As you can tell from the banner, it is called Ice Road Truckers, and it follows big rig drivers as they drive the winter road to deliver critical equipment and supplies to the diamond mines in extreme northern Canada. The Ice Road could not have a more appropriate name, as much of it is made up only of that, you see, the trucks are traveling on frozen lakes. The areas of solid ground in between the lakes, aren't all that much better, featuring slick inclines and tricky curves. The Ice Road is only open for two months out of every year, and driving it is a very risky proposition. History Channel on Sundays at 10PM, that is well worth the watching.
