Land transport in Antarctica is usually by foot (skis, snowshoes) or vehicles (tracked vehicles like snow mobiles and bulldozers and in the past dog sleds).http://forum.cari.com.my/images/smilies/default/tongue.gif

More pics please :D

Very light traffic on Antartica Route 1. :colgate:

We've already talked about it, but not in a special thread, of course. ;)

I haven't known about this route before, it's very interesting. :)

I also would know more infos about Antarctica route :) sounds interesting...

Once, I saw a photo with "Spanish" N-VII in Antarctica :lol:.

1950s, the americans make ice-Highway, this was a very optimistic era:

I think there is a accident in Route 1 :D

Google "Street" View has some shots from Antarctica :lol: .

^^ Have you noticed that the "little yellow man" you drag around turns into a penguin? :lol:

Hey, there's the McMurdo-South Pole Highway. Would this be the Route 1 in question?

Don't forget the snow chains. Or (as Jeremy Clarkson and James May did, driving to the North Pole) the gin & tonic. :nuts:

Quite funny that this thread was opened precisely 1 year after we first talked about Antarctica's road(s).

This is a nice point, and would have been better if it was 100 % true, but that highway has been mentioned in SSC before that,by myself for instance :lol:

What's so redneck about the Ford? The tracks are actually commercially available and are mounted the same way a regular tyre is.
