Sad news today. A flight in Antarctica to the South Pole has gone missing. For me this is sad news. It is unlikely I knew the men on the flight but still... after having flown over those treacherous skies it darkens my heart. My prayers go out to the men who, if landed, are suffering truly horrible weather. They have the training and supplies to survive if they landed ok.
