Excellent mate! 🇦🇺 On February 18, 1979 I flew over Antarctica on a QANTAS 747 - a remarkable experience that never left my mind. Over forty years later I am privilaged to enjoy your video, triggering exceptional memories. Stay safe, and God bless you. 💐

My father flew to Scott base in 1969 on a Lockheed Constellation from Christchurch .US Air force Deep Freeze, 4 engines piston powered .I was only a boy then. I remember looking up at the plane when I was at school, as it made it's way toward the ice knowing my Dad was on board. The sound it made as it droned across the sky. He flew back on the first of the C-130's . Still have some footage of the low flying stuff they did back then in the new Hercules. 50' above the ice at over 200 knots .

Nice one! Yes they are cool planes! The first year I went down on an Airbus A319 and it was a stunning flight because it had windows, but the C17 was probably the more real experice. The Ski Herc is the most real experience however because that take 3 extra hours and has a high chance of turning around and you fly 8 hours and land back in Christchurch where you started!

Hey. I wintered over at South Pole in 93/94. Even back then the Ross ice shelf was thining and I thought that they wouldn't be landing planes on their for long. I wonder where they now land the C-141 that you were flying?
@WildKiwiAdventurer
@WildKiwiAdventurer 5 жыл бұрын
Hey! I bet winter at pole was an experience you will never forget. They still land all the planes I gliding the C17 on the Ross Ice Shelf. The ice is plenty think enough. They don't land them on the sea ice any more just because of logistics on maintaining the sea ice runway each year. The C17 needs a minimum of 1.8m thick of sea ice to land on. We still het that every year, but they just focus on the one runway now for wheels planes and one for skiplanes.

The Australian Antarctive Division also runs a chartered Airbus A319 service from Hobart to the Wilkins ice runway during the summer months. It's a modified aircraft with extra tank space so it can tanker the return fuel (don't need to refuel in Antarctica). There are a few KZbin videos on this, and they're fascinating. Fortunately it only takes service personnel down there, no tourists to keep the environment as pristine as possible.

These days, rather then the well-documented 'thousand yard stare' as a symptom of PTSD, you'd suspect Parkinson's Disease (but the guy is generally too young), or MG (myasthaenia gravis). Overall though, I think this guy just displays NZ South Island toughness, although I get that people can find the non-blinking somewhat odd or different. My money is on the latter - these people really are tough, and built differently when it comes to extreme cold! Or perhaps he's just really concentrating on his video, and suppressed his blink-reflex in the cold to finish it.

Thanks for your comment! Glasses: Party to do with the wind but mostly to do with the extreme level of UV light from the ozone hole above Antarctica. If you dont wear eye wear outside for like 20 mins in snowy areas you will get snow blind. And that hurts!! And its bad for you long term as well. The snow slowly turns to ice as it gets deeper. Around base its just one metre or two. On the Ross Ice shelf the Snow/ice can be up to 700m deep and on the continent it can be a few kilometers thick

Why do 3rd world people always ask this stuff without doing any research first? It's like call-center spamming: do no work yourself, spam a hundred people, and see if they respond. He's not a tour guide. Do your own research, but be aware, you'll never land there on a plane (these are always official/government trips for the bases). The tourist trips (that only touch the tips of Antarctica from its shores) are probably way too expensive for you (starting at about USD $10k and moving up), but there are plenty of travel agencies that manage this - google and call them up, but be aware, the cost is likely to be prohibitive for most Sri Lankans. It ain't cheap for westerners as well, consequently the 'tours' are full of people in their 60s who can afford $10K to $50K merely to 'set foot' on Antarctica, not go anywhere near the South Pole (if that's your thing).

Even asking that question on KZbin of all places suggests you have zero chance @Shaik Mahaboob. It's not like some job you apply for like a job in a call center, a programming shop, or an Uber Eats driver - these people are seriously into Antarctica and have the formal qualifications to back that up. The people that work there have formal qualifications in cold-weather environments, ecology, environmental medicine or a trade that is useful down there (for example boiler makers). Plus there's the psychological component: you need to demonstrate you can mentally handle being away from civilization for months at a time, while simultaneously being able to get along with a very disparate group of people who you are living in very close proximity to. It's very competitive, with a stringent selection process and tons of outstanding candidates (who mostly don't get selected). Even this videos author says he lived 2 days away from an actual road - which I guess the selectors thought is the perfect background to go to Antarctica and contribute to the program! Aussies and Kiwis who live miles away from towns and services are ideal candidates - they're self-sufficient, don't mind their own company, and completely practical - as long as they're not nuffies or crazy as well.

Look closer at my videos. This is not a tour. I work with with the New Zealand government and we have a joint logistics pool with the NSF for their science work in Antarctica. They give us seats on flights and we give them a base to stage their Antarctic program out of in Christchurch, the gateway city to Antarctica.

LOL 'tours' - it's hardly a tour - these people are down there to work, using their scientific know-how to understand more about this continent. To think it's anything remotely like a tour is just laughable.

Spoiled kids today. Back in 2003 I flew in a C-141 down and C-130 back. Built character, it did! Just kidding, I'd give my left arm to go again (but then I wouldn't pass the medical with only one arm). And yes, the music is abominable!

Haha they still fly the C-130s, just not early season so I haven't been on one yet. Did you know they can even fit a helicopter inside the C-130 if they have to for a search and rescue mission.

Sure, you can go to designated areas only, but you never get to see the secret land the elites are hiding. Byrd told everyone, but you know how short peoples attention spans are now days. I wonder why they are not chemtrailing Antarctica like they do over all the populated areas. Then people wonder why everything is melting faster? it is certainly not because of global warming, the government is the only one doing any major " climate change". This is all by design, it won't be long now.

@faithisme speaks Why don’t you apply for a job with one of the Antarctic divisions? What relevant skills do you have? If you have ever deployed there, you would soon learn that you are spouting utter nonsense. Byrd didn’t go beyond the South Pole, which is most of East Antarctica land mass. That area is now well covered with research stations, and multiple vehicle/flight crossings. The year is 2019, not the 1940’s. Do yourself a favour and get out more.

@sanitman1 yes everyone is aloud to go off station if the weather is Not a blizzard. There are hiking and skiing trails around for a few km. Beyond that are dangerous crevasses and people have died in the past so most people are Not aloud beyond that. I worked as a field guide so my job was to take scientists all over the Ross sea area. The furtherest I went was 700km up north to cape adare collecting penguin poo samples with some scientists. My job was to keep them safe from crevasses, weather, rockfall and whatever other hazards are out there.
