As temperatures dip below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, the rivers of Russia's Arctic north freeze solid. While for most it's an excuse to stay indoors, winter is when the trucking business comes to life.
Truck drivers ferrying supplies to the farthest, coldest reaches of Russia hop into their vehicles and drive over those frozen arteries. The work is dangerous - especially as the ice eventually melts and thins - and lonely.
Photographer Amos Chapple of Radio Free Europe joined one young truck driver on a 12-day journey to deliver groceries to Russia's Arctic north. See what their experience was like.
