White Desert's Echo, the Antarctic luxury camp, has been awarded a 2024 Global Recognition Award for its achievements in sustainable luxury tourism and polar hospitality.
The award recognizes Echo's exceptional blend of futuristic design, environmental stewardship, and unparalleled guest experiences in one of Earth's most challenging environments. The camp includes six heated Sky Pods featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a central hub, "Cosmos," connected by space station-inspired tunnels.
Echo's technological innovations developed new standards in luxury adventure accommodations where state-of-the-art heating systems ensure guest comfort in extreme conditions. Original International Space Station photographs from Colonel Terry Virts enhance the interior design.
Environmental leadership has been important to White Desert’s success. The Company has maintained carbon neutrality since 2007. Its commitment to sustainability extends to its pioneering use of sustainable aviation fuel and innovative dismantleable design that leaves no trace on the Antarctic environment.
"It's been a privilege to share the interior of Antarctica with scientists and guests for almost 20 years. With 150 staff from 18 different nationalities, our team reflects the cross-cultural efforts involved in preserving and sharing this incredible destination. We are honored and humbled to be recognized by this award," states Mindy Roberts, Chief Marketing Officer at White Desert.
The camp offers exclusive access to the Emperor penguins, a rare expedition to the South Pole, and spectacular mountain ranges, complemented by skiing and ice-climbing activities. Guests enjoy customized cuisine prepared by skilled chefs while enjoying stunning views of the Antarctic landscape.
"What wonderful recognition for our team. It takes enormous commitment and resilience to operate in the remote environment of Antarctica. By sharing the 7th continent with guests and scientists, we are committed to its long-term preservation through the creation of Antarctic Ambassadors," adds Mindy Roberts.
"White Desert's Echo represents the standard of sustainable luxury tourism. Their approach to polar hospitality, combined with their unwavering commitment to environmental preservation, exemplifies the excellence we seek to recognize with our awards," says Alex Sterling, Director of Global Recognition Awards.
