"We're very proud to be helping Imperial College London - one of the world’s premier scientific institutions – to monitor, measure and learn in this most remote and challenging of environments".
Andrew Regan, Co-Founder Trans Antarctic Expedition
The Moon Regan Transantarctic Expedition will travel 3,600 miles across Antarctica. The Winston Wong Bio-Inspired Ice Vehicle will lead the way with two science support vehicles carrying the team and state of the art monitoring and measuring technology from Imperial College London.
The expedition is proud to be working in partnership with Imperial College London and facilitating the capture of key information for a number of its researchers. The expedition hopes to prove that wheeled vehicles are viable and more environmentally-friendly than air travel in this challenging environment.
