Twin Otter

In the second half of our field deployment, the DC-3 was committed with other field programmes. Instead, the Mario Zuchelli Station based Twin Otter proved also highly efficient in picking up ice core boxes, passengers and remaining cargo. The communication with the crew at Mario Zuchelli Station was at times difficult from the field site because of radio problems on our site, and assistance from Scott Base was much appreciated. We are also grateful for the professional and friendly assistance of staff at Mario Zuchelli Station and the Twin Otter crew
