What's that logo in the lower right corner? Never seen it (probably on account of not being USian) and it's too small/low contrast to read the upper part.

That said, the trouble with ice thickness is measuring it without stepping on it.

ATAT is much closer in weight to the truck than I expected

Man, ice road truckers really fell off recently.

I still can't believe people drive on ice. that seems SO risky for no reason (I live in Florida btw)

A 100 inch generic lizard monster doesn’t sound too bad.
