How Low Will We Fly?
When over Antarctica we fly at approximately 10,000 feet or 2,000 feet above the highest ground within 100 nautical miles. This altitude provides excellent viewing while still respecting the wildlife habitats at sea level.
But if the pilots as a group start flying down to..... oh, I don't know, 1500 feet, and one of them hits rising ground they didn't expect to be there and didn't see because of the low cloud cover, it's NOT THEIR FAULT.
