Extract

The use of mechanical transport, and the replacing of the old-fashioned methods of travel by plane or tractor, is a new feature of polar exploration. As will be seen in the following articles, each one by a specialist, the use of tractors is still, in most cases, at the experimental stage; but great advances have been made since Captain Scott took motor-sledges to the Antarctic in 1910.
