Wow, what’s this?
How do you deliver supplies to one of the remotest research stations on Earth? Answer: Put the equipment and food on skis and pull them by tractor across the ice and snow in a long caravan.

This amazing image was taken by CNES’s Pleiades satellite from 700 km up. The convoy of supplies can be seen on the 1000 km trek from Dumont d’Urville on the Antarctic coast to #Concordia research station. See http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2017/01/Caravan_on_ice
