kscarbel2 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Radio Free Europe / May 12, 2016 A journey with the men who make their living on "thin ice" As temperatures dip below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, the rivers of Russia's Arctic north freeze solid. While for most it's an excuse to stay indoors, winter is when the trucking business truly comes to life. Truck drivers ferrying supplies to the farthest, coldest reaches of Russia hop into their vehicles and drive over those frozen arteries. The work is dangerous — especially as the ice eventually melts and thins — and lonely. Photographer Amos Chapple of Radio Free Europe recently joined one young truck driver on a 12-day journey to deliver groceries to Russia's Arctic north. See what it's like to do one of the most dangerous jobs in Russia. http://www.rferl.org/fullinfographics/infographics/on-siberias-ice-highway/27706633.html# 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45257-on-siberias-ice-highway/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Uh oh, are we going to see reality show in your neck of the woods Vlad? Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
