Summary[edit]

Description
English: Heavy equipment operators at the Phoenix Airfield near McMurdo Station pull a weight cart with 160,000 pounds of weight in it to compact the snow to the hardness of concrete. This allows heavy wheeled jets to land on the compacted snow runway. To learn more about this unique airfield, read Phoenix Rising in the Antarctic Sun.
