| Called "the last great race on earth," Alaska's Iditarod pits dog teams and their mushers against the rugged Alaskan wilderness. Each team must cover more than one thousand miles, from Anchorage in the south to Nome in the north. For two weeks they face subzero temperatures, long hours of darkness, blinding winds, and treacherous climbs. The challenges reflect Alaska's heritage of survival in the midst of wild, untamed nature. |
