2,100 kilometres across Kamchatka’s vast, snowy wilderness in a month! That’s the distance of the annual Beringia dog sled race. It pushes humans and canines far beyond their limits in extreme temperatures. Dogs and sled drivers spend the night in villages along the way. If bad weather catches them on the road, people take out tents and tough it out in the cold. Despite these challenges, the participants are raring to go and compete for a prize of nearly $50,000.
