Day Two - Dogs and Glaciers

 The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, more commonly known as the plain old Iditarod, is an annual long-distance sled dog race held in Alaska in early March. It travels from Anchorage to Nome and is about 938 miles long. Mushers and a team of between 12 and 16 dogs, of which at least 5 must be on the towline at the finish line, cover the distance in 8-15 days or more. The Iditarod began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers and teams but evolved into today's highly competitive race. Wiki

We are going to go dog sledding or perhaps the better term would be dog carting since there is no snow.
