Ice Road Truckers: The Complete Season 1 DVD Set

The History Channel®

At the top of the world there is a job like no other. A job to die for.

Meet Hugh, Rick, Alex, Jay, T.J and Drew. They are ICE ROAD TRUCKERS. Just 28 inches of frozen water, years of experience and quick reflexes separate them from doom.

The draw: a year's worth of salary and bragging rights in just two months. The risks: breakdown, whiteout, subzero temperatures, submersion in a frozen lake. In short, death.

In Canada's far North, $40 billion worth of gold and diamonds waits to be extracted from three jackpot mines. Critical equipment and supplies get to these Northwest Territories sites only one way: a 350-mile-long highway across permafrost and frozen lakes.

As 26-year veteran Alex Debogorski puts it, it's a "dash for cash," with each trucker racking up as many runs as possible - at up to $2000 per trip - in the eight short weeks before the ice highway melts. Along the way they contend with the most treacherous conditions Nature can throw at them while hauling tons of precious cargo. The truckers that brave this hazardous road form a charismatic and rag-tag fraternity.

This mind-blowing series takes you through an entire perilous ice road season: from the construction of this massive frozen highway to the arrival and preparation of the truck fleet; from the first enthusiastic runs to the risky final days when the highway grows unreliable; from deep-winter breakdowns to isolation and boredom on the road. ICE ROAD TRUCKERS puts you in the driver's seat.

Shot with 26 high-definition cameras in deepest winter, when saner people head South or stay indoors, this groundbreaking series depicts the rigors and risks of a previously unknown way of life. THE HISTORY CHANNEL® crew itself braved every extreme, subjecting their equipment and bodies to months of exposure, to capture the personalities and dangers of this frigid world.

Climb in the cab, ride along and just try to stay alive with THE ICE ROAD TRUCKERS.  Ice Road Truckers: The Complete Season 1 DVD Set, Click here.

The Universe DVD Set

The History Channel®

Bring THE UNIVERSE down to Earth.

At no other time since humans first contemplated the stars has our understanding of the unimaginably vast Cosmos grown so rapidly. We know immeasurably more about what's beyond our atmosphere than we did a century ago. We know far, far more than we knew even a decade ago.

In this epic documentary miniseries, THE UNIVERSE takes you to the leading edge of our ever-expanding astronomical knowledge.

A virtual collision of astronomy and history, these ten dense, enlightening hours (13 episodes total) of unprecedented programming give unique insight - through recreations and animations - on the great "Eureka!" moments of celestial understanding and into the very latest celestial discoveries.

And with these strikingly realistic computer reconstructions, you'll travel to the outer edges of the Known. Tour THE UNIVERSE! Experience the Cosmos as no-one ever has - not peering at dots through a telescope or scanning pages of numbers - but firsthand. Flirt with a black hole's Event Horizon, rove the surface of Mars, plunge into the Sun.

Further, this series gives serious, constructive consideration to the great human questions: Are we alone? Is Planet Earth as insignificant to the Cosmos as a drop of water? Is there anywhere else out there that that can support life? Or, is there truly no place like home?

With 50 billion galaxies in THE UNIVERSE (containing as many as 100 million stars each!), there's a lot of ground to cover. You'd better start watching now!  The Universe DVD Set, Click here.
