"Record-breaking Boeing 787 Dreamliner lands in Antarctica, defying the cold"

TL;DR Summary
Norse Atlantic Airways has achieved a world first by landing a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a glacial 'blue ice runway' in Antarctica. The aircraft, named Everglades, landed at Troll Airfield, which lacks conventional paved runways, making it a groundbreaking milestone in aviation history. The flight carried 45 passengers, including scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute, and transported 12 tons of essential research equipment. The successful landing opens up new possibilities for logistics and strengthens Norwegian research in Antarctica. The Dreamliner's fuel efficiency and cargo capacity make it well-suited for such missions.
