Basler at Halley International Airport

062/366

At the end of the Antarctic Summer Season most organisations either completely cease their operation or significantly scale down. One of those organisations operating here is ALCI who provide logistics and air transport services for many bases. ALCI operate a number of aircraft, with the most iconic being the Basler Turbo BT-67 - a modernised version of the DC-3 and C-47. This week two of those aircraft came to Halley on their way from the Russian station Novolazarevskaya to Canada. They will make several more stops on the way, and their journey will take them about two weeks.
