Four Arctic Trucks vehicles, one specially-converted AT38 Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4, two AT44 Toyota Hilux 6x6 and one AT44 Toyota Hilux undertook a 5,800km return drive from Union Glacier, at the foot of the Antastctic Peninsula, to McMurdo Station via the South Pole. The expedition was created by the great grandson of Ernest Shackleton, Patrick Bergel, completing what his great grandfather started over 100 years ago by achieving the first crossing of Antarctica by car. After visiting Shackleton‘s Discovery Hut the team returned the same way back to Union, also creating the first car crossing of the Ross iceshelf itself.
