So I found out the C17 I flew in on two days ago lands a on sea ice runway! Later in the season, after some dethawing, they’ll have to move the airfield to the Pegasus runway which is located on a blue ice glacier Also later in the season, barges will be able to come right up to McMurdo, with the initial help of a Swedish ice breaker. They will tie up to a pier made of ice that has been reinforced with steel beams.
