Did you know that in the Northwest Territories cars can drive on lakes and rivers? They drive on an ice road created in the cold temperatures of the northern winter. Ice roads are a feature unique to Canada's northern climates. "Ice roads?" you may ask. "Cars are too heavy to drive on ice. Wouldn't they crash through the ice and sink?" For more than half of the year the ice on northern rivers, lakes and the Arctic ocean is thick enough for cars, trucks and even fully loaded eighteen wheelers to drive on! Car portages are built that connect different bodies of water so residents can drive on a great frozen network. This is something that residents of the Northwest Territories could not do in the summer months. They would have to drive boats to use the same road ways....or waterways...or "ice ways." In total, there are 1,300 km of seasonal winter roads in the Northwest Territories.
