Antarctic Airlift: Christchurch Gateway to Antarctica
A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III assigned to the 62d Airlift Wing prepares to land at Christchurch International Airport, New Zealand, to kick off a new rotation of Antarctic airlift missions going on from Christchurch, NZ, to Phoenix Airfield, Antarctica. As one of the world’s five Antarctic gateway cities, Christchurch is an official Antarctic hub and welcomes all national Antarctic programs to use Christchurch as their gateway to Antarctica.
