August 7 - Chirstchurch


The Hagglund is an all terrain vehicle that scientist use to explore the rough terrain in Antarctica. The outdoor adventure course simulates the same traveling conditions as scientists would experience. This ride is the only one of its type in the world. It showcases the demanding capabilities of the Hagglund ATV. Visitors buckle up before riding over mounds, a crevasse, across open ground and through deep water to display the Hagglund's amphibious capabilities. The ride was quite bumpy, but pretty fun. Below I just walked outside to see James sitting in this "vehicle" and I got a photo of my mom with one foot on the north pole and one on the south pole.
