This is the story of three massive and magnificent machines specially designed and built to take on and survive Alaska's extreme conditions: the most powerful ocean tug in the country; a massive self-propelled mobile oil drill rig; and the biggest, toughest ship in the U.S. fishing fleet.
Alaskas Extreme Machines is a spine-jarring jaw-dropping road trip aboard three the nations biggest and most powerful machines as their tough crews battle the extreme elements during an Alaska winter to accomplish their missions.
It's said that Alaska in winter isn't fit for man nor beast. But for Alaska's Extreme Machines, when there's a job to do there's no backing down, because taking on extreme conditions on the Final Frontier is just what they're made for. This is the story of three massive and magnificent machines specially designed and built to take on and survive whatever Alaska throws at them: the most powerful ocean tug in the country, built to tow huge loads and withstand winter crossings of the storm-tossed Gulf of Alaska; a massive self-propelled mobile oil drill rig, built to endure the brutal arctic conditions on Alaska's North Slope; and the biggest, toughest ship in the U.S. fishing fleet, a floating city and fish factory rolled into one, designed to stay out on the rough Bering Sea for up to a month at a time. It's tough men and their monster machines versus Alaska's extreme conditions.
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.
