Hot Race, Cold Dogs

2,100 km by dog sled across Kamchatka’s wild tundra

15 mushers and their dogs are ready to hit the snowy trails in the annual Beringia race. Ahead of them is 2,100 kilometres across the northern wilderness of the Kamchatka region in Russia’s Far East. Mother Nature will test both professional racers and novices, who take on this month-long feat of endurance in search of thrills and a top prize of nearly $50,000.
