Antarctica!!!

So finally we return with another entry, and this time it's a good one. We bring you another video showing highlights from our New Year's flight over Antarctica. We had the opportunity to fly over Antarctica and celebrate New Year's in complete daylight. It was a very special flight, and involved the new Airbus A380.
We had all the major news networks covering the event and we were even on TV on two networks. There was also a Jazz band, food and drinks included, talks about what we were seeing and some brief history, and even a passenger with a heart attack (he was ok and got bumped up to business class when one of the doctors traded seats with him). We were encouraged to walk around and not only see the ice from different perspectives, but also to talk to other passengers. There was even a pesky penguin mascot who was very difficult to photograph. Towards the end of the video there is also a photo of our flight path. So enjoy the show.
