@maksimbabenko captured this view of the side of a so-called winter highway in Russia. Out on an ice road, a warm spring day is a curse. It’s in the spring that thousands of miles of highway — mostly serving oil and mining towns in Siberia and far northern European Russia — melt back into the swamps. And every year, the road of ice melts earlier. (Or so it seems to those whose livelihoods depend upon it.) That insight has turned Tas-Yuryakh, a tiny village of log cabins that depends on the ice highway for business, into a hotbed of true believers in the human contribution to #climatechange. “Of course people are to blame,” said Maxim A. Andreyevsky, 31, the driver of a crude oil tanker truck. “They pump so much gas, they pump so much oil.” Late in the season, Siberian trucking companies raise fees for drivers to compensate for the danger and difficulty of driving during the spring thaw. But it’s hard work. On an ice road river crossing, drivers say, seatbelts must be unfastened, to make a quick escape in the event of a breakthrough. Another hazard is melt water pooling on the icy road surface, rendering it too slippery to ascend grades. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
