Out with the Hagglund

The Hugglund BV 206 is one of the main forms of transport we use here. It is a tracked vehicle with a front and a rear section. Each section has driven tracks and it steers by adjusting the angle between the front and the rear section. They are known as Haggs for short.

Today we took two Haggs out to look for a way on the the Antarctic Plateau after the summer melts had changed the slopes. We need a path to get up to the skiway (snow runway) to do maintenance on it.
