Original subtitles

NARRATOR: On this episode of "Ice Road Truckers,"

a total whiteout on the Dalton.

[bleep].

I couldn't see nothing there.

NARRATOR: Alex's 35,000 pound load breaks free.

[bleep]

Just worried about everything falling off.

NARRATOR: And Lisa takes one more trip

over the Arctic Ocean.

LISA KELLY: We're officially on the ice.

We're officially on the ocean.

NARRATOR: At the top of the world, there's a job only a few

would dare.

Just when you thought extreme trucking couldn't get more

dangerous, ice road truckers take on Alaska.

It's 5:00 AM in the Carlile yards,

and with less than three weeks left in the season,

Dalton ace Jack Jessee arrives to prep his 16th load.

But this morning, he's on a special mission

to haul a load of drag reducing agent,

or DRA, a chemical used to help crude oil flow smoothly

through the Trans Alaskan Pipeline.

And the tanker has to make it 250 miles north in less

than seven hours.

JACK JESSEE: They gotta have this particular load of DRA

up at the injection site, they want it there by noon.

NARRATOR: If it doesn't get there on time,

the oil flowing south could come to a halt.

JACK JESSEE: It's a temperature-sensitive load,

actually.

We've had it inside for a couple days trying to warm it back up.

This stuff actually does pump at--

at, you know, some pretty cold temperatures,

but it pumps a whole lot easier when it's warm.

So we gotta get an early morning start.

Get up there as quick as we can.

NARRATOR: As the sun rises over the Alaskan wilderness,

Jack pushes ahead over the ice, driving one of the most

challenging rigs of the season.

These insulated tankers, they kinda look

like bananas, so we call them banana tankers.

It's just got a bottom drain system.

And there's no compartments in it,

so it's just one great big giant tank.

NARRATOR: These liquid loads are also called live loads

because the cargo is constantly moving.

JACK JESSEE: Only being about 3/4 full,

it's got about a foot and a half of empty space up in there

that lets this material slosh back and forth.

NARRATOR: When changing gears or driving up and down hills,

the liquid sloshes violently around the tank,

and can easily throw a trucker off course.

Oh, did you feel that?

Boom!

Well, you'll have to hold on.

This is gonna be a bumpy ride today.

With the product in the tank back there getting

thrown to the back of the truck when I change gears.

It does it most of the big hills when you're going up.

That's when you get most of the slosh going back.

NARRATOR: Hauling a live load on ice

is especially dangerous on the uphill.

JACK JESSEE: Here it can actually

spin you out going up the hill.

When you change gears, then the fluid comes forward.

You change your gear, throttle into it,

and the fluid goes back.

The truck's trying to pull, and then the product

is holding you back.

NARRATOR: Up ahead, Jack faces the steepest set of hills

on the Dalton, the deadly drop-off known as the roller

coaster.

Got the roller coaster coming up,

so we're going to drop down in it.

And the way this stuff's surging,

it won't hurt to get my fingers crossed here.

NARRATOR: As Jack descends down the first hill,

the liquid shifts forward.

He struggles to keep the truck aligned

and prevent the liquid from sloshing side to side.

At the bottom, Jack guns it to keep up his momentum.

But the liquid shifts to the back

and starts to work against him.

Woo-hoo!

Now we're spinning.

NARRATOR: Jack slowly inches off the steep grade.

We had to slow down, but just backed out of it a little bit

to stop the slosh, went right up the hill.

With a load like this, sometimes I

wish I had a neck brace so I don't get whiplash.

[laughter]

NARRATOR: Back at the Carlile terminal, Lisa Kelly, George

Spears, and rookie Tim Freeman are teaming up

for a three-truck convoy to Deadhorse.

Here in Fairbanks, the skies are clear, but up the ice road

the weather is unpredictable.

GEORGE SPEARS: Yesterday the roads were closed from Dietrich

to the pass.

About all we can do is just go, and just like always, we'll

wait at Coldfoot for it to get better.

Seems like this winter, that's all we've been doing.

We'll see if it's a good day for trucking

once we get on the road.

NARRATOR: Lisa is preparing for an epic journey--

414 miles of steep mountain ice and then to an oil field

over a frozen Arctic Ocean.

She's hauling a critical load of rig mats and a pickup truck.

Rig mats are platforms used to protect the Arctic tundra

from the crushing weight of oil rigs.

