The cargo jet was chartered by Wolf’s Fang, a new luxury holiday camp at the South Pole, to bring supplies to their tourist resort.
The plane touched down on the icy runway on Tuesday after a 2,800-mile journey taking just over five hours from Cape Town.
The runway at the Wolf Fang resort is designated a C Level airport, meaning that only a highly specialised crew of pilots can fly there due to the extreme conditions.
The blue glacial ice is almost a mile thick and can withstand a fully-laden A340 with no problems.
