Welcome in the New Year at the end of the earth in the midnight sun. Departing in the evening, this unique flight will have you celebrating at dizzying heights over the most unique landscape on our earth. On-board you will be entertained with live music and lavished with champagne while you soar over the enigmatic landscapes of Antarctica below you.
You will travel from Melbourne in the late afternoon and return the following year (13 hours later). A team of Antarctica experts onboard will explain the landscapes and history of the continent as you fly. Over the years, Chimu Adventures has built up one of largest teams of Antarctica experts within Australia and they leverage off this team to help you enjoy a fantastic inflight experience.
Generally, it takes around three hours of flying time south of Australia before you'll start to see scattered icebergs and shortly after reaching the continent itself, where, weather permitting, you’ll get to take in the dramatic mountains, glaciers and frozen landscapes of Antarctica.
You will spend 3 - 4 hours flying over the Antarctic continent and weather permitting the flying altitude will be reduced to approximately 20,000 feet to give improved viewing of some areas.
A number of factors, including weather, cloud cover and ice conditions, will be carefully considered on departure to help provide you with the best viewing experience on the day. Working with Qantas, there are 20 different potential flight paths to choose from, all of which have a variety of interesting features to see.
