Here I am on the Antarctic Plateau at the small skiway site known as Woop Woop as it is in the middle of nowhere. I came up here on a day trip and became stuck for a couple of nights due to weather.
That thing is a BEARCAT and a powerfull one at that and is most likened to a motorbike for the snow. This photo was taken after it was dug out of major blizzard conditions on a fine day on the continent. You will see some photos of a Hagglands and of the Skidoo 'Blizzed in to the point where tey are undriveable. Each vehicle takes over an hour to de-blizz which is a lot of hard worjk with hands in the snow and a shovel. There is a photo of the Sprunkey Van which is rather tiny for 3 people in a Blizzard and it is named after it maker (Sprunky). Another shot of the groomer that was also blizzed in but is at the skiway to groom the runway. lastly there is a shot of some of the 150 barrels of fuel waiting to be used by the planes and helicopters as the Summer continues.
