The ice road from Tibbitt to Contwoyto, NWT, Canada

March, 2010

The famous ice road out of Yellowknife used to truck supplies to the diamond mines up north makes for an interesting backdrop to night photography.
The road itself is a photographic macro opportunity.
Stress cracks and fractures from the weight of heavy rigs crisscross the ice surface.

Pretty cool, eh?
Caribou crossing the ice road find it much easier to travel the road than in the deep snow surrounding it.
