Spent Australia Day yesterday on a 15 hour Qantas charter flight aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner ... Destination Antartica. Pilots and cabin crew were great. Multiple passes 1,000 metres above mountain ranges, glaciers etc, all from different angles.
Superb flying. Words and photos fail abysmally to describe the enormity of scale and sublime majesty of what is earth's largest and driest desert and most hostile environment to life. Various scientists aboard gave fascinating expert commentary as to how the continent holds many clues and keys to enhanced sustainability of life however for our entire planet.
