This view from the port side of the DC-8 shows Antarctica's Pine Island Bay on October 20. The weather wasn't always this favorable. Bad weather over an Antarctic survey area caused the final data flight, scheduled for November 21, to be scrubbed, as were a number of earlier flights. The Ice Bridge team flew its last science mission November 18, conducting a low-level survey of Thwaites Ice Shelf in West Antarctica.
