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.

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?

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 )
