Kite skiing in Antarctica with average temperatures in the winter season between -30 to -45 degrees celcius is a bit different than kiting in the snow fields or on a beach back home. None the less, if you love and enjoy kiting like we do the cold won’t be a factor at all; it only makes kiting more intense and enjoyable.
Travelling up to 20-40km on occasions and reaching great speeds on flagged (safe zones) sea ice roads to nearby locations, it is the best kiting I have ever experienced.
With the harsh weather conditions and sub zero temperatures of Antarctica Safety is your number one concern, especially with recreational outdoor activities and sports. But still with all the protective safety clothing and gloves it is real easy to set up your kite/lines & bar outside and ready to get going within a short time.
