People will do almost anything to look and feel young and attractive which is why the beauty industry is thriving.

Today the global beauty industry is worth $532 billion and our demand for things to improve our looks feels like it has never been bigger.

But the wish to look our best is as old as history itself, and people in the past were just as eager to go to any lengths to fit beauty standards of the time.

Next Generation would find that someday, as a huge discovery!

Exactly, let's say like 1,000 years time.

The last photos of the Cruiser.

The Snow Cruiser buried after a 50 mph blizzard had blown through.

Dr. Wade, crew member, leaving the Snow Cruiser through a hatch in the surrounding snow.

Sergeant Felix Ferranto, radio operator, works with a primus torch to thaw out the wheel motors of the Snow Cruiser on August 23, 1940. The air temperature was -50 Fahrenheit (-45 Celsius) at the time.

Crew member T.A. Petras stands behind the Snow Cruiser on September 20, 1940.

The Snow Cruiser, to be abandoned, on December 22, 1940.



The massive Snow Cruiser generally failed to operate as hoped under the difficult conditions (the tires, notably smooth to avoid becoming snow encrusted, did not grip the ice) and was eventually abandoned deep in the Antarctica.

For almost two decades, rescue team searched for the Cruiser and it was later discovered under a deep layer of snow in 1958.

It later disappeared again due to shifting ice conditions and remains missing.

A huge snow and ice cruiser designed for the Byrd Antarctic Expedition was unveiled in model form in Chicago on July 14, 1939, by its designer Dr. Thomas Poulter.

Chicagoans got their first good look at the giant snow cruiser built for the Admiral Byrd Antarctic expedition when it was rolled out of the Chicago construction yards on October 24, 1939.

The Antarctic snow cruiser, designed by the search foundation of Armour Institute of Technology in Chicago, undergoing tests in the dunes near Gary, Indiana, on October 26, 1939, while en route to Boston then to the south polar areas.

Admiral Byrd’s snow cruiser passes through traffic and onlookers before halting for the night in Framingham, Massachusetts, on its way to Boston, on November 12, 1939. Traffic was snarled for 20 miles in a jam that involved 70,000 automobiles. Note the two spare tires visible in the rear compartment of the cruiser.

Imagine we're in the 1930s, and you've been tasked with engineering a vehicle capable of traversing or crossing the Antarctica's freezing vast wastelands.

Why

There was a global race to claim areas of the Antarctica with the promise of massive oil, coal, and mineral reserves under the ice.

So, where would you begin?

This is how the Antarctic Snow Cruiser was born.

It was a 55 ft long, 20 ft wide, weighing more than 34 tonnes, it was designed to hold five explorers who worked and slept aboard while exploring the uncharted regions of Antarctica.

The massive Antarctic Snow Cruiser was designed and built from 1937 to 1939 by scientists and engineers at Chicago’s Armour Institute of Technology intended to facilitate transport in Antarctica during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939 – 1941).

In addition to all of the instruments and tools required for such a journey, the Snow Cruiser also carried a survey plane tied to its roof.

Rip legend.

The vehicle is still in the river, with police warning that it 'could pose as a hazard for curious onlookers venturing out skating on the ice.'

She was eventually rescued and pulled out to safety by nearby residents who brought over a kayak.

A woman who crashed through the ice while driving on a frozen river in the outskirts of Ottawa found time to snap some selfies as nearby residents dragged over a kayak to rescue her from the roof of her sinking car.

The unidentified woman stood atop her yellow sedan as it sank under the ice of the Rideau River in the suburb of Manotick Sunday afternoon.

She was pictured taking photos of herself as the vehicle sank further down, with only the roof of the car peering over the cold water by the time she was rescued.
