AN RAF Atlas has performed one of the most southerly missions the service has flown in recent years over the icy frozen wastelands of Antarctica. The A400M deployed to Punta Arenas in Chile as a staging post then went on to meet the 1312 Flt Voyager, based at the Mount Pleasant Complex on the Falkland Islands, where it took on 18 tonnes of fuel. Continuing beyond the 79th parallel, the Atlas made it to Union Glacier Camp at 10,000ft for a reconnaissance mission and return to Punta Arenas. The sortie surveyed the blue ice runway that serves the outpost in the Heritage Range of Ellsworth mountains in support of the British Antarctic Survey, as part of Operation Austral Endurance.
