ALE attended the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs' (COMNAP) Annual General Meeting (AGM) as part of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) delegation of Invited Experts. ALE sits in on several Expert Groups including Air Operations, Science Facilitation and Safety. Nick was invited to give the Air Operations Expert Group an overview of ALE's successful deployment of ADS-B ground stations for aircraft tracking during the 23-24 season. A special focus at this year's AGM was the Traverse Workshop where ALE shared information and knowledge gained from our own projects over the last decade. ALE highly values the opportunity to attend COMNAP AGM as part of the IAATO delegation and strengthen relationships with National Antarctic Programs. #IAATO #AntarcticTourOperators

About us
Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions (ALE) is a US company with a year-round office in Salt Lake City, USA. ALE is the most experienced deep field tour operator in Antarctica, providing a wide range of guided experiences and logistical support for tourists, independent expeditions, and governmental research programs. The heart of Antarctica was opened to private expeditions in 1985 when ALE's predecessor, Adventure Network International (ANI), established the first inland, blue-ice airfield in Antarctica. It took vision, a lot of logistic planning, and not a little help from supporters in Chile, to make this happen. More than 30 years later, we remain the largest and most experienced private operator in the interior of Antarctica. We have carried thousands of passengers, using large aircraft operating out of Punta Arenas, Chile. We have supported virtually every private expedition that has crossed the continent on foot, by vehicle, or by aircraft. We offer a range of experiences that showcase the best of the icy continent and cater to every type of adventurer. And we continue our mission to set the highest possible environmental standards and to use the best possible practices. Our base at Union Glacier, Antarctica, is open each year from November through January, with a support office in Punta Arenas, Chile. ALE operates a large field camp at Union Glacier that can accommodate up to 100 guests in addition to ALE staff.

We’re excited to share that our Polar Library is growing with some amazing new titles this season! We’ve handpicked these books to make your Antarctic experience even more special. There's something truly magical about reading about Antarctic expeditions while surrounded by the very landscapes the explorers once braved. Some of the titles we're particularly excited about include: The Japanese South Polar Expedition 1910-1912 - A rare English translation of Japan’s early Antarctic expedition. Aurora: Douglas Mawson and the Australian Antarctic Expedition 1911-14 - A detailed account of Douglas Mawson’s challenging Antarctic journey. Towards the South Pole Aboard the Français - A straightforward narrative of French Antarctic exploration. Captain Scott's Invaluable Assistant - A focused look at one of the key figures in Captain Scott’s expedition. These books, and many others, were specially sourced from the Fram Museum in Oslo, known for its incredible collection of polar literature. We love curating an interesting assortment of polar reads for our guests, and we know these new additions will make your time on the ice even more memorable.
