Why did we stop?

Why did we stop?
Heading back to Mawson station, late at night on the 100th day of our trip and trying to make up lost time, when suddenly we stopped. Our tractor had hit a crevasse, generally referred to as a 'slot'. Many trips had been through this particular area and never before had one been encountered here.

That looks like a very heavy duty machine. Hope it was plenty warm inside!

Actually, they were pretty cold - the drivers wore thick down suits. :)
