The remains of a doomed Antarctic plane, buried beneath layers of ice and snow, await those willing to do a bit of digging.
Description
ON OCTOBER 8, 1970, THE pilots of the Pegasus, a C-121 Lockheed Constellation plane, knew they had a problem. A fierce storm was ravaging the air above Antarctica. But they were forced to fly onward, a lack of fuel making it impossible for them to boomerang back to New Zealand.
Now, anyone who happens to find themselves near the McMurdo Station can try to take a trip to the crash site. The Pegasus is still there, resting beneath a blanket of snow. Most of the plane is usually covered by layers of ice and snow, though people do like to unbury it to take photographs or carve their names onto its exterior.
