This Massive Antarctic Snow Cruiser Was A Massive Failure (12 pics)

In 1939 this Antarctic Snow Cruiser was built to be used as a vehicle that would allow people to explore Antarctica. Unfortunately it didn't make it very far once it arrived in Antarctica before it broke down. The diesel-electric hybrid powertrain was thought to be too fragile causing the breakdown. Now its exact whereabouts are unknown but it's believed to be buried somewhere in the Antarctic.
