Gotta love the 757. Hot rod of the skies and one of the best looking aircraft ever made.

[@ishowyoudavid1142]

the 757 is a pencil shut up

[@pm9601]

757 is the worst plane ever made by Boeing! That includes the current Max aircraft! Great video though of an Antarctic ice runway landing

VERY NICE LANDING.! Instead of “butter” with all that ice it was a “Smoothie” landing.👌

This landing is nothing short of amazing! Great video!

Bro buttered that landing on ice 😮

[@NeoRipshaft]

absolutely gorgeous approach - also both what appears to be an extremely good landing but also kinda intense lol

[@dogmandan79]

I wouldn’t expect anything less from an Iceland Air 757

[@koppilork]

Strange, it would make sense to have Iceland air landing in the north pole, not the south.

[@redblade8160]

@@koppilork Why strange?

[@vanpenguin22]

The cold dense air that offers mucho lift. It would be cool to have an experiment to find the difference in stall speed for a given model between say, there and perhaps Goldwater Intl, at mid day in mid July

[@ThyPredator]

Why experiment, boeing has all those values, they are in the extended flight manual if you wanna look it up. Use some math, plug in air temperature, humidity and current baro pressure and reference the manual.

[@vanpenguin22]

@ThyPredator Should have guessed. Still, Sounds like an amusing thing to toy with in a low stakes environment such as with rc models, IMO

[@redblade8160]

@vanpenguin22 Of course, it's cool; what do you expect it to be like in the Antarctic?

Excellent what camera did you use ?

[@ramyg5037]

Is there even a tarmac? I guess not...😅Anyways what season was this at? late spring? summer? early fall?

[@KariIzumi1]

Given the sin doesn't appear to be directly overhead, I would have to say spring is most likely

[@thwalesproductions]

considering upload date, probably summer as its summer in the southern hemisphere right now

[@samiamgreeneggsandham7587]

Where’s the nearest divert field?😅

[@clqudy4750]

Gonna guess...South America? Or just keck into one of those mountains.

[@TechSavy-je4tp]

There's quite a number of bases and runaways on Antarctica, the south pole runaway looks closer from BlueIce on a map but a map doesn't account for the curvature of the Earth.

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

Flying between Hawaii and the west coast of North America is the only time when you won’t have a nearest divert field. At least four hours over the Pacific Ocean.

[@frankgrimesification]

Likely Auckland being that most of the Antarctic flights are to/from New Zealand.

[@frankgrimesification]

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast Being that most (if not all) of the flights between the west coast and Hawaii are on twin engines, their still has to be airports to divert to that fall within ETOPS parameters, otherwise the flights wouldn't be legal.

[@kidconsumer2411]

A beautiful plane in a just s beautiful place!

[@redblade8160]

@kidconsumer2411 Looks the same as most twin-engine planes.

Very cool 😎. And the 757 did it😁😁 now do a take off

[@redblade8160]

@heroknaderi Of course it's "very cool". Do you expect it to be very warm in the Antarctic?

It´s a Charter flight from ALE (Antarctica Logistics and Expeditions) - there was no seat number. Find all infos on the website of ALE - they have many different Expeditions with different pricing.

Polar bears don’t live in Antarctica
