Trafficability of Snow, Greenland Studies, 1955 and 1957
Self-propelled, towing, and towed tests were conducted with several wheeled and tracked military vehicles on a variety of fine-grained and wet coarse-grained snow conditions. The 1955 tests were conducted at various sites on or adjacent to a 220-mile-long, marked trail leading from the edge out onto...
