The
Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race 2006
http://www.iditarod.com
It’s unlike any
other event in the world. A race over 1,150 miles of the most
extreme and beautiful terrain known to man: across mountain
ranges, frozen rivers, dense forests, desolate tundra and
windswept coastline. Add sub-zero temperatures and blinding
winds, and you’ve got the makings of a legendary adventure.
That’s the Iditarod.
