Frostbite can set in quickly if one is not prepared or properly clothed, and the hardships of the arctic climate can present challenges for even the most skilled outdoorsman. But for one group of volunteers, not even this harsh Alaskan wilderness can stand in the way of helping someone when there is danger.

So join Charlie and famous international mushers like Gunnar Kaasen, Leonhard Seppala, Martin Buser, and Susan Butchernot to mention lead dogs like Balto and Togoon this life-saving journey through the Alaskan wilderness.
