We were scheduled to be on the US air force flight C17 to McMurdo leaving at 7.30 am. A shuttle took us to the same place where we did our clothing. We were required to wear the Cold Weather gear. After the security check in they showed us film about Antarctica and the dangers involved in this adventure. We were then taken to C17 by a bus. This loud hippo (Airbus 330-200) can land on ice (of course it needs a longer runway). We enjoyed the five hour journey in its enclosed belly at the end of which we were treated with the breath-taking views of this end of the planet..
