Why is the SCAR planning flights in sections as follows? Could it be due to the fact that the distance is too much for one flight? Notice how the planning map just deletes the area in the bottom left. Why? Were these flights flown yet? Where did they land and take off?

The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is an inter-disciplinary committee of the International Council for Science (ICSU). SCAR is charged with initiating, developing and coordinating high quality international scientific research in the Antarctic region (including the Southern Ocean), and on the role of the Antarctic region in the Earth system. The scientific business of SCAR is conducted by its Standing Scientific Groups which represent the scientific disciplines active in Antarctic research and report to SCAR.
why ? because this area is made up to fit for the globe surface, no one touch it, and maybe only nasa know the topography of this area. If you add more ross sea to enlarge this area, on a circle map it will fit perfectely without distortion as the ae map do from the globe projection. That's why you never reach the perfect antarctica map all around. It miss a huge part here to complete the entire real circle.
