That's why they're called Aviators
2014-12-10
On every other continent, atmospheric absorbtion gives us distance cues. In Antarctica, the air is so clear that you can see almost perfectly to the horizon, making distant objects look deceptively close. We're underneath the ozone hole, with perfectly clear weather, and we're flying towards the sun. On top of all that, reflection from the snow practically doubles the amount of light entering the cockpit.
