ICE ROAD TRUCKERS is a fascinating story of exploration, adventure, danger, and the evolution of one of the world’s last great frontiers. Although technology has changed how people deal with the conditions of the Arctic Circle, the people of the region cling to their deep roots and traditions just as they have for generations. These are the same frontier paths that the pioneers before them had traveled by boat and sled to get across. Hauling a year’s worth of supplies over frozen bodies of water that double as roads for only a couple months out of the year is never easy, as each driver contends with broken down trucks, intense whiteouts and more with constant sound of ice cracking beneath their trucks.
Brought together for the first time since the ice road season, in ICE ROAD TRUCKERS: ON AND OFF THE ICE, the cast and crew spill the white-knuckle details on what it’s really like to hear the sound of crackling ice, avoiding crashing into the freezing water below, and spending days on end in tight, cramped, cold quarters. Filled with new footage and shocking revelations, get a front row seat to all the perils of working in the extreme conditions experienced by few at the very top of the world.
