Ice Road Truckers

On one of the coldest frontiers on the planet, the Ice Road Truckers brave treacherous terrain to deliver crucial supplies to northern diamond mines.

It is a job only a few would dare. This year, four ice road truckers, Hugh, Alex, Rick and Drew, return from last season to join Arctic veterans.

After just two days in the Arctic, the critical demands of the oil exploration sites are testing the limits of the truckers and their machines.

Just five days into the Arctic adventure, Mother Nature is about to strike and wreak havoc on the ice roads.

It's week two on the frozen tundra and the name of the game is Rig Move. MGM is breaking down camp and moving every last piece of equipment to a new base at Langley.

After the storm clears, most of the truckers are ready to roll--all except Rick, who is on the verge of quitting and looks to Hugh for advice.

The truckers have delivered the fragile 135-foot derrick to the new MGM exploration site.

Bear and Eric must haul a boiler and a flare stack--two critical pieces of equipment.

After being Med-Evaced to Yellowknife hospital, Alex receives a grim diagnosis that could mean the end of his Ice Road season.

Research site before the ice road melts, but while scientists are on the verge of an historic breakthrough, the truckers are starting to haul away equipment piece-by-piece.

With the sun beating down on the ice, the road is melting at an accelerating rate.

Rising temperatures are melting away the ice road, making it a dash to the finish line for the crew breaking down the Langely site.

Warming temperatures are causing overflows all over the ice road, and with water rushing through cracks in the ice, hauling loads just got a lot more dangerous.

With the ice road melting at a quickening rate, the truckers reflect on their first season tackling the treacherous roads of the Arctic.

Hugh and Eric are neck-in-neck in their race to claim dominance over the ice road, but with only days before the end of the season.

Sit down with the men of "Season 2" who dare to drive over the frozen ocean and river waters of the Arctic, and learn why they risk their lives for the job.
