Sending A Mini With Tracks To Antartica Sure Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

Of all the goofy and delightful vehicles to ever wander the of Antarctica and the Arctic, I never thought I would come across a vehicle seemingly less-suited to the icy wastes than Australia’s Volkswagen Beetle. But the Australians who brought the Bug to the continent really out did themselves with a Morris Mini Minor—on tracks, of course.

It’s a rainy gross Friday here in Detroit, and on days like these, I like to scroll around on my favorite YouTube channels to see what I’ve missed, if anything. Of course, I had to revisit our main man Calum Giles, who seems to be making content explicitly for me.

Weird vehicles, Antarctic research stories, history; he’s very much worth that like and subscribe.
