Return to PIG provides an update to PIG Ice Shelf: First Contact http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/goto?10202.
Though NASA researcher Bob Bindschadler had hoped to return to Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf and continue his research during the 2009 season, this video explians how plans hit a snag. Sometimes science takes time, especially when it comes to dealing with the forbidding conditions of Antarctica.

Where are the freaking penguins, damn it?!

Ice still accumulates, right? ailerons, flaps, hydraulics. Isn't that why planes have a glycol de-icer? Without it, you and the rest would crash and burn? Or never even make it of the runway?

Looks like you need to Parachute your way in. Now that's "Extreeeeem style" science work. Thanks for posting. Much appreciated.

well you are kind of a part, by suscribing NASA on Youtube.

It takes moisture in the air to freeze propellers or wings. The air down there is usually very dry. I took part in an expedition to the North Pole, and the planes that flew up there had no problems with icing.

The propellers would probably freeze up. Wow, I want to become part of NASA. To bad its not in Canada.
