The Most Dangerous Roads in Alaska | Dalton Highway, Atigun Pass, Ice Roads | 4K Travel

Four hundred and fourteen miles of snow and ice, built in just one hundred and fifty-four days. A mountain pass at four thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine feet. A tunnel that cars share with trains. And a road that exists only when the river freezes. Welcome to the most dangerous roads in Alaska. In this 4K travel documentary, we follow the most dangerous roads in Alaska in the middle of winter: the Dalton Highway, the truckers' Haul Road to the Arctic Ocean, Coldfoot and Wiseman, the last truck stop, Atigun Pass over the Brooks Range, the North Slope and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, Thompson Pass, where one winter brought eighty-one feet of snow, the one-lane Whittier tunnel, the Seward Highway between the mountains and the tide, and the ice roads of the Kuskokwim. Why are the dangerous roads in Alaska so hard to drive? Because the cold, the wind and the snow never take a day off, and help can be more than a hundred miles away. These are the most dangerous roads in Alaska, and the people who drive them anyway.
