00:00Ever wanted to feel like you're on another planet? Welcome to Antarctica's space-themed Echo Camp,
00:05the newest, boldest luxury lodge of a white desert. The week-long experience starts in
00:08Cape Town, where you take a five-and-a-half-hour flight in a private plane directly to Antarctica
00:12where the sun never sets during camp season. After landing on a runway of ice, you're whisked
00:17to a futuristic camp which looks like something out of a Star Wars film. The inside of Echo's
00:22command center-style hub is pure cosmic luxury, with amazing artwork, delicious fine dining,
00:26and mountain views at every corner. There are just six ensuite bedroom pods with lush,
00:31heated fabrics, and yes, the pods are heated. Outside of the camp, there's lots to do,
00:35and I especially loved abseiling down a cliff, ice climbing, and going deep inside a just-discovered
00:40crevasse. But the main highlights were flying to the coast to see an emperor penguin colony,
00:44and flying seven extra hours down to visit a South Pole. There are no TVs or
00:48Wi-Fi access during the trip, but with this out-of-the-world experience, who needs it?
