Thomson Reuters Eikon Expedition

Still in Punta awaiting the go-ahead from the start up team so spent this morning sorting through kit in the store. Met with Jason De Carteret who is leading another driving expedition to the Pole and is hoping to break the record time set by himself and another team in the first Blue van when they first came down in 2005. This time he is using a modified Toyota Tacoma running on Biofuel, and very nice it is too.

It is currently locked away in the ALE store in Punta awaiting his departure in November. see Expedition Website for more details. Watch the video to see the Vehicle during testing in Iceland earlier this year.
