dog sledding
Arctic canine transport
Dog sledding is traveling over snow or ice in a sled pulled by a team of dogs, typically huskies or malamutes.
The practice originated as essential Arctic transportation and remains culturally significant in northern regions.
Today it functions mostly as recreation or sport: We went dog sledding in Alaska.
The Iditarod is the most famous dog sledding race.
