RB024 Ice Pack

  Our RANGER BILL for  8/13/25, takes our rangers to the dangerous ocean ice fields near Alaska - RB024:

Ice Pack 

The vessel Sea Chaser is trapped in the huge, powerful ice flows near Alaska. When they are unable to contact anyone by radio, the passengers and crew plan a mutiny. Bill and his rangers are called in to find Sea Chaser and bring everyone safely home.

Icebergs are an even bigger threat in 2024 than they were in the 1950s when Ice Pack first aired.
