In early December I took a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica with White Desert<\/a>. Over the past couple of months I\u2019ve been publishing the videos that came out of that trip on the Flightradar24 YouTube channel<\/a> and social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n You may have caught some or all of those videos but we thought we\u2019d bring them all together here in one post, in case you may have missed some. And we thought it would be nice to put up some of the photos from the trip and to tell you a little more about it all.<\/p>\n The trip was so special not only because it\u2019s such a rare and incredible privilege to go to Antarctica, but also because of all the incredible aviation experiences it included.<\/p>\n From the Hi Fly A340-300 flight to the blue ice runway at Wolf\u2019s Fang (WFR\/AT98)<\/a>, to the Basler BT-67 and Twin Otter flights within the seventh continent (operated by Enterprise Aviation Group<\/a>), right down to seeing how they make an airport operation work in the kind of conditions faced at Wolf\u2019s Fang, and what it takes to get the runway ready for a big jet. It was all simply stupendous.<\/p>\n The first big bit of fun was flying on what was essentially a private A340-300 (operated by Hi-Fly for White Desert) down to the ice runway at Antarctica. Among my top flights ever.<\/p>\n![\"Antarctica](\"https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DSC06031-1024x684.jpg\")
