Polar Huskies

I was able to meet these pretty neat people!! They are travelling by sled dog from Pangnirtung to Arctic Bay---stopping off at different communities to talk to the schools and people! Their website is awesome---a GREAT resource if you are a teacher---they are hosting 'web chats' and have videos and stuff that are really 'classroom' friendly! CLICK HERE!! Here are some photos I snapped as they left town!!! ENJOY!

the life of a Sled Dog....

...the sled dogs in town are kept tied down at the pack ice.... (don't worry they are taken care of, fed and watered....) they are just 'working' dogs... and that's just life for them!!

While on the ice.... we saw these sled dogs; they are being trained to run straight....hence the snow machine in the front... but it was pretty neat to see them out and running!!!

..the Katomiks are a lot bigger than I remembered from the sled dog races in Minden!! I guess things are 'bigger and better' in the Arctic....

...off to the races!!!! :)
