A rare, daring mission is underway in Antarctica to rescue one, but possibly two sick crew members at the frigid, isolated and dark Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right now, two propellor-driven DeHavilland Twin Otter aircraft are on the ground at the British Antarctic Survey’s\u00a0<\/span>Rothera\u00a0base,\u00a0located on the Antarctic Peninsula.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once a window of favorable weather conditions appears, one of the planes will fly south in complete darkness and extreme cold, to the South Pole Station. The other plane will remain at Rothera, ready to launch a rescue mission should the first plane go down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
