dogsleds
Towed Arctic transports
Dogsleds are sleds pulled by teams of dogs, traditionally used for transportation across snow and ice in Arctic regions.
The dogs, typically huskies or malamutes, are harnessed in pairs or a fan formation.
Dogsled racing remains popular in northern climates: The Iditarod is Alaska's famous dogsled race.
As a verb, to dogsled is to travel by this method.