It's not a Twinkie load.

NARRATOR: George and Tim each have

a load of Styrofoam insulation.

That's a good looking load.

Shouldn't give me no problems.

NARRATOR: Tim and George have made six runs together

this season, but they've never run with Lisa, who has

a reputation for going fast.

LISA KELLY: I never I've been trucking with Tim and George

before.

George is slow and steady, and I'm erratic, and not very

steady.

Girl, girl cooties.

Girl.

RADIO: Are we ready?

Here we go.

NARRATOR: Locked and loaded, the convoy heads for the ice.

I don't go that fast, honestly.

Not to worry.

NARRATOR: At the northern end of the Dalton--

--Alex Debogorski and his convoy partner Ron Dobbs

are approaching Deadhorse.

Always looking forward to delivering a load

and then going back and getting another one.

That's what this is all about.

NARRATOR: After being behind in the load count all season,

completing this run will finally put Alex one load ahead

of his rival, Hugh Rowland, in the dash for the cash.

ALEX DEBOGORSKI: I would strongly suggest the number one

thing that Huey would have to learn on this road is to work

on his patience.

Every time Huey goes by, like, you just smell burning hair.

NARRATOR: And that's just what got Hugh into trouble

on his last run.

I just got busted.

NARRATOR: Hugh did not record enough downtime

and was docked $250 and a day's worth of driving

time on the road.

You're out of service.

You can't drive.

NARRATOR: Giving Alex just the edge he needed to pull ahead.

After dropping his trailer, Alex scores a backhaul--

a loader and a tub grinder that will bring him an extra $1,300.

But it's a top-heavy load--

one he must chain down properly, or else

risk a rollover on the ice.

This one here, I got it right tight.

I guess somebody decided that was good enough,

but they didn't have to haul a load.

So we're going to have to kinda watch and see what it does,

going down on the road.

NARRATOR: Alex departs with convoy partner Ron Dobbs, bound

once again for Fairbanks, and pulling even further

ahead of Hugh in that dash for the cash.

ALEX DEBOGORSKI: If I have more backhauls like this,

then I'll make more money for myself,

and I'll make more money for Carlile.

Mind you, I don't want to count my chickens before we patch up

the cracked eggs.

NARRATOR: 240 miles south in Coldfoot,

Hugh Rowland cranks up his load of drill pipe.

He's just getting back on the road

after a visit to the Fairbanks courthouse to pay his fine.

No contest.

NARRATOR: Now he's northbound on a mission

to take back his lead.

HUGH ROWLAND: I've never lost a load count in my life.

NARRATOR: But his convoy partner, Phil Krom,

is nowhere in sight.

I've already ate, [bleep],, showered, and shaved,

and he's just having his first cup of coffee.

[laughter]

Impatient polar bear.

Well, he should have woke me up before he was ready to leave.

[laughter] If I'm not ready when you're ready to go,

just wait longer.

[laughter]

NARRATOR: On the road, Hugh tries to make up for lost time.

But up ahead, he encounters another obstacle.

Just when you think you know what's going on,

bam, something jumps up in front of you,

and the road surprises you again.

[truck horn]

NARRATOR: 180 miles up the ice road,

Hugh and Phil are northbound when they encounter

one of the Dalton's most unpredictable obstacles.

Caribou in the street up here, so--

Got a white one running down the road right in front of me.

Phil brakes to avoid hitting the animal.

Any time you hit an animal, it-- it damages the truck, you know.

You might spend $20,000 or $30,000 in damages.

Yeah, about 30, 40 miles an hour.

NARRATOR: One small caribou is setting the pace

for two giant big rigs.

PHIL KROMM: Just didn't really wanna get off the road,

because the snow is still a little deep here,

and it's harder for 'em to get around.

Out here, it's not always a truck around a blind corner.

Sometimes you come around a blind corner or something,

you find a whole herd of caribou in the road, and--

or a moose, or a bear.

Could be anything.

NARRATOR: 115 miles up the Dalton,

Jack Jessee is crossing the Arctic Circle.

Northbound, open up five.

NARRATOR: He's hauling a critical load of drag reducing

agent to aid the flow of oil at a pump station near Coldfoot.

And it has to be there in less than two hours.

You know, it's kind of a challenging

deal with this particular kind of load.

NARRATOR: This live load makes it extra

difficult to navigate the sharp twists and turns of the ice

road.

