To explore the Antarctic Continent thoroughly would remain one of toughest challenges for mankind! The early explorers deserve great credit for their discovery as the only way they managed to hit the continent were on foot. At the same time we need to hail the technological evolvements which now make the task of exploration a piece of cake (compared to what the early explorers faced) with the advent of the machines such as the Lotus Ice Vehicle. Prior to this innovation, I believed that the Hyanide with its ability to conquer any design was the best choice but the Ice Vehicle has gone one up with its ability to fly courtesy of a propeller intact. On the ground or rather more specifically the ice, it succeeds in conquering greater area at a good speeds because of the three spiked feet that also assure great braking when required. To make it a potent machine altogether, it even comes affixed with an ice-radar which would come in handy when the propeller comes into action severely. More Images and Video after the Jump.
