The vehicle, which was initially designed to function in the sub-zero temperatures of the region, has now been modified to adjust to the rising temperature of the South Pole.
The modifications include redesigned wheels, a new ventilation system and air intake to stop the vehicle from overheating during operations. It also includes the replacement of sprockets to enhance the vehicle’s capabilities.
