I wonder what their plan is for refueling. Better have some PS 911 handy.

They're running Jet A, not much need for PS 911 with a fuel that has no problem flowing into jet engines when they are at -70 at altitude. Floatations and traction would be my major concerns.

Recumbent Trikes - ICE - ICE Trikes race to the South Pole

(I have an ICE Trike, but I've never taken it in the snow, much less anywhere frigid. Come to that, I've never taken my Kioti in the snow, either!)
