6 MAR 07: ICEBERG AHEAD!

THIS amazing photo shows Polarfirst helicopter pilot, Jennifer Murray, landing on an iceberg near Vernadsky in Antarctica.

Jennifer exclusively told LOOP, "An iceberg is definitely not an ideal place to land and we did so with huge caution! Landing on a pinnacle like this meant we had to cope with both updrafts and downdrafts.

"Given the instability of ice and the fact that the iceberg could break up at any minute, we just touched down with our skids and we were really just hovering on the ice."

The helicopter is currently being serviced in Buenos Aires following their successful flight to the South Pole. Follow their journey to the North Pole online.
