Strangely enough this large plane lands on wheels on the Patriot Hills base (seen in the far right), Antarctica, 5 hour flight from Punta Arenas, Chile.It uses a runway of hard blue ice, but it can only land when weather conditions are perfect. The freight plane carries supplies, machinery and climbers as well as scientists. See
Beautiful, rich photo. Love the angle. This plane looks almost sad in a way.
Incredible – What a view!
Love the framing, stunning shot!
