Anthony that'd be a fantastic sight for anybody! Great pic!

I wonder if anybody has any with solid ice/land in sight?

I have some pics of more solid ice and some of bergs, but there is no real aviation theme to them... just very cold water and ice!

I think that the SYD - EZE flights would get some pretty amazing views of it.

You have to remember that that the earth is a sphere, and the quickest straight line route is in fact to fly SW from SYD. :D

Noticed QF63 alongggggg way south again today...must be some nice winds down there...almost touching Antarctica!

The westerlies have been bad lately, my mate flew in a few weeks ago on the Emirates A380 and had a 200kt tailwind!!!!!!

They came down near Perth then accross.

Enjoying watching the QF63 and how far she gets south. Another nice one today...so close to touching the ice...does she ever actually go over mainland Antarctica?

Wow you're a long way from anywhere on that flight. Daniel can I ask what program do you use to get the flight track display like that?

I'll second that. It seems very impressive. I think a while back not sure if it was on the old forum or this one but someone mentioned that they saw glaciers or whatever the really really large floating blocks are lol (geo wasn't one of the subjects i paid attention to at school :p)

And I'll triple it .. whats the fab program ??? Flight Explorer ??

Looks like Sabre Flight Explorer Pro.
