Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road is an
ice road on frozen
Mackenzie River delta channels and the frozen
Arctic Ocean between the
Northwest Territories communities of
Inuvik and
Tuktoyaktuk, in Canada. It services
gas hydrate fields and exploration facilities at Mallik, Aput, and Langley, along with the ice-locked barges
Wurmlinger and
Arctic Star, which act as bases of operations for ice road crews and exploration personnel. In addition, the road is a key supply line for Tuktoyaktuk and the hamlet of
Aklavik.
