Antarctica C-17 Operation Deep Freeze
Antarctica C-17 Operation Deep Freeze poster art.
This poster is dedicated to the men and women who support Operation DEEP FREEZE in Antarctica.
On 21 October 1956, a US Air Force C‑124 landed in Antarctica after a 12½-hour flight from Christchurch, New Zealand initiating the Air Force’s participation in one of its longest running missions. Today, that mission is carried on primarily by US Airforce C17 Globemaster III’s manned by both active and reserve flight crews of the US Air Force, and the LC-130 Skiers of the New York Air National Guard.
The “Spirit of Antarctica” celebrates the 65th anniversary of that flight by paying homage to all the Active, Reserve and National Guard flight crews who have participated, and celebrates all who have come to the Ice seeking adventure and supporting Science in one of the harshest environments on earth.
