FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS OF POLAR EXPLORERS
As scientists have found out, the joint history of dogs and humans in the Arctic goes back thousands of years. They lived together, hunted and explored new lands even before the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built.
The great geographical discoveries beyond the Arctic Circle would never have taken place if the courageous polar explorers did not have furry assistants. Since the XVIII century, no expedition has gone to high latitudes without sled dogs. They were the ones who brought Robert Peary to the North Pole in 1909, and in 1911 helped Roald Amundsen conquer the South Pole for the first time.
The role of dogs has not decreased over time. Even in the XXI century, despite all the achievements of modern technology, dogs have not ceased to be an indispensable companion of man in the Arctic, and dog sleds have not completely given up their role to snowmobiles. Today, the tradition is experiencing a rebirth as one of the types of extreme sports.
