With any luck a few more years of global warming will leave Antarctica fit for beach volleyball and we won't need
this sort of thing anymore, but a team at the Royal College of Art in London, in collaboration with the British
Antarctic Survey, have developed a new two-person vehicle dubbed "Ninety Degrees South" that's designed for exploring
the one continent that doesn't yet have a McDonalds. The Ninety Degrees South can operate on ice and snow without a
problem and also comes with a smaller GPS-controlled companion unit that's supposed to scout out the terrain up
ahead.
[Thanks, Mike]
That and the thing looks darn cool.
"the one continent that doesn’t yet have a McDonalds."
Shh! Don't put any ideas in their head.
LOL...yeah
Ahaha! LOL... Thanks for the inspiration :)
WOW...That looks like something right out of WipeOut.
Antarctica -- the next continent to be taken over (and therefore destroyed) by tourism. Yay!
/me waves at Lisa
I'm in love with your name! It's *beautiful*!
Oh and, uh, the vehicle is pretty cool looking to.
That looks like a snowmobile version of the "TUMBLER". Yeay!
That thing has "build me out of Legos!" written all over it!
