Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Equipment used in the Arctic
French term or phrase: véhicule à chaînette
I find it in this sentene:

«Au fil des sorties en véhicule militaire à chainette, en motoneige ou en avion de brousse (Twin Otter), que ce soit dans les environs de Resolute et de Crystal City ou beaucoup plus au Nord, l’artiste expérimente le mirage nordique fait de vastes étendues, de distances indéfinissables, de lumière rasante et d’ombres allongées sur le sol.»

The author specializes in art history and criticism, so her use of this type of term may be inexact.
Resolute is in Canada.

And thank you,
Donald
