From the window I can see a wonderful landscape of ice and mountains.

To reach its destination, the plane (a Twin Otter) requires a refueling stop at MidPoint. This place is a small strip in the mid point of MZS DMC route. At MidPoint they keep a lot of avio fuel stocked and an insulated container is available if meteorologic conditions trap the plane here. When necessary, the strip is rebuilt using the snowcat.