You know, when I meet somebody,

I always have to slow down because this thing

kind of wiggles back and forth.

And it just kind of sloshes a lot.

And it'll make you think that you're not being able to keep

it where you wanna keep it.

I don't, know, I just tend to slow down when I meet somebody,

because of that.

Wonder if this car's gonna meet us right

in the middle of the curve.

NARRATOR: Up ahead, a pickup truck is barreling straight

towards Jack.

Dalton protocol is for the southbound truck to pull over.

JACK JESSEE: You wouldn't wanna meet two trucks in that curve.

NARRATOR: The oncoming truck shows no sign of slowing down.

JACK JESSEE: God, What is this guy doing?

What the [bleep]?

Son of a [bleep].

Holy [bleep].

Yeah, dammit.

Need to bring a little more common sense with him.

But then again, he probably doesn't see the road

like I see it, and I know he doesn't drive it the way I do.

But hopefully he doesn't come back any time soon.

NARRATOR: Jack knows firsthand what

can happen to inexperienced drivers on the ice.

There was a pickup truck that went down the beaver slide one

time, and there was-- there was a big dip from a frost heave.

And it just went flying down that hill.

And he hit that dip, and the butt end of his truck came up,

spun him around, and he rolled, like, eight or nine times.

And it ended up killing him.

NARRATOR: 120 miles south of Jack, Lisa is running in convoy

with George and Tim.

She's got a critical load bound for the ice road of the Arctic

Ocean, but driving at a rookie's pace is holding her up.

LISA KELLY: Life in the slow lane is slow--

very slow.

Here we go again, man.

When a turtle passes us, we're going too damn slow.

You bet, Johnny.

[laughter]

Not to worry.

We go much slower, though, I'm gonna get even crankier.

I've never really run with Lisa till today.

I've heard that she drives a little faster than most.

She won't be able to stay behind us very long.

We are slow and slower.

Wonderful.

OK.

Pull in here, Tim

TIM FREEMAN: All right, George.

NARRATOR: Finally, George and Tim let Lisa take the lead.

LISA KELLY: I kinda go my own pace, which is not really

a fast pace.

It just seems like I'm fast because the other drivers are

slower.

NARRATOR: Lisa quickly blazes a trail

and pulls out ahead of the convoy.

LISA KELLY: I don't know where Tim and George are,

they're back there somewhere making their way.

But we are going the speed limit.

NARRATOR: Up ahead the first brutal ascent,

an 8% grade called 2 and 1/2 mile.

It's one of the steepest hills on the haul road

where gear selection is critical.

Oh boy.

I'm not in the right gear.

Here we go again.

Oh [bleep], I'm spinning.

NARRATOR: 77 miles north of Fairbanks, Lisa Kelly

leads George and Tim in a convoy bound for Deadhorse.

Oh boy, I'm not in the right gear.

NARRATOR: But she's spinning out on the very first ascent.

Oh [bleep], I'm spinning.

NARRATOR: And now doesn't have enough power to pull her 48,000

pound load up the hill.

Her truck shudders to a dead stop.

Hold on, guys.

I spun out.

TIM FREEMAN: Lisa spun out over 2 and 1/2 mile there.

GEORGE SPEARS: Yeah Tim, we'll hold up till she gets going.

All right, Georgie.

NARRATOR: Unable to get started again on an incline,

Lisa has to back 250 yards down the hill

to get another run at it.

Is there anybody coming behind me?

Yeah, all kinds, we'll get them to stop.

Hold on there, I'm spun out there up there.

That's one of those gears that I always miss,

and if I miss it I spin.

2 and 1/2 mile is probably the worst one on this end, it is.

It is double tough.

NARRATOR: The slightest misstep could send her off the road.

Be nice if I didn't put the trailer in a ditch.

Everybody misses a gear once in a while, it's no big deal.

Except for the fact there's about five trucks right

behind you.

LISA KELLY: Everyone's gonna be really pissed

if I don't make it this time because I got a lot of people

waiting for me.

Should I try this again?

NARRATOR: Lisa starts over in first gear.

You can make it.

You can make it.

Don't make me shift this gear.

I'm making it.

OK guys, I made it.

TIM FREEMAN: OK.

All right, George, you go ahead and get a run at her.

GEORGE SPEARS: All righty, Tim.

2 and 1/2 mile, I hate 2 and 1/2 mile.

