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

Rothera is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable locations in Antarctica. The station is situated on a rocky promontory beneath immense glaciers and mountains, surrounded by the sea on three sides, while the peaks of the Antarctic Peninsula stretch across the eastern horizon.

The distinctive airstrip is tightly nestled between the station’s hangars and the sea at both ends, complete with a road crossing and functioning traffic lights. It evokes the feeling of a colder, more remote Gibraltar.

As a complement to the main station, this package also includes two remote British outposts farther south: Fossil Bluff and Sky Blu. Together, these three locations provide an authentic setting for polar operations and are perfectly suited for aircraft such as the Twin Otter.
