Canadian plane lands in Chile completing South Pole rescue mission

                                         
A Canadian-owned Twin Otter turboprop plane landed in Punta Arenas, Chile in the evening, completing its South Pole rescue mission.
The plane, which left the Rothera earlier in the day, was carrying two sick workers from a remote U.S. science outpost.

The two patients will be transported to a local medical facility for treatment.
The workers had been brought to a British station on the edge of Antarctica by a crew in a second Canadian Twin Otter after they were picked up earlier at the Amundsen-Scott research post at the pole.
Both Twin Otter planes are owned by Calgary-based Kenn Borek Air.
