Alone Across the Arctic Quotes

“As we slipped along over the hard-crusted snow, I watched my little gang of eight. Their furry ears turned backward to help keep the wind out. Their thick, bushy tails hung loosely, and their tough little padded feet moved lightly along. Even at twenty below, their coats keep them comfortably warm. Their tongues hung out just a tad to help them cool off. They where relaxed and happy, and watching them work was a beautiful sight.”

“About a hundred yards from land the dogs began swimming. The sled was floating and tipping. If it began to sink, and if there was no ice for me to stand on beneath the water, I couldn’t save all eight dogs from being pulled under and drowning.”
