Time to shake out the sea legs.
Following the leader.
From stunning towering peaks emerging from glacier plains to wild life surfacing the glassy sea, Antarctica is a sight for sore eyes. Truly a unique ski experience.
