A Boeing 787 Dreamliner carrying 45 passengers successfully landed in Antarctica — a first for that model.
The widebody plane landed on a 3,000-yard-long landing strip of blue ice.
Landing on the seventh continent is challenging due to the harsh weather and lack of infrastructure.

Aviators have hailed a successful flight to Antarctica as a world first when a Boeing 787 Dreamliner touched down at Troll Airfield on Wednesday night.
