There are no roads in Antarctica: all vehicles travel on ice. The ice is uneven and unpredictable. Crevasses abound.

If the vehicle is motorized, one challenge is to keep its mechanics from freezing, including lines, blocks, hydraulics, oil systems and fuel. Another is mechanical maintenance, which can be challenging if not performed indoors. Access to fuel means the fuel must be imported to the continent.

If the vehicle, such as a sled, is propelled by humans, sled weight and runner condition can be challenging.
