    That was the other pole lol.

    I thought the same thing but then I checked and the one they went to before was the north pole

    I can't wait for this new episode. It will probably be in 2 years before it's on American t.v. though.

    No No it is not an episode of Top Gear. Toyota used some Hilux trucks converted for Anartica duty to transport some scientist as a publicity stunt. A la means 'in a style or manner of'.
