Tougher In Alaska Frozen Freeway Take a look at how different aspects of travel in Alaska are affected by climate and terrain. Join host Geo Beach as he travels to the open tundra of western Alaska to see how life moves along the Kuskokwim River, a 724-mile lifeline for many Native Alaskan communities. Then Geo plays mailman on a giant hovercraft for a day, plows out an emergency ice road so that a needy village can get heating oil before it runs out, and goes on a search and rescue mission for any stragglers on the icy, fierce frozen river.
