Current transportation systems for Antarctic inland stations operated by the U.S.A., France, Germany and Japan
Inland traverses conducted by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) and the other countries (USA, France and Germany) are reviewed. The performances such as weight, traction force, speed and fuel consumption of the tractors and snow vehicles are compared. The usage of various types of sl...
