Icelandair: from Iceland, with destinations to a literal ice land

@@mergat2970my pops works for icelandair the plane just flies back and forth from chile and antarctica

nah they actually sent a plane to Antarctica its a pretty cool vid

Iceland is literally on the opposite polar too which is ironic

Plot twist. They sent Antarctica to the plane

Yes, because they are responsible for you.

Your individual government is responsible for you, if you go there.

@OhHhKie you won’t get permission, and if you go by yourself, you’ll get turned around, because you know, u might find the edge of the world or smth

​@@snakegriffin4928 there's plenty of videos of people taking their own sailboat to antarctica..some with permission..some never mentioned... Unless you go to the areas frequented by ships in the antarctic summer at one of the dozens of various govt bases and don't need help they would never know you are there. The thing is there is no fuel, food, facilities, or help down there in Amy practical sense...and people that own boats capable of surviving the trip don't tend to want to endanger their vessel by taking such a trip...but very doubtful anyone more than check on you via radio if they see you. Icebergs make radar contacts indistinguishable and the Southern Oceans a bloody big place and too dangerous for all but purpose driven vessel traffic. Ships in the southern ocean are too concerned staying afloat to "police" the area..

​@Norm L. Hugh-Mann like snack griffin said they don't want you finding the edge

Do you pronounce "aunt" as it's spelled or do say "ant"

😂

😂

Auntartica?

That's a good one

Lol

@@hrjr5165 ok

​@H R Jr in your opinion. I think it deserves more likes and comments.

​@@hrjr5165 what's up with the every dots on the end of every single sentence? u had a stroke English teacher trying to be cool or what?

It stopped in Cape Town after 13 hrs from Oslo

I never went to Antarctica but I have flown Iceland air and their a nice airline

the icelandair plane just flies back and forth from chile

Not telling you how I get the money because that’s private. I want to go to Antarctica!

And fly South. You will get there.

You Grady’s brother

They kinda have several. 80% of the place is Australian territory and WE DO HAVE the occasional look-over flight done by New Zealand Air but I think they stopped them.

Da hell how the hell did you think tha5

The difficulty is the lack of ground support, rescue and the extremely hazardous environment. If you crash land In the Antarctic you can freeze to death in minutes outside.

They can’t. The earth is flat.

Good question. Also, to reach the other side of Antarctica one has to fly not across the South Pole but across the North Pole, called the Great Diametric Route. Makes perfect sense and could explain why Icelandic Air has service there as shown. BTW I hear Occam's Razor doesn't work in Flatland.

Maybe check Flight Centre love how they say It in the ads

I agree 💯

But your country is a lie! Iceland is green, Greenland is icey! Also, give me your hakarl!

@@seiyuokamihimura5082 not completely, right now everything is white 60cm+ snow and fun. Hákarl you can have any time ❄️⛄😉

Iceland Air DOESN'T RUN in the Antarctic. It's just stock footage. It's usually Australian military planes down there.

@sveinbjornsveinbjornsson2575 soooooo. That mean you are going to give me your hakarl?

South Pole - penguins North Pole - polar bears 🙃🐨🇦🇺

Well.....the poles are reversing. And the Polish don't care. 🤷‍♂️

Me too! There is no telling what they have going on there

Do your Research, young people. What you discover might . . . .

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Most don't. They carry enough fuel for the round trip, including diversion excess.

They have fuel in Antarctica. If they can store fuel for heat then they can store jet fuel.

Because the scientists came from Europe. Doesn’t make sense to use an australian airline. Especially not when flying into Troll airfield which is on the wrong side of antarctica if you’re in Australia…

Why bother? New Zealand Air used to fly sightseeing flights over it with Boeing 747s...

You have family there ? Who you gonna visit ?

Only American citizens need permission from the U.S. military as it will be them coming to the rescue if something goes wrong.

"what's there" uhh US military bases?

​@@fakename287there are no US military bases in Antarctica, too little supplies and it would break the Antarctic treaty if they did

Satnav

They use gyroscopes for navigation which are not relying on magnetic field and of course satellite navigation,

@@novssightseeing8098 ah okay, thank you

Of course it does. It's not space.

You do know how gravity works, right?

Technically things should weight SLIGHTLY more at the poles then at the equator thanks to the inverse square law and the fact that the equator bulges out and thus places you farther from the Earth's center

Let's not confuse mass with weight...

Be a scientist

Buy one of those overpriced tourist packages

Flew there on Saturday last week. C-17. Just saying.

You get to go there if you get a job to work there

Air Force

There’s plenty of research being done and supplies needed for the people who do inhabit Antarctica whether for NSF work or military or tourism.

Right. Keep Antarctica green!

Actually if you have your own boat (or a plane that can land without a runway) you can go whenever you want, you only need permission from the governments to use the runways that they own

Someone probably found oil there

International treaty preventing any nation from claiming and developing Antarctica, just like the outer space treaty. No one permanently lives there, it’s for peaceful scientific expeditions only.

Because they are the ones already there most of the time and if something happens to you they will most likely be the ones to rescue you.

Because you might wonder into smth they don’t want you to see

You need permission to land on their runways because they use their taxes to maintain them Get your own boat or plane that doesn't need a runway and you can land anywhere that doesn't have a base on it 👍

This^

Good thing they removed the air to air missiles and autocannons from those passenger jets then??

What are you talking about. People go to Antarctica for tourism all of the time.

@@vangu2918 yeah, on a boat about 20miles of off the coast, or land on an adjacent plateau, take some pics with a penguin and be escorted back home. He’s taking about why no private charters or expeditions? Why the military presence that will turn you around within 300miles of the mainland coast? Why the Antarctic treaty?

What’s hilarious to me is NATO apparently has some higher power to answer too.🤣🤣🤣🤣 The cold war, the two atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but we all agree we shouldn’t go to Antartica because the countries bombing each other into oblivion really all actually have a deal to KEEP each other’s secrets.🤣🤣🤣 yeah, that’s logical. The CIA is definitely in cahoots with MI5 and Mossad because of a huge pile of ice at the south pole🤣🤣🤣🤣

The way you just framed your comment is a farce in and of itself. You just essentially made yourself the spokesperson for all that is true and show an OBVIOUS confirmation bias against any answer you don’t FEEL is good enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a joke

​@@vangu2918dude... How can you say this when this short itself states that Antarctica isn't open for tourism? Also... The footage is from the Arctic, not Antarctica. Look at the name of the plane company...
