The drivers who choose to drive the ice roads are attracted by the adventure, challenge and high pay of the job.
ALASKA It's back on the Canadian Ice Roads this year for Season #7 where the show originated, not Alaska
When they drive Semi's across an ice lake.
If you want to drive across Alaska, look at a map. The few highways that exist do not span the state. One can drive the southern areas and into the interior, but north of Fairbanks the roads are unimproved and are open seasonal.
According to the Alaska Department of Transportation, there are about 4,900 miles of paved roads in Alaska.
When required they drive with chains on the wheels, this stops them skidding on ice.
It is recommended to use salt or sand to increase traction on icy roads. Sand provides grit and improves grip, while salt helps to melt the ice. It is important to drive cautiously and slowly on icy roads to prevent accidents.
The address of the Fairbanks Ice Museum is: 500 2Nd Ave, Fairbanks, AK 99701
Alaska
Because where the ice on the ice roads is only 4 feet thick the chains could cut into a rut and break the ice.
No, you cannot drive to Barrow, Alaska. Barrow is located in the northernmost part of Alaska and is not accessible by road.
no a horse can not drive through Canada and Alaska
Funny but very good question... If you are in U.S. yes you can drive to russia you have to get to very west of Alaska and then drive over the ice during mid winter but for that you will have to drive like a snow machine or something there is no road there just ice and lots of snow. If you plow it and drive sure lol... as of the other locations Asia and Europe ofcourse you can.
