Meet the trainers and the dogs, and off you go. Enjoy the exhilaration of fresh air and wind as your child controls the sled and gives commands to the dogs as you mush for miles across this pristine glacier.

Lost in Ireland With the Locals
"Traveling western Ireland, we got lost on a peat bog. As my friend was berating my navigational skills, an old farmer and his wife stepped out of a nearby cottage and invited us in for tea. Four happy hours later, we took our leave. As we traveled to other countries, my friend kept wishing I'd get us lost again. I did, several times, and it always led to wonderful encounters with local people. Throw away the GPS! Go with the flow!" - Carol Mawhinney, Greenwich
