Ice Road Truckers Season Three

Ice Road Truckers Season Three ventures into the United States to Alaska's James Dalton highway. Ice Road Trucker veterans from Season One and Season Two, Hugh "the Polar Bear" Rowland and Alex Debogorski, follow the show to the new destination. These experienced drivers have never crossed the terrain that lies before them on the James Dalton Highway ice road.

Along with Hugh and Alex, on Ice Road Trackers Season Three, there are six more truckers you will get to know throughout the season. George Spears is the veteran of the North Slope Haul Road. The rookie, Tim Freeman, will take to the ice road for the first time. The only female in three seasons, Lisa Kelly, has to prove herself worth amongst the men on the ice. Other drivers include Jack Jessee, Cody Hyce, and Carey Hall.

Ice Road Truckers will take on the 414 miles of the James Dalton Highway that is filled with hills, gullies, hairpin bends, and avalanche alley. Journeys begin below the Yukon River at the Elliot Highway in Fairbanks, Alaska then cross the Arctic Circle to Coldfoot. At the end of the Highway in Deadhorse, Alaska, the ice road crosses the Arctic Ocean in order to reach the final destination in the Prudhoe Bay. The trek across this deadly terrain is necessary for crucial supplies to be delivered to the oil fields.

North America's largest oil fields await supplies from the ice road truckers as they cross the deadly terrain. The Dalton Highway is said to have as many deaths as there are miles of road. The oil fields being supplied by the ice road were first discovered in 1968 and confirmed in 1969 by companies such as ARCO, Exxon, and BP. It took the companies nearly ten years to build the infrastructure, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, to get the oil fields online. Since production began in 1977, over ten billion barrels of oil have been produced in the Prudhoe Bay oil fields.

The third season of Ice Road Truckers appears to be the most dangerous yet. With mountainous terrain, narrow passages, avalanches, and the shifting ice of the Arctic Ocean, the ice road truckers will have to stay alert for any changes and dangers that come their way. Veteran Ice Road Truckers, Hugh and Alex, will have to prove themselves to the James Dalton Highway truckers that they are as good as they think they are.
