    I have been to a talk given by the man responsible for the care of the Australian ice runway at the Davis Antarctic base. There is a massive amount of care that goes into ensuring that the runway is kept in a pristine state; for example, a single drop of oil can cause a hole 1.5 metres across and 0.5 of a metre deep to develop in 24 hours because of the extra heating from the sun that it attracts so all vehicles going to the runway have to be decontaminated before being allowed onto the airstrip precinct. Braking action on the ice runway is actually quite good and the Australian runway does have GPS approaches but they have to be recalibrated every so often as the runway is built on a glacier and it is moving.

    I think that's pretty cool. However, at 4:45 into the video, down at the bottom left of the screen, what should we see but an ancient Douglas DC-3. While I can't really see all that close up, I'm going to suggest that it's probably a Basler conversion. Flying since before WWII into the 21st century. Sure, it's cool to see the A340 being there, but the DC3 speaks volumes in and of itself.

Seats are spaced 2-4-2 in economy. And Lufthanza has it set up with the bathrooms and a bar downstairs so that economy passengers can take a break from their seats.
