On those reflectors, how do you prevent snow/ice from getting in those holes? Wouldn't that block the reflection?

Any chance you came across Kurt Russell and "The Thing"?

Interesting exploration. But I don't think it's a good idea to bundle all the fuel tanks together. Would it be safer to distribute them across the length of the truck?

I would have thought they would be dragging something like a mobile home or motor home and not just tents, for their 750 km trip.

Hey, , I was with you guys flying to the pole (with the MD luggage tag ;D). Too bad I was working 24/7 and didn't get to learn what you did at the pole. But this is very interesting !

You guys bring lots of fuel reserves. Do they pre-heated in those tanks?

So when you say traversal you mean from one Coast to the other across the pole? Not really sure what your map shows besides a route but maybe I missed it.
