2. Arctic Snow Dog Expedition

The picture that started it all :D
By far I prefer the warm summer weather as opposed to the freezing temperatures of winter. My favourite season is without a doubt autumn; it's not smoulderingly hot like summer or unbearably cold like winter, and without the rain of spring. However, for this next activity I want to do in the near future involves venturing to one of the coldest climates. I thought of doing this activity after seeing a picture of a baby husky (kinda random connection, I know)! I would loveeeeee to go on an Arctic snow dog expedition, preferably in Alaska, for two to three days!
 
 I've been to Alaska briefly for a cruise, and thought it was beautiful. I know participating in such an activity would require me to have good fitness, and a tolerance of cold weather, but I feel for a one time experience it would be awesome! Alaska has some beautiful sights to offer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about being dropped in the middle of some deserted snowy plane and having to brave the Alaskan terrace and find my way back :P. This dog sled expedition would be a relatively short one, that involves only one overnight stop (not in an igloo, a legit cabin!). It would also be on a charted path that has been travelled on before, with a group of  people including a professional dog sledder!

I imagine the view at certain points in the expedition would be amazing :)
