A physical-fitness fanatic, Cerutty got Elliott to develop his deep chest by lifting weights, harden his legs by such tricks as running through ankle-deep sand and sprinting up and down an 80-ft. sand dune 40 times a day or more.

After the snow has had a few days to pack and harden, the metal can be removed, leaving a firm arch of snow like the roof of an Eskimo's igloo. One hundred miles of under-ice highway are now under construction between Thule and Fist Clench, and no blizzard that blows will stop the trucks that...
