Ibex Expeditions Featured in Esquire India: Antarctica: Still Wild, Wicked, Wondrous
We are delighted to share that Ibex Expeditions has been featured in the latest issue of Esquire India through an account by writer Prannay Pathak, reflecting on his Antarctic expedition with us, taken in February 2026.
In the piece, Prannay captures the continent in all its complexity — from bustling penguin colonies and breaching humpback whales to towering glaciers, dramatic icebergs, and the fragile ecosystems that make Antarctica one of the world's last great wildernesses.
The feature also highlights Ibex Expeditions' commitment to responsible polar travel through our #AntarcticaMatters initiative, which seeks to build awareness and advocacy for the long-term protection of Antarctica. The article is both a celebration of the extraordinary experience of exploring the continent and a thoughtful reflection on why its conservation has never been more important.
Prannay shares his insights with sensitivity. Read the full feature in Esquire India via this link.
Ibex Expeditions curates journeys to Antarctica, the Arctic, and other remote wilderness landscapes for solo travellers, couples, and private groups, with the option of travelling alongside an experienced Ibex Expeditions trip leader for deeper exploration and insight.
In August 2027, we’ll be exploring the depths of Greenland, and in October 2027, the landscapes of Melanasia — we hope you join us.
