Russ by the Rolagon

These huge vehicles are called rolagons. They have tires that are four feet wide and three feet high. They carry a fuel tank of approximately 2000 gallons of fuel and pull another tank carrying the same amount. They are designed to transverse on the tundra only in the winter and when snow and ice conditions are suitable. This year they made eleven trips to Atqasuk from Barrow. They came three to a group.
