Racing the White Silence: On the Trail of the Yukon Quest Tapa blanda - 2005
de Adam Killick
Unlike the Iditarod, the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race isn't for moneyed adventurers with a fanciful interest in mushing. The race, billed as the toughest in the world, crosses 1,000 miles of forbidding land between Whitehorse and Fairbanks, Alaska, and pits man, woman, and dog against the nastiest that nature has to offer. In Racing the White Silence, Canadian journalist Adam Killick follows the racers and their dogs for two weeks, taking us not only into the heartland of the Yukon and Alaska, but into the minds of the extraordinary people who dare to race.
Primera línea
EVERY FEBRUARY, under the cold flames of the aurora borealis and the brief, grey arctic sun, a small group of hardy men and women, each with an ash or aluminum sled and fourteen dogs, begins a long, lonely trek on and over a land and distance almost impossible to conceive: 1,640 kilometres of the least hospitable real estate on the planet, between Whitehorse,Yukon, and Fairbanks, Alaska.
