Talk:Ice road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't agree at all with this merge suggestion because a Winter Road is not the same as an Ice Road at all... People think and talk about a Winter Road in subtropical regions of the world such as southern Brazil or in Wintery locations such as Utah or southern Chile - and yet that is not the same thing as a true Ice Road in the Arctic or even in Antarctica.

- To my understanding ice road and winter road are not the same. At least here in Finland the ice road is opened on the ice covering lake/sea, while a winter road is a road opened in the forest. It seems to be the same in Canada as well: many remote communities for example in Manitoba are linked only by a winter road, that leads through the snow-covered forests (but not over the lakes). --213.216.199.6 07:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] split
this article really should be split. Ice bridge needs a separate article, since it is an academic concept explaining migration of many prehistoric peoples. Ice road is a trivial concept of roads icing. Anlace 17:37, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
