I've flown to/from McMurdo on a total of 4 types of planes... C-17, C130 (kiwi AF), L-100 (Safari, contracted by Italian antarctic program) and LC-130 (to/from pole).

What an experience! Can I ask your role in visiting?

Basically I work on experiments (balloons and in-ice) that are attempting to detect ultra high energy neutrinos interacting in ice sheets via radio.

This continues to be one of the cooler ongoing projects that produces significant, physical results. Good luck finding the special neutrinos!
