THE ICEBERG ULTRA in Antarctica is a race like no other. We’ve teamed up with Terra Nova Expeditions to design the perfect 11-day expedition to the Antarctic including a 21km/42km/50km race on the White Continent.

Tailored for adventurers keen to witness the continent’s breathtaking landscapes, captivating wildlife (whales, leopard seal, penguins), and boundless opportunities for discovery. This journey offers thrilling activities including sea kayaking, snowshoeing, ice camping, polar plunge and zodiac trips through icy waters, ensuring each day is filled with unforgettable experiences.

Based on weather, a number of sites are at our disposal for hosting this unique run to help you push your limits at the end of the world. For those not participating, other activities (site landings, animal encounters, etc.) will be available for you to continue your enjoyment of the White Continent.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH

Far Corners is proud to guide adventurers through some of the planet’s last untouched frontiers while maintaining a deep commitment to sustainability. In conjunction with Terra Nova Expeditions, we believe that true conservation lies in collaboration, innovation, and a responsibility to protect the fragile environments we explore.

We have partnered with Ushuaia Eco Pledge to support their efforts in keeping the end of the world a clean and enjoyable space for all. Before setting sail, a group clean up effort will be made in and around Ushuaia to ensure we contribute our bit to maintain the pristine nature. 5% of all tour costs will also be provided to our partner’s education programs and ongoing preservation, for today’s explorers and tomorrow’s generations.

From efficient, low-consumption engines and anti-fouling technology to water-saving systems and the elimination of single-use plastics, our operations are designed to minimize environmental impact on our expedition to the Antarctic. In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we are focused on measurable change, both now and in the future.
