Woz to the Pole - on Hydrogen Hummer...

Following up on the subject of "strange vehicles in the wrong places" here comes another treat:

Rumour has it that Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, will be ditching his Segway temporarily to drive a hydrogen fuel cell-powered Hummer to the South Pole. James Cameron plans to film the expedition in 3D.

Woz will be part of a group that is driving several Hummers from McMurdo Station to the South Pole in December of 2007. In true Woz style, his co-pilot is Buzz Aldrin, one of the first humans to walk on the moon.

Now, if you wonder: why a Hummer? you should remember: this is an American news story, what else did you expect? Also, it is probably even beyond Woz's Segway skills to drive in a linked team*...
