[Thomas Martin]

Sir Edmund Hillary took several of the English Ferguson half tracks to the South Pole in 1955-58.

" Hillary led a ‘dash to the pole'. On 4 January 1958 they became the first party to reach the South Pole overland since Scott in 1912, and the first to reach it in motor vehicles. Despite this, and his party's contribution to the overall success of the expedition, Hillary faced some criticism for allegedly putting adventure ahead of the expedition's scientific aims. But in New Zealand the ‘dash to the pole’ https://nzhistory.govt.nz/node/13729 reinforced his position as a national hero." :-)
