It’s time to leave Antarctica and head home after 8 incredible days on the 7th continent with White Desert. That means we’re greeting the inbound A340-300 (operated by Hi-Fly) as it lands at Wolf’s Fang Runway on a beautiful bluebird day with almost no wind. Then it’s time to climb onboard and make the 5.5 hour trek back to South Africa.
The takeoff from the blue ice runway at Wolf’s Fang is almost as incredible and exciting to watch as the landing was. We’ll show you what it’s like onboard the flight, including the amazing service from the fantastic cabin crew, and then we’ve got one more treat in store as we make an unusual approach from the southwest of Cape Town meaning we have epic views of the entire peninsula from the Cape of Good Hope right up to always epic Table Mountain and Lion’s Head, before making a right turn for landing into CPT.
