    Views from a KC-135 Stratotanker cockpit reveal icy plateaus over the Arctic on June 22. A tanker crew from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., flew over the North Pole for the first time June 21 to 22, as part of an “iron swap” mission along a new, more efficient route from Moses Lake, Wash., to the Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan.
