Aliy took several short videos during her nine days on the Iditarod trail. There are about 20 in the series, many are quite short but we thought you would enjoy them over the next few weeks.
Here is more video from the white out between Koyuk and Elim. The wind has died down a little in this clip but visibility is still very limited. In fact, the video camera actually picked up the horizon line better than Aliy’s naked eyes – she could not make out a distinction between the ground and the sky which is a very disconcerting feeling!
Wow! The team is traveling along so well, reading all the markers just fine in those conditions, looking back trying to figure out if Aliy is talking to any of them. 🙂
I received Violet’s tags. Thank you so much. I’m so proud of her and all the rest of you.
Thanks so very very much for this video – loved the wave!!!
“Real feel of 101 degrees” (only 88 actual degrees now) in CT – all video from Iditarod a real gift!! Another thank you!!!
The dogs are amazing – so hard working and those who haven’t had as much experience on the trail perhaps are wondering if you are talking to them, I guess???
WOOF WOOF WOOF
I Love Sweet Violet too Becky! Fantastic dogs finding the way in
adverse conditions! Thanks SP for the wonderful videos–it makes
my summer! Planning to make Alaska next year!
Great video. I did not realize the markers were placed as close together along the trail as these seemed to be. Do they increase the markers along the sea coast or parts of the trail where straying is more dangerous?
Thanks so much for Chena’s tags which just arrived in a most beautiful package. And so pleased you like the artwork done from video on your website!
