ANTARCTICA SCENIC FLIGHT
After returning from my morning activities it was time to head for the airport for my flight to Antarctica.
Fellow passenger Christy poses with a penquin at gate 7 as we waited to board our Qantas 747.
Plenty of leg room at seat 1A as we fly over the Great Southern Ocean prior to arriving at the Continent.
There was great excitement as we flew over the Antarctic coast and saw huge massive icebergs floating out to sea.
Captain Dennis lowered the plane to around 10,000 feet and we flew figure eights over the continent for four hours.
In the first picture below the cone shaped mountain behind the huge massive glacier is Mount Melbourne.
In the last picture below you can see the two ice runways of one of the bases on Antarctica.
MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 2007:
We toasted champagne at midnight, the band played Auld Lang Syne & the flight continued over the ice until 2:00am.
Words can't describe this experience.
After over 12 hours in the air we returned to where we started as the sun rose over Sydney.
