Extraordinary Conversations.
A private Antarctic expedition to the South Pole with NASA astronaut
Cady Coleman and acclaimed glass artist Josh Simpson.
One has viewed Earth from orbit. The other has spent a lifetime creating imagined worlds in glass. Together, Cady Coleman and Josh Simpson bring science, art, exploration, and perspective to an extraordinary week in Antarctica.
An intimate luxury expedition limited to 10 participants.
January 19-26 , 2027
This is not a keynote.
It is not a tour.
It is a week-long conversation among ten thoughtful people in one of the most extraordinary places on Earth.
Why This Expedition
When extraordinary people gather in extraordinary places, something remarkable happens.
This expedition was created around a simple idea: that Antarctica is more than a destination. It is a place that changes perspective.
Over the course of a week at the South Pole and White Desert’s Whichaway Camp, a small group of just ten guests will share this experience alongside astronaut Dr. Cady Coleman and acclaimed glass artist Josh Simpson. Together, we’ll explore not only one of Earth’s most remote environments, but also the conversations that emerge when curiosity, exploration, science, art, and human experience intersect.
If you believe that the most meaningful journeys are measured not only by where you go, but by how they change the way you see the world, I invite you to join us.
