WHAT DOES ICE ROAD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ice road

Ice road

Ice roads are frozen, human-made structures on the surface of bays, rivers, lakes, or seas in polar regions. They link dry land, frozen waterways, portages and winter roads, and are usually remade each winter. Ice roads allow temporary transport to areas with no permanent road access. Seen in isolated regions of northern Canada, Alaska's Bush, northern Michigan, northern Scandinavia, Estonia, Northeast China and Russia, they reduce the cost of materials that otherwise would ship as expensive air freight, and they allow movement of large or heavy objects for which air freight is impractical. Ice roads differ from winter roads in that they are built primarily across frozen waterways; however, an ice road may in some cases be part of a longer winter road whose path traverses both water and land. Ice roads may be winter substitutes for summer ferry services. Ferry service and an ice crossing may operate yearly at the same time for several weeks. An alternative meaning of ice bridge is a natural ice road or a structure formed during glaciation. These were used in prehistoric migration.