2 and 1/2 mile hates me.

We don't get along.

It's the second time I've spun out on 2 and 1/2 mile

this year because I missed a gear.

Missing the gear, my specialty.

Thus the nickname Gear Jammer.

Whatever you wanna call me.

Transmission leaver on the road person.

NARRATOR: Up ahead, Lisa still has

420 miles of extreme terrain to go and then ocean ice.

It's April in Alaska, and the spring thaw is here,

making the conditions on the ice roads even more treacherous.

Give me the auger.

NARRATOR: Every year, the National Weather Service

in Fairbanks gathers data to help forecast

the end of the ice road season.

We're out here to take an ice measurement.

We'll be doing ice measurements here

at this lake and a few other lakes.

Going to measure the depth of the ice

and the thickness of the ice.

And you know, if we know how thick the ice,

we have a little better idea when the ice might melt off.

NARRATOR: They drill down to the water level

with a gas powered auger.

We'll go ahead and check it now and see.

Little scientific piece of equipment here.

Brad Sipperley uses a simple bamboo stick marked off

in inches.

All right.

31 again, huh.

Is that what it was last month?

BRAD SIPPERLEY: Yeah.

NARRATOR: The ice is no longer building up

and is now on the decline.

As temperatures rise, it's estimated that less than three

weeks remain for the ice roads.

Well the, roads become terrible it's another thing,

it's melted on top of the roads.

The roads then become very, very slick, and of course,

very, very hazardous.

NARRATOR: 150 miles from Fairbanks--

ALEX DEBOGORSKI: [SINGING] Springtime in Alaska,

it's 40 below.

NARRATOR: Alex and his convoy partner Ron Dobbs are nearing

the end of their run.

ALEX DEBOGORSKI: Southbound to Fairbanks.

Everything seems to be running good.

This load looks secure, the tires

are on the truck in the trailer.

What more can anybody ask for?

You got some air, did you?

NARRATOR: Frost heaves in the tundra caused by temperature

fluctuations make for a bone-shattering ride.

Few different body parts puckering up some more.

That's the kind of bouncing that breaks those chains.

NARRATOR: The rough road shakes Alex's straps loose.

And a passing trucker spots the dangerous situation.

ALEX DEBOGORSKI: It's just one of these kind of pain

in the rear loads of--

ai, yi, yi, yi, yi.

NARRATOR: Alex pushes forward, hoping the strap will make it

to Fairbanks.

But suddenly--

Oh, no friggin' wonder.

[bleep]

NARRATOR: The loose strap breaks free,

and now the load is dangerously unstable.

And if one of the loose ends catches in the wheels,

the entire load could get ripped from the trailer.

Just worried about everything falling off.

NARRATOR: 140 miles from Fairbanks.

Just worried about everything falling off.

NARRATOR: Alex Debogorski's load has broken free from its tie

down strap, and is now dangerously unstable.

Great.

Ron, you called?

RADIO: Yeah.

Wanna stop here and check that load?

OK, great.

Well, the strap broke.

It got cut on the top there.

Your load's definitely being a real pain in the axle.

No kidding.

NARRATOR: The strategy, add a new tie down strap and use

pieces of the broken one to buffer against the load's

sharp edges.

RON DOBBS: This edge right here, cutting the strap.

So we'll put this little--

little corner protector, just a piece of a strap here,

underneath the strap.

That'll keep it from cutting it.

There, that should work.

Never a dull moment on the Dalton, yeah.

Always got something to do.

NARRATOR: Back on the road, Alex pushes forward to Fairbanks.

If he makes it there tonight, it will put him

two loads up on his rival Hugh.

I just want to get back to town before dark.

NARRATOR: 160 miles north, Hugh and convoy partner,

Phil Krom, approach Atigun Pass, the deadliest section

of the road.

Favorite part of the trip.

Most exciting part of the trip.

[truck horn]

NARRATOR: And Phil decides that the time

has come to let Hugh lead.

Let Hugh get out in front.

That's part of our training process anyway at some point,

you know?

Get them out in front, see how they do.

All right, Hubert, you're on point.

Let 'er rip there.

Catch up here in just a minute.

[truck horn]

Woo-hoo!

This is pretty good for me.

[laughter] Go, go, go.

Hammer down.

Lead, follow, or get the [bleep] out of the way.

NARRATOR: Hugh steps up, but driving lead

has serious responsibilities.

