Now here's something I can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with. It's from regular Biglorryblog contributor Nick Garlick who says: "Morning Brian, I found these last night looking through a great website. 18-wheelers? No---THIS is the way to do heavy haulage when the snow is just to deep. Brrr! Regards, Nick." I agree...as long as you've got a decent heater.
Of course you wouldn't want that tow bar to break otherwise I could see it sliding all the way back to where you started....DOH! Now here are a few more snow warriors starting with the wonderful Tucker Sno-cats used by the British Antarctic Survey. 
The Tucker Sno-cats transport personnel and tow sledges of up to eight-tonnes containing supplies from the BAS's main logistics support ship, RRS Ernest Shackleton. Powered by Detroit Diesel or Cummins 6BT and QSB diesels the Sno-cats' 170hp engines drive through an Allison auto to four tracks, with steering provided by turntables fitted to the axles.
And you wouldn't want to breadown out there....
Now THESE are real 'Ice Road truckers'! Click through for one more too...
Here's one more shot of the various vehicles used by The British Antarctic Survey including this Nodwell tracked vehicle... which comes with a crane to presumably lift it out of a crevace...or should that be crevice?
Rather neat don't you think?
Or even a crevasse?
