The Use of Aero-Sledges in Arctic Exploration

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  27 October 2009

Extract

Aero-sledges were first used in the Soviet Arctic on the ice-cap of Novaya Zemlya in 1932-–33; but the experiment was, on the whole, unsuccessful. It may be of interest to describe the experiences of two other expeditions, on which they were used with highly satisfactory results, proving them to be an extremely effective and convenient means of transport.
