The Last Great Race on Earth The 1,200 mile Alaska dog sled race from Anchorage to Nome
Narrator Ian Wooldridge
In 1979 the best dog mushers in Alaska - Indians, Eskimos and white trappers - raced the loneliest trail in the world, the Iditarod. The distance is greater than that from London to Rome, temperatures fall to 100 degrees below freezing, and gale force winds blow incessantly from the Arctic. Producer TONY SALMON Series producers
