Sleds pulled by dogs
Roald Amundsen successfully employed them to reach the South Pole, whereas Robert Falcon Scott lacked experience in handling these animals, a major reason why he lost the race to Amundsen.
Usually Huskies are the chosen dogs for sled pulling.
—The dogs position is a really important part of sled pulling. These are some of the positions of the dogs- leader dogs, point dogs, swing dogs and wheel dogs.
It takes a lot of effort to pick a dog team.

Motor Vehicles
Motor vehicles used in Antarctica are specially built to grip the ice and travel
through snow. Ordinary cars would fall through the soft snow and skid on the
slippery ice in Antarctica. The vehicles that are used in Antarctica have
special tyres which grip easily and are big enough to spread the weight of the
vehicle over a large area.

Skis
These days people only wear skis and snowshoes for holiday fun.
—Skis used to be used for short distances, if you skied for long distances your feet
would be pretty tired.
