Captain Scott, whose new expedition to the South Pole had just been announced in 1909, 'declares the motor sledge to be an invaluable adjunct to ponies and dogs on Polar expeditions'. He used this complicated device which, unfortunately broke down adding to the woes of the ill-fated expedition in which Scott and four of his team died on their return from the South Pole.
