Hilux AT38

The AT38 is a great versatile vehicle for most coastal areas in Antarctica. It is a popular daily driver in remote areas with good off-road capabilities. The tire pressure can be adjusted to changing conditions, from soft snow to hard ice. Ice screws give the vehicle great traction on blue ice and the softness of the tires smoothens out uneven terrain providing a comfortable ride. Three AT38 were used to drive to the Magnetic North Pole with the British TV show Top Gear in 2007 where it carried the presenters and the film crew 1400 kilometers, over sea ice, bolder fields and number of small islands. It was also used to support repairs of scientific equipment in the area of Eyjafjallajökull during 2010 eruption and it was used again by Top Gear to drive to the volcano.
