    Icelandair's 42 hours flight to Antarctica and home again

    The charter flight included offloading provisions for the research station's staff who will remain at Troll this winter, and to pick up scientists returning to Norway

    In its presentation, Icelandair says it usually flies closer to the Arctic Circle, but on this occasion, the trip was 4 days and 42 flight hours from the top of the world to the bottom, and home again. On Friday, February 26, an Icelandair Boeing 767 (TF-ISN), landed at Troll airfield (QAT) at the Troll research station operated by the Norwegian Polar Institute in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica.
