In the days before the beginning of the 2015 Yukon Quest dogsled race, Paige Drobny, a Yukon Quest and Iditarod veteran who is dog handling for her husband, musher Cody Strathe, plays with the sled dogs. Photo by @katieorlinsky who is covering the #yukonquest for National Geographic News. Every year, mushers and dog teams competing in the Yukon Quest travel across 1,000 miles of frozen sub-Arctic wilderness, from Canada's Yukon Territory into the heart of the Alaskan interior. The race, less well known than the Iditarod but famous for being tougher, is unpredictable, exciting, and filled with colorful characters - it teaches us about the people and the cultures whose land the race passes through. #YukonQuest #dogsledrace #natgeonews #adventure #yukon #canada
