One Man's Story of the 1025-Mile Dog-sled Race Across North America's Frozen Wastes
It is winter in the sub-arctic, a season of extreme cold, storms and 17-hour nights, where the aurora borealis flames green and pink overhead, the snow underfoot is so crystalline it chafes like sandpaper and where every incoming breath is so cold it burns like fire. This is the Yukon Territory, annual home to the start of the Yukon Quest, a 1025-mile long dog-sled race which ends in the heart of Alaska.
Award-winning journalist John Balzar decides to take part in this incredible, epic contest. Beautifully written and packed with high-octane adventures, this is his extraordinarily powerful and brilliant story.
