Timelapse of a Russian Antarctica Expedition

"Experience what it might be like to go on an expedition to Antarctica through this amazing video journey.

Watch as they unpack an airplane, bolt it together, and fly it around. Apparently an An-2 Cub (worlds biggest biplane I believe)

Later I found these links posted by a commenter on Reddit:

Here’s a basic description of the expedition.

At 4min 30sec someone pointed out a what appeared to be a coffin. Here is a link that seems to confirm that, here’s where the coffin came from.

A remote and isolated place like Antarctica lends itself well to the mysterious. Only accessible by a relatively small number of people. It’s a great place to setup camp if you were an eccentric billionaire scientist."
