Raising the tracked vehicle that sank during TA 30 in 1980
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The tracked vehicles used in Adélie Land in the 1980 TA30 mission (French Polar Expeditions) were of the weasel type and they had been sent by the USA to North Africa to serve in the desert war (World War II). Their advantage for a cold area like Adélie Land was to use gasoline as fuel. The sinking of this vehicle was caused by the breaking of the pack ice near a rock; no casualties were to be deplored. The ascent by means of an overhead crane was a success and he resumed service.
Français : Les véhicules à chenilles utilisés en Terre Adélie en 1980 mission TA30 (Expéditions polaires Françaises) étaient de type weasel et ils avaient été envoyés par les USA en Afrique du Nord pour servir dans la guerre du désert (Seconde guerre mondiale). Leur avantage pour une zone froide comme la Terre Adélie était d'utiliser l'essence comme carburant. Le naufrage de ce véhicule fut causé par la rupture de la banquise près d'un rocher ; aucune victime ne fut à déplorer. La remontée au moyen d'un pont roulant fut un succès et il reprit du service. |
