    These flights also raise a lot of money for Mawson's Huts, which were erected in 1911 by an Australian exploration team. They are very historic and are very famous amongst Australians. During these flights, the people working at one of the Australian research bases down there often come out and wave at the plane.

    I took a QANTAS scenic flight of Antactica on the 18th of February 1979 on Boeing 747; it was spectacular. I had recently turned twenty-five, and it was my first flight.🛫That was forty-five years ago - how time gets away. I'm an old man of seventy-years now.🤔 ...... and it cost me $200!😂

      Spring chicken you are. I'm finally going on 9 February 2025. I had the opportunity to do it on a 747 back in January 1997. The flight was actually on my birthday, Jan 20. And I passed it up. I've regretted that. I decided to do it a few years ago but couldn't because I wasn't vaccinated. But I'm booked on now. And mine is a Sunday flight as well. Flying with me will be unopened letters and first day covers cancelled at Australian Antarctic Territory research stations from the 50's and 60's and sent to Australia. I'll be flying them over Antarctica again for the first time in 70 years...

    The base you flew over (at 19:58) is Casey Station. It is the Antarctica base of Australia. You can see it in google maps. I spent some time there a few years back, incredible place and the Aussies were wonderful. (I'm USA) Given that it's an Australian airline, I'm pretty shocked they didn't announce what you were seeing...

    Sometimes inter continental flights in the southern hemisphere make use of jet streams over the Antarctic for improved economy by flying south and one gets to see the ice if the flight is during southern hemisphere summer, quite a treat.

    Antarctica flight indeed must be very exciting.

    Thanks for the video, usually after watching a Kuga video I’m like… “I want to do that!” This experience? Mehhh.. not so much. Ice view only half the trip, wing view, no penguins, 🐧. If I’m going to Antarctica, I want to be ON Antarctica! One night Glamping with penguins count me in!

    • @TheGreatLordDufus
      @TheGreatLordDufus Месяц назад

      haha yeah, I get that, I want to go back to the continent while I'm still physically able - it is so expensive though, and the landings are kept short on tourist ships. The flight would still be cool though, a different perspective.

    • @JustinWatson23
      @JustinWatson23 Месяц назад

      yeah given the good seats with decent views on these flights are almost as much as gthe cheapest 10 day tours of Antarctica, i went and did the whole ship cruise down there to see the Penguins. Certainly and experience worth having, but these flights are different, mostly as you see the expanse of the continent from the air. i just don't think they are worth it.

    If we take a similar flight-path next season, I'm hoping we go a touch beyond 80 degrees south. I want to see the beginning of the Transantarctic Mountains and the Drygolski Ice Tongue. Mt Erebus would be good. And the Ross Ice Shelf. I'm sure it will be an eyeful and a dream come true...

    Hi, Kuga. I have been enjoying your videos for years but this is my first comment of any length. I love catching a glimpse of whatever stylish wristwatch you are wearing. I for one would enjoy it if you gave us a little “wristwatch check” in your voyages to show us what you are wearing. Seems like it wouldn’t be out of place if it was a time stamp for departure or arrival time, etc. Happy travels. -Bo

    I regret I have not kept up with your travels, I have suffered many unfortunate life experiences.
    Anyway, I enjoyed your Antarctic flight.
    I have wanted to do this for many years, but now, I'd have to go first class, because of my health, my legs must be raised all the time now, so economy would cause me terrible problems.
    Anyway, congratulations on achieving your goal, and thank you very much for showing Antarctica!
