Ice Roads

By Michael Canfield

Book Overview

Not every road can be perfectly paved and dry. In fact, some roads are made of ice! These ice roads are needed to get supplies to faraway and often dangerous places where snow and ice are constant threats. From truckers battling wintry conditions to deliver construction supplies to people in places like Alaska simply trying to get to work on time, readers will love exploring how people use ice roads to safely drive from place to place. Through full-color photographs showing how these roads are made and maintained, readers take an inside look at some impressive transportation navigation in some of Earth's deadliest places.
