That's because aircraft need to carry enough fuel to fly back to their departure airport, and directly flying to the south pole is nearly impossible considering the fuel restriction.

I never knew about Antarctica tourism until I studied abroad in Argentina as a university student when I met two people in my language school who visited Antarctica. A few weeks later I visited Ushuaia and got to see a ship coming from Antarctica, and that was the day I was determined to visit the seventh continent. I’m jealous of your travel, but I am so happy to see this content from you Sam, showing the aviation aspect of Antarctica. Cheers to you!

I just couldn’t believe the clarity of landscape, & light. The sunset shots panning over ‘Wolf’s Fang’ was just absolutely magical & memorable. Thank you Sam. (P.S.

Amazing video and what an absolute dream to go down there! Last week I flew some customers from San Diego (20C) to Mammoth (-9C) and only had my Jeans and my Sweater on. Ir made me chuckle when I saw you and all the passengers with all the extreme winter gear for cold weather with only -8C. However I was only outside for maybe 15 minutes before heading into the FBO - so there is that.

The Air New Zealand DC10 crash into Mount Erebus is still fresh in my memory and a reminder how dangerous flying in a all white environment is. Many younger folk won't know about that major jet crash that killed all onboard in 1979. The weird huts you see down there is a peek into the future of Sydney housing. Interesting to see the pilot struggling with the low midnight sun. It's all amazing but the risks down there are many.
