  • Highway to the Arctic: Canada's Ice Roads
    World’s Most Dangerous Roads | The Canadian Ice Roads: • World’s Most Dangerous...
    Every winter, ice roads are built across hundreds of miles in Canada's far north, connecting frozen rivers and lakes, and stretching up to the very northern tip of the country by the Arctic Ocean. For the people living in the remote villages of this region these “ice highways” are of vital importance. Until April, trucks are coming up here all the way from down south, bringing supply goods for the whole year to these locals, and life changes until the ice roads are melting again and disappearing into the ocean.
    For decades, ice roads have been built across the icy tundra in Canada's far north, the Northwest Territories, every single winter. These so-called "ice highways" lead to a remote and inhospitable world impresses everyone with its raw beauty. It is a cold primeval world, almost unimaginable for Europeans these days, yet people are actually living there. The locals, who have settled in remote villages up here, have adjusted to the Arctic nature; the ice roads are their temporary connection to the outside world. While life in summertime can be tough and arduous, winter allows the locals to replenish their stocks, easily reach remote hunting grounds and turns the ice roads into a place for fairs where people can celebrate life and their culture.

    In March 2016, I travelled from Victoria, British Columbia all the way to Tuktoyaktuk just so I could say I drove the ice road and walked on the Arctic Ocean before the government extended the Dempster Hwy. It was an 8,500km, 10-day round trip and a day of that was being stuck in Eagle Plains due to a blizzard. It was a fantastic experience and this documentary brought back a flood of memories.

The worst part he said was being tailgated by others most of the time even if he drove the speed limit. So many taking useless risk to save a couple minutes. Too many people on drugs inconsiderate of other road users. I’ll tell him to visit the Yukon next time. Thanks.

I was lucky enough to be on the Dempster Highway when they were building it and the country was beyond spectacular1

    I spent about 10 years on the DEWLINE of which one month was spent at Tuktoyaktuk in the mid 90's. It was nice to go to the store's and see regular people as opposed to just 11 people on a regular DEW site. The Arctic could be harsh in the middle of winter with cold temperatures and lots of darkness but summer brought an oasis of life. As I look back I worked with some very interesting people who came together to live and work together. As a young guy at the time only 18 I loved the years I spent in the high Arctic
