Dogsledding

Dogsleds are sleds pulled by a team of dogs that are driven over terrain such as ice and snow. For many years, inhabitants of the Arctic region have utilized the act of dog sledding, which is also referred to as "mushing," as a means of transportation. Dogsleds most likely immigrated to North America from Siberia and have essentially been replaced in the modern world by snowmobiles. However, dogsled races, most notably the one run on the Iditarod Tail from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska, continue to be a favorite attraction among tourists and sports enthusiasts alike.
