The concept:
immersed in raw wilderness
Imagine touching down by helicopter in the heart of Arctic wilderness, miles away from any signs of human life. With nothing but your essentials, it’s you, your team, and the vast, untouched Arctic. You’ll learn to rely on your instincts, hone survival skills, and experience true solitude. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a test of resilience and self-discovery, designed to push your physical and mental limits in every possible way.
UNFORGETTABLE
