Episode Information

Alaska is the biggest, toughest state in America. Catch a ride on Alaska's Extreme Machines as they tackle everything the Alaskan landscape can throw at them. We're targeting heavy-haul trucks that carry 90 tonne loads on roads of ice, 100ft long logging helicopters, massive tugs on the Bering Sea, and the largest non-nuclear ice-breaker in the world - capable of breaking through ice up to 15 feet thick. We'll also look at the technology and engineering that make these incredible machines work, the unique challenges they face and the people that keep them running.
