Superb place. nice find. Well done boys
Tourist landing area in summer
Was part of an Antarctic research vessel/cruise that allowed guests to walk around the area for a few hours and observe the thousands of Gentoo penguins there. A waterplane was observed coming in as we departed that evening, very easy to see, access and was a lot warmer that I had anticipated.
Why?
Can you provide a list of names of airports on the opposite coastline of Antarctica? And why can't Google Maps display satellite photos or views on the south pole, when it can clear be seen using Google Earth Pro? Makes no sense at all!
re: The airfield
Hi, nice place.
Who knows the range of the NDB at Rothera please? (ROT for EGAR).
Thank you.
The airfield

re: NDB Noexistant
Thank you — I've deleted the NDB and added the traffic frequency.
NDB Noexistant
The NDB listed has not existed on station since sometime prior to 2000.
Ski-way is a safe area on the Glacier used only for critical med-evac flights.
Ski-way is not established until needed, no markings in place.
Station does monitor 118.1 MHz

re: (SAWB)
Hi, I will be seeing you there Dec/Jan :)
Can you please inform me of the weather conditions at that time?
Re: wrong location
Fixed! All it needed was a "-".
wrong location
the base is not in the right place on the map, it is actually on the antarctic peninsula, not in the middle of the southern ocean!
Plane Crash - Canadian Pilot - Bruce Allcorn (now deceased)
What was the final out come (legal action? Plane failure?) with respect to this specific plane crash? My email address is

RUNWAY 29---VFR---290º
AT THE END OF THE WORLD
THAT COULD BE THE TITTLE OF A BEST SELLER BUT IS NOT. IT IS A REAL PLACE!
LET ME TELL YOU THAT I NEVER BEEN THERE BUT I HAVE TALKED TO A LOT OF CHILEAN AIRMEN THAT HAVE FLEW TO THAT MAGIC PLACE.
THE IMAGES YOU SEE NOW ARE QUITE DIFFERENTS DURING THE WINTER. THE SNOW COVER EVERYTHING AND LANDING WITH A "HERCULES" C-130 IS A BIG DEAL. PILOTS AND CREW MEMBERS ARE HIGHLY TRAINED TO ACHIEVE THIS TASK.
VISITORS TO "VILLA LAS ESTRELLAS" , THE VILLAGE WHERE CHILEAN AIRMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVE THE WHOLE YEAR, CAN GO DURING THE SUMMER SEASON ( SOUTH HEMISPHERE ) ONLY BY HIRING SPECIAL TOURS.
IS AN EXPENSIVE TOUR BUT YOU MUST TRY, BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
re: this is a cool airport
I've moved it to the correct lat/lon.
this is a cool airport
it is the middle of now where!!!
No photo or map
Unfortunately, Google Maps cannot display a location right on the poles, so (as of 2007-12-17) there's no map or satellite picture available for the South Pole Station.
(SAWB)
I call this airport home.
Is there a runway?

I do not see a runway, but it could just be my eyes.
