Airplanes do not fly over Antarctica primarily due to four main reasons:
Weather Conditions:
Antarctica has a hostile climate with some of the world’s most extreme temperatures.
De-icing planes under these conditions is costly and complicated due to electrical heating systems.
Short time windows for de-icing and safe flight make it challenging.
Visibility Issues:
Snowfall and whiteouts reduce visibility.
Pilots must maintain constant contact with ground authorities to navigate safely.
Storms further hinder aerial visibility.
Lack of Infrastructure:
Antarctica lacks towers, airports, or any structures for communication and navigation.
Flying over Antarctica is akin to flying over the ocean, but with even less visibility and no established flight paths.
Navigation Concerns:
Navigating polar regions, including Antarctica, is complicated due to magnetic fields and other factors123.
Despite these challenges, tourist flights to Antarctica are becoming more popular, although they typically don’t involve landing on the continent itself. 🛩️🌏❄️
