Aerosoft Antarctica Vol. 1 - British Rothera and Beyond MSFS 2024

Rothera is undeniably one of the most remarkable locations in Antarctica. Set on a rocky outcrop beneath massive glaciers and mountains, the station is bordered by sea on three sides, with the peaks of the Antarctic Peninsula stretching across the eastern horizon.

Its signature runway sits snugly between the station hangars and the sea at both ends, complete with a road crossing and working traffic lights, reminiscent of a colder, more secluded Gibraltar.

To complement the main station, this package also includes two remote British field outposts further south: Fossil Bluff and Sky Blu. Together, these three locations provide an authentic setting for polar operations, perfectly suited to aircraft like the Twin Otter.