Two northbound at the pass.

NARRATOR: He's got to call out the oncoming trucks,

and is the first to test new road conditions.

HUGH ROWLAND: If the sun starts beating on these hills,

I guess it just magnifies everything.

In 15 minutes this could start-- just start shining up.

And then as soon as somebody goes over it

after it's been getting shiny from the sun, then it's just,

like, glass right away.

Lots of traffic.

We're going-- need to do it along here.

[bleep] pile of traffic.

NARRATOR: The increased traffic forces

Hugh closer to the road's edge, where his tires hit

a slick patch of ice.

HUGH ROWLAND: Doing a lot of spinning there.

NARRATOR: His wheels barely clinging

to the road, Hugh crests the summit.

HUGH ROWLAND: Well, we got lucky again.

Another good thing going one more time over the pass.

NARRATOR: But Hugh still has 166 miles to go,

and he's trailing Alex by one run.

[truck horn]

130 miles south, Jack Jessee is racing

to deliver a critical tanker full of drag reducing agent

to a pump station near Coldfoot.

Well, this-- this DRA stuff there,

gotta get it there as fast as we can.

NARRATOR: If he's late, oil in the Trans Alaskan Pipeline

could come to a halt.

I'm supposed to be there at noon.

I'm running a little late.

NARRATOR: DRA congeals in the cold,

and the longer it stays in the tanker, the more difficult

it is to pump out.

Takes about two hours to pump this stuff off,

average, if nothing goes wrong.

Last time I did it, it took me two days.

So I've got my fingers crossed this time.

Hey, yeah, we're just getting ready to pull in here.

DRA injection site.

NARRATOR: Jack needs a quick turnaround

in order to keep his lead in that dash for the cash.

JACK JESSEE: Yeah, if I can't get this offloaded today,

I'll miss out on a load of fuel I've got set up.

NARRATOR: But when he pulls onto the platform

above the underground tank, there's a big problem.

JACK JESSEE: I was afraid I was gonna have to do this.

We're dragging our landing gear right here.

NARRATOR: The landing gear is too low for the platform

and could rip open the tank below.

And it hit his metal plate.

And I don't want to tear the plate up,

and I don't want to break my landing gear,

so I'm gonna jack my suspension up a little bit.

Well, what I'm doing now is the--

the leveling arm here for my airbags

set a little too low for this.

So I'm gonna move the pin setting one notch,

and hopefully that'll be enough to raise the suspension up

that I won't break my landing gear

and I won't dig up their containment pit.

I was hoping to get it out of here a little faster than this.

NARRATOR: The adjustment works.

Yeah, I'm gonna hook up the hose now.

NARRATOR: And the offload can finally begin.

The DRA makes it into the pump station just in time

and keeps the oil in the pipeline flowing from the north

slope.

JACK JESSEE: I'm hoping to make it back to Fairbanks tonight.

Get in there, get a load of fuel.

We'll be up here again tomorrow, do it again.

NARRATOR: 130 miles north, Lisa, George, and Tim

continue their convoy to Deadhorse.

[truck horn]

I've had fun since the day I was born.

RADIO: Right on.

LISA KELLY: Once in a while it's nice to be in front, just so I

don't have any trucks in my view.

I can just--

I just got this great landscape for a view.

GEORGE SPEARS: We got over the pass without any problems.

It was actually a pretty nice day.

TIM FREEMAN: Really good trip.

Beautiful last two days.

Just loving it.

LISA KELLY: The roads are great, and I've got nothing

but open road in front of me.

Open road, and blue skies, and sunshine.

NARRATOR: But up here blue skies never last long.

TIM FREEMAN: It's supposed to be flowing really bad up here one

delineator at a time.

NARRATOR: Delineators are reflectors

positioned every 50 feet to help truckers gauge visibility.

When you can only see one delineator, it's not good.

TIM FREEMAN: Blowing like a son of a [bleep] right now.

[bleep]

GEORGE SPEARS: Just got by Franklin Bluff

and we're down to one or two delineators.

I can't see.

NARRATOR: 25 miles to Deadhorse, 35 mile per hour winds.

They push ahead into the unknown.

[car horn]

Holy crap.

NARRATOR: 390 miles up the ice road on the Franklin Bluffs.

LISA KELLY: My flags are about ready to rip off

the side of my load there.

Uh oh, I think I already lost one.

