Ice Road Truckers : What is musgate?

What is musgate?

They keep saying things like the musgate is melting when they're driving. I tried Googling it but I couldn't find anything. (Possibly because I don't have the correct word, I'm not entirely sure if it's musgate or musgave or something similar.)

Re: What is musgate?

Muskeg.
A North American swamp or bog consisting of a mixture of water and partly dead vegetation, frequently covered by a layer of sphagnum or other mosses.
