The Pegasus blue ice runway is the farthest and least-used of McMurdo Station's three frozen airstrips. Named after the wrecked C-121J Lockheed Constellation "Pegasus".
Located some 27 km from McMurdo Station at 166°35' E in latitude 78° S where the transition between snow accumulation and ablation, this runway is used when Williams Field and the sea ice runway are not operational.
