Top of the class ATCast. Hobart (YMHB) to McMurdo, Antarctica(NZPG) in an Aussie A319. And, correct, we're not heading to Cape Town - we're going the wrong way for that!

As for the wide body assumption - wrong, but not a bad guess as there aren't too many narrow body Airbii around with the Polar Nav mod.

Departed Hobart shortly after local midnight. Not an everyday occurrence seeing the sun rise like that. It took a lot of mucking around with the exposure to get the right pic, but was worth it in the end.

Pic taken at the dot on this route map.
