Comments:
Some interesting effects on the beach at the foot of the cliffs near Palmer Station if you have a ground vehicle - some of the waves are in the sky creating a weird aurora effect.Flew IFR in the dusk from SAWB to NZOA, great sunset scenery, beautifull colors. Approach very tricky due to no runway or airport lighting and no visual reference points. -Chris
nice work.
there are more kind of rwy in the peninsula.
Rothera (British Antarctic Survey)
Parodi (located in Patriot Hill) ice rwy
Carvajal (like palmer but abandoned)
Mount Vinson (used by Adv. network, very very risky but nice)

in the NZ0B air strip it shows a plain of snow at the end of the reun way but if you just taxi past the end you crash into snow water
it is very cool
