Person On Top Of Rocky Peak

A German BGR helicopter used in Terre Victoria to transport geologists to specific research points. These are one-off scientific programs, involving the collaboration of several countries, in this case Germany and Italy. The Germans set up a base camp several dozen kilometers from the Italian Mario Zucchelli station, using Italian logistical resources such as the Laura Bassi icebreaker to transport the helicopter, the equipment needed to set up the base camp, scientific equipment and, of course, personnel. All of this was delivered to the Mario Zucchelli station for onward transport by helicopter to the search site. Victoria Land, Antarctica
