dog sledges

Husky-pulled snow vehicles

Dog sledges are sleds designed to be pulled by teams of dogs, used for transport across snow and ice.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say dog sleds.

Explorers crossed the Arctic by dog sledge.

The vehicle and the activity of using it share the name: We went dog sledging in Alaska.
