ai6yr,

It's a really good thing I don't have room or money (or need) for this... 1986 Hagglund up for auction down the street. "Hansel". Picture from below at McMurdo Station is the sister of Hansel, "Gretel", somewhere roaming around Antarctica. #Antarctica

Description of Hansel: Passenger ATV 1987, 16-person amphibious fording depth fre eboard 200mm wt 10,080-lbs

ai6yr,

Oh, here's a photo of "Hansel".

National Science Foundation: "U.S. Antarctic Program participants stand next to a Hagglund, a tracked vehicle generally used by science teams and support personnel to access the sea ice near McMurdo Station." Photographer: Elizabeth Mockbee.

ai6yr,

The last time one of these went up for auction here, I believe the closing price was $5K or $8K. That said, this would NOT make a good commute vehicle, and I suspect you aren't allowed to run tracked vehicles over our local roads 😂

@ai6yr Also single-digit gas mileage?

ai6yr,

@ai6yr a co-worker’s husband worked there many moons ago just because he had worked on these vehicles. Critical to their mission at that time apparently.
