To get to our aircraft at the airport and back, we need rental cars. The selection of rental cars and the number of rental companies is limited so far north. So the best choice were trucks from the company driving force. Prices are very expansive here first because of the remoteness, second due to the high probability for broken windshields or tires when driving on the gravel road of Dempster Highway.
The good thing is that the trucks have much space for transporting equipment and people and are quite comfortable on the bumpy ice road. However, large cars also need big tanks and these drain quite quick when driving. The electronic driving information in the display indicates 99 liter/100 km when accelerating quickly. I suppose, this is only the upper end of the display... Last days having snow and wet streets, we could observe strange icicles growing below the trucks.
