Czech scientists from Masaryk University in Brno recently successfully completed ninth scientific mission at the J. G. Mendel polar station on James Ross Island. For the first time Czech scientists decided to use motorized ATVs for transportation in Antarctica and for reaching otherwise inaccessible locations. "For very severe Antarctic conditions we have chosen a quality Arctic Cat ATVs and I can say, that these ATVs proved to be excellent! With their help we were able to reliably transport scientists and scientific equipment to distant places. Thanks to our ATVs we were also able to set and mark new designated ATV trail routes, routes which after discussing on the highest international level will become mandatory for all scientific Antarctic expeditions e.g. from the UK, Argentina, Brazil and other countries using ATVs for their work in Antartic," summarizes experience with Arctic Cat ATVs Pavel Kapler, chief of the Czech J. G. Mendel polar station.
