husky sledding

Arctic canine towing

Husky sledding is the activity of being pulled across snow or ice on a sled by a team of huskies or other sled dogs.

It originated as transportation in Arctic regions and remains a traditional practice among indigenous peoples, though it now serves primarily as a winter sport and tourist attraction: We went husky sledding in Norway.
