I'll bet this thing is carbon negative, and their goal is to get people to save the earth by flying around in these things, all the while being reminded that they're helping to preserve the sweet sweet ice sheets that they're blowing across!

What a genius idea, Lotus!]]>Aug 13th 2008 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/
um...I think he was refering to the medium on which the vehicle travels and implying that there would be no ice left due to global warmin, rendering the vehicle obsolete.

I know. I was joking, saying that it would be an interactive way to see what you could be saving (the ice!) by buying and riding one these things.

It is an unmanned vehicle (although clearly is can be
driven manually as well). It is not intended to go on very rough
terrain, although it is light enough to be move by one man if it gets
stuck. It does not need a cargo capacity because it is a remote scout
vehicle. It is fitted with a radar which scans for sub terrainian
crevasses. It's task is basically to ensure that the route is safe
for the two heavier vehicles that follow it. Andrew Moon and Andrew
Regan, the guys that broke the world record for the fastest journey
from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole, are using this on
their next expedition and I'm sure they know what they are doing!!!!]]>Aug 19th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/Aug 14th 2008 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/Aug 14th 2008 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/Nov 6th 2008 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/lotus-concept-ice-vehicle-promises-to-aid-arctic-expeditions-th/
