Sledges and sledging in polar regions / Michael Pearson.
Title: | Sledges and sledging in polar regions / Michael Pearson. |
Author(s): | Pearson, Michael. |
Date: | 1995. |

Abstract: | Reviews range of indigenous sledges and development of polar sledge types based on indigenous ski-runner, edge-runner, and toboggan styles of sledges. Considers development of Nansen sledge, which became norm in Antarctica. Discusses issues and debates involving man-hauling versus dog-hauling, and relative effectiveness of sledges and motive power as shown by recorded sledging performances. |
