Dog Tired and Alone

The world’s most northerly dogsled race, “The Finnmarkslopet,” tests even the hardiest Scandinavians, demanding enormous amounts of endurance from both man and dog. British adventurer Jason de Carteret is accepted as the first Brit to compete, and he must prove to the Norwegians that he is up to the gruelling challenge. His goal, to “mush” 302 miles across the bitter-cold terrain through hostile conditions. See the documentary on The National Geographic Channel Monday 23 February at 10pm.
