Moment Airbus A340 Passenger Plane Lands In Antarctica For The First Time(Pics) by Explorers(op):
This is the incredible moment a pilot became the first to land an Airbus A340 on Antartica.

The cargo jet was chartered by Wolf's Fang, a new luxury holiday camp at the South Pole, to bring supplies to their tourist resort.

The plane touched down on the icy runway on Tuesday after a 2,800-mile journey taking just over five hours from Cape Town.

The runway at the Wolf Fang resort is designated a C Level airport, meaning that only a highly specialised crew of pilots can fly there due to the extreme conditions.

The plane is seen coming into land as tents stand at a camp in the South Pole.

The blue glacial ice is almost a mile thick and can withstand a fully-laden A340 with no problems.

It is only expected of developed nations to keep breaking new grounds and making histories positively as it is expected of backward nations who has their highly illiterate ancient of days as their leaders to break new debt records.
Thank you Explorer...
