During the harsh winter of Canada's Northwest Territory, remote villages and work camps are cut off from the world.

Sometimes the ice cannot support the heavy rig, and driver and cargo plunge through the ice and sink to the bottom.

This is a list of Ice Road Truckers Season 2 episodes.
At the top of the world, there's an outpost like no other…and a job only a few would dare. The ice men return: two titans of the southern ice roads, and two contenders. Last season they drove loaded semis on frozen lakes…this year, the Arctic Ocean. Deeper into the deep freeze. Further out on thinner ice. The new mission: to haul the heavy metal of natural gas drilling rigs up a frozen river and across ice-choked seas. Ice road truckers have come to the edge of the earth. These are the men who make their living on thin ice.
—Thom Beers, opening of the show, season 2
