The Arctic highway


Located in Canada's Northwest Territories, the road from Tibbitt to Contwoyto is considered one of the most dangerous routes in the world. The Denison's road - as it is also known - stretches 600 kilometres into the Arctic territory and is the main supply route for the giant diamond mines in the North. The main danger is that 85 percent of the road lies over frozen lakes, so ice can break at anytime and swallow the trucks.
