SNOWMOBILING ANTARCTICA

NASA scientists use snowmobiles in the ice-covered Antarctica to search for meteorites which they claim contain clues for the origins of life.
To begin their journey, the snowmobiles are slung under the bellies of helicopters and flown hundreds of miles to jumping-off points.
Once the sleds have arrived at their destination, they are each loaded with up to 1,000 pounds of equipment.  In normal operation, they will get a maximum of six miles to the gallon and will never be driven more than 12 miles per hour