Can't see.

Winds have kicked up to 35 miles per hour,

and visibility is less than 50 feet.

Lisa, Tim, and George struggle to see the road

and keep from driving off into the tundra.

TIM FREEMAN: [bleep] I couldn't see nothing there.

All I seen was drifts in the road.

I was wondering if we were still on it or not.

Tim, just-- can you still see me all right?

I wanna keep you where you can still see me.

Yeah George, I can't see you anymore.

Oh no.

Heads up.

It's what the hell am I doing up here?

Think of a lot better places to be.

NARRATOR: The convoy pushes through the storm

until the winds start to back down.

TIM FREEMAN: It's starting to lighten up a little bit.

We're getting pretty close to the 20 mile

where they said it was gonna clear up.

NARRATOR: As it clears, Deadhorse

appears on the horizon.

RADIO: Hey, is Georgie and Timmy coming up behind you?

They're coming.

They're back there.

Turn around, do her again.

Just another trip.

NARRATOR: While Tim and George turn and burn--

Headed out to Oliktok to deliver this pickup truck

on the back of the trailer.

NARRATOR: --Lisa heads for the ice road of the Arctic Ocean.

430 miles south, Alex is nearing Fairbanks

with his top-heavy load.

The road's bumpy and a number of things

could probably go awry.

NARRATOR: By completing his 10th run,

Alex will pull two loads ahead of his rival, Hugh Rowland.

There's a rumor that he got a ticket.

I don't know what--

I expect if he got a ticket, he got a ticket on the scale

and might have to do hours of service, I don't know.

He's been kind of doing his own thing,

so I really don't know what's going on there

and how he got himself in trouble there.

NARRATOR: Hoping to avoid a ticket himself,

Alex pulls over to prepare for a DOT inspection.

Gotta do our paperwork before we go to the scale,

make sure that the logbook, make sure everything is right.

Hey Alex, I was thinking maybe we

oughta check the height on that thing.

Looks like it's right up there pretty tall.

NARRATOR: On the Dalton, 17 feet is the maximum load height.

But from here south, it's only safe to haul 15 feet

through city streets.

You have a tape measure?

Yeah, I got a tape measure on me.

Yeah, there's 15, there's 16.

To the top of the beacon, we're right about 16'3.

ALEX DEBOGORSKI: We're 15 inches too high, then?

Yep, 15 inches too tall.

NARRATOR: Alex doesn't have the correct permit

for an oversized load.

He'll have to leave it here tonight

because if he drives it any further

he'll face a pricey ticket or possible suspension.

I think it's a good call, and we'll get the permit tomorrow,

everything will be fine.

And keeps Alex out of trouble.

NARRATOR: Alex plays it safe but he won't be able to deliver

the load until tomorrow--

a move that jeopardizes his lead in the dash for the cash.

10 miles outside of Deadhorse, Hugh Rowland

races to the finish line.

[truck horn]

But she's been a good run this morning,

[bleep] up and over the pass.

Booking right along here.

And here we are going around the corner to Deadhorse already.

Time flies when you're having fun.

I'm just going to drop below, go and do some paperwork,

and come back out, grab another load,

and then I'm ready to rock and roll back south.

NARRATOR: As Hugh rolls into the Carlile yard,

he pulls even again in the load count with Alex.

The two Canadians are now tied with nine loads of piece.

And while Lisa Kelly trails the Dalton ace, Jack Jessee,

tonight she's leaving them all behind.

We gotta cross the ocean to get to the delivery point.

NARRATOR: She's headed over a frozen Arctic Ocean

to an oil rig 36 miles northwest of Deadhorse.

LISA KELLY: OK.

I'm officially on the ice.

I'm officially on the ocean.

NARRATOR: Spring's rising temperatures are quickly

depleting the ice, leaving it just thick enough to support

Lisa's 48,000 pounds.

It's cracked and brittle, with mere weeks left before it all

melts away.

Every load on this road could be the last.

Up ahead, lights on the horizon.

LISA KELLY: And get the truck off of there,

and get back to Deadhorse.

NARRATOR: On a frozen stretch of ice 280 miles north

of the Arctic Circle, Lisa Kelly's epic run finally

comes to an end.

LISA KELLY: Drove across the ocean to get here.

Nothing fell off, nobody died.

We had a good day.

I still got one more load under my belt

that I haven't destroyed.
