It consists of a magnificent polar plateaux, vast mountain ranges and expanses of permanent ice four kilometres deep which never melt.

We are only 3 and a bit hours flight from the south pole,The distance to Antarctica from Sydney is 10,160 kms.  
our Flight from Australia to the South Magnetic Pole just north of the French Base of Dumont d'Urvilleis soon to happen.  
After circling the Base, we will fly east to Cape Hudson, tracking the northern coastline,then flying over Commonwealth Bay, Mawson's Hut and the Mertz Glacier.  
Then we will be Tracking inland over the Transantarctic Range, the magnificent mountains of Victoria Land to Cape Washington, just north of the Ross Ice Shelf and over the Admirality Islands.  
Turning north, we will be flying along the huge coastline of the Ross Sea to Cape Adare, then head to Australia.  
...
But unfortunately we seem to have run into a bit of bother, there seems to be a invisable barrier...
...
We cant seem to pass.............Oh No.......... its ........

On landing one day, I was up at left 1 door saying Goodbye to all 400 Pax, with a hostie beside me on a combi ( combined cargo ) 747.

When this little kid said to me....
“Mr Crewman, What’s up those stairs?”

Quick as a flash my hostie came out with.....

“Heaven! They all think there gods up their "
