ONE TEAM. ONE TRACTOR.
ONE GOAL.

In 1958, legendary explorer Sir Edmund Hillary teamed up with Massey Ferguson to embark on a daring mission to the South Pole. Half a century later, a lone girl in the Netherlands, Tractor Girl, began her own journey to the Pole. Her mission? To prove you can achieve anything if you just believe in it.

Tractor Girl, had her dream, but needed the tools and the know-how to make it reality. Antarctica2 sees Ferguson team up with her to fulfil that dream and show the world that anything is possible. Supported by a group of seasoned polar explorers, Manon will attempt to drive a Massey Ferguson MF 5610 tractor all the way to the geographical South Pole. But to get there, she and her team will have to cross one of the most challenging environments on Earth.
