8. Ice Runway, Antarctica
There’s no tarmac at the Ice Runway. It’s made completely of–you guessed it–ice, and it’s one of three major airstrips used to haul supplies and researchers to Antarctica’s McMurdo Station. Not only do pilots have to deal with extreme weather conditions like snow storms and heavy winds, but they also have to be sure that the weight of the aircraft and cargo doesn’t bust the ice or get the plane stuck in soft snow.
