Yes hats off. Damned impressive.
....there have now been 3 landings at Pole during the winter, two were early or late when there was still a bit of light in the sky. I believe only one was in total darkness - this one is going to be pretty close to mid-winter.
Would seem (Very sensibly) this mid winter flight may be getting timed so as not to occur in the dark. Coordinated with a full moon that last for weeks!
