On This Day: Midwinter Day is an annual celebration held across Antarctica on the day of the southern winter solstice (June 20 or 21).

The tradition of a Midwinter Day celebration is credited to Robert Falcon Scott and the crew of the Discovery Expedition who, on June 23, 1902, observed “mid-winter festival” in a deliberate imitation of Christmas.

Family Ties: In January 2018, Jade Hameister and her father, Paul, skied to the South Pole led by polar guide, Eric Philips.

Jade became the youngest person in history and the first Australian woman to ski from the coast to the South Pole. This expedition was the final leg of her Polar quest, having reached the North Pole and crossing the Greenland ice caps two years earlier.

Hey ALE, what’s the weather like in Union Glacier today?

ALE’s meteorological department operates 7 days a week, giving twice-daily forecasts for ALE’s air operations, field parties, and visiting aircraft.

Our forecasters are professional meteorologists with a wide range of experience forecasting for civil and air force aviation. They use a variety of professional instruments and tools to develop a precise forecast.

ALE’s automatic weather stations are a joint project between ALE, Ronald Ross, and polar66, providing weather data in a region where there would otherwise be a blank in the weather maps.

This World Environment Day, think of Antarctica as the world’s largest nature preserve. At almost 5.5 million sq miles (14.2 million sq km) it takes a lot to leave nothing behind.

Our mission is to set the highest possible environmental standards, which includes removing garbage and all waste off the continent. We deeply respect this beautiful continent and believe that responsible tourism gives guests a greater appreciation for Antarctica’s natural values.

The journey is as extraordinary as the destination.

For our Emperor Penguin Camp expeditions, guests may fly on the legendary Basler BT-67 C-GGSU, affectionately known as “Pinocchio” thanks to its long nose. Built for ice, snow, and extreme conditions, this historic aircraft makes reaching one of Earth’s most remote wildlife encounters possible.

Reaching an emperor penguin colony requires flying deep into one of the most remote regions on Earth. Guests land on the sea ice, step out into crisp polar air, and find themselves in the presence of Antarctica’s most iconic species. The scale of the landscape and the intimacy of the encounter create a contrast that stays with you long after you leave. This is more than wildlife viewing: it’s a connection to a place where nature still writes the rules.
