(sorry this is a long one )Here is an American vehicle to balance out all this Soviet equipment. The Antarctic snow cruiser was a wheeled vehicle used in Byrd's second Antarctic expedition. The snow cruiser featured living room for 5 people , a small airplane for exploration , a photographic dark room and onboard equipment to change tires without needing to leave the vehicle. The vehicles two fatal flaws were the fact that it used smooth balloon tires to stop them getting stuck in snow which let the cruiser to not have any friction on ice and that while it weighed 34000kg , it only used two 150hp engines and so was abandoned in 1940. Many people say it should have been abandoned before it even went to Antarctica because it ran of the road and became stuck on the way to its ship. In the next few decades the cruiser was spotted occasionally under multiple layers of ice and snow , marked by a bamboo pole. In the 60s an Antarctic ship saw the little America 3 station ( the station where the cruiser was abandoned ) buried in the side of a drifting iceberg. So today , it is probably lying at the bottom of the Antarctic sea. Comrades , it seems the Soviets have beat the Americans on this one.
