Behind the Name: The Real Ice Roads

Welcome to the Ice Road Gallery. These photos are from my 10+ years of experience driving the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road in the Canadian North, delivering freight and fuel to diamond mines in some of the harshest conditions on Earth.

It's aprox 900 km and about a 28 hours for the round trip.
