I don't know much about them, but the one thing I do recall seeing on DSC is how they inflate their tires. I guess (if they go flat?) out in the Arctic, they spray lighter fluid all over the tire and light it. The gas inside ignites and the tire expands. I think I got that right. Either way, it looked really cool.
I don't think I'd have the balls to drive those in the _real_ real Arctic. The crevices out there are huge. The trucks on the DSC show had huge 'wheelie' bars on the front and back to make sure you wouldn't fall down a crack. I'd prolly forget to lock them. :O
