The Last Great Race on Earth
The 1,200-mile Alaska Dog Sled Race from Anchorage to Nome Narrator IAN WOOLDRIDGE
This year the best dog mushers in Alaska raced the loneliest trail in the world-'The Iditarod . The distance is greater than from London to Rome: temperatures fall to
100 degrees below freezing, gale-force winds blow from the Arctic.
Competitors drive themselves ana their dogs day and night to average the 90 miles a day necessary to win. As the 56 mushers and 8UU huskies crossed the frozen wastes the question was: could
Rick Swenson become the first man to win twice?
Film cameraman DEREK BANKS Film editor DICK PULL Assistant producer SIMON NORMANTON
Producer TONY SALMON Series editors ANTHONY ISAACS and PETER JONES
