Season 2, Episode 4 Preview

Hello Ice Road Truckers fans! Here is a short description of what will happen in the fourth episode, “Arctic Whiteout”, which is scheduled to be aired tonight (June 29, 2008) at 9pm Eastern Time.

The camp is being moved to Langley in order to continue the exploration for natural gas. Alex and Hugh are on the road, while Rick waits for two days for his truck to be repaired. Erick takes a survival shack from Langley, but he can’t pass by the power lines in Inuvik, so he’s there to stay for the night. Another storm hits the Arctic roads, just as the drivers were prepared for a big move, which is canceled due to the harsh weather conditions.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the names of the areas mentioned in this second season, here are some details about them.

- Inuvik becomes a part of Canada’s highway system after the Dempster Highway was finished. It is connected to Tuktoyaktuk through an ice road that crosses the Mackenzie River.

- Tuktoyaktuk, or Tuk, as its common name, is a city placed on the Arctic shore. Locals explore gas and oil from the Beaufort Sea. It is approximately 194 km far from Inuvik.

- Mallik is a gas hydrate field that lies in the Mackenzie River delta.

What new challenges will await the drivers? Will they be able to face the rough weather conditions? Will the Arctic Ice Roads scare them? Stay tuned, and watch Season 2 of Ice Road Truckers!
