Default ICE flights...

Antarctic summer season is now open (October to March).

Last week, heard ICE-zero-seven. This morning, I heard ICE-zero-nine, on
8867 kHz to Auckland, then on 9032 kHz to Auckland then to "McMurdo Ops"
also on 9032 kHz (all USB.)

Flights are from Christchurch New Zealand to the ice runway (whose
orientation literally changes with the wind) at McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
