Welcome to Argentina’s Historic Antarctic Flights
Each aircraft featured in this microsite represents a defining chapter in Argentina’s presence in Antarctica. From the pioneering flights that opened routes across an unknown territory, to the logistical and scientific missions that sustain our presence on the White Continent, Argentine aviation —both Navy and Air Force— helped shape the aeropolitical and scientific history of the southernmost region of the country.
Every recorded flight is part of a technological and human epic, where ingenuity, courage, and a deep sense of duty made science, exploration, and continuous presence in Antarctica possible.
Across eight decades, the flights of the Argentine Navy and Air Force tell a story of challenges, discoveries, and sovereignty. From early seaplanes to modern polar transport aircraft, each machine opened routes, supported bases, strengthened scientific missions, and carried out rescues that remain etched in Antarctic memory.
This microsite invites you to explore that legacy — aircraft by aircraft, flight by flight.
