This morning we went to the Fairbanks visitor center to watch a video on the Brooks Mountain Range, in the far north of Alaska. It is between Fairbanks and the north-slope oil wells. We visited the Yukon Quest sled-dog race headquarters. The Yukon Quest is a two week dog-sled race in February. Mushers race over 1,000 miles through winter wilderness between Fairbanks, AK and Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. There were five-week-old husky puppies, eight total, piled up together. At the ice museum we saw some of the smaller ice carvings from the annual World Ice Art Championships. They also had a very special film in the evening of the aurora borealis.
