Antarctica Dogs - Huskies - Setting off into a White-Out

Setting off into the unknown - sledging in a white-out. Low cloud and a plain white landscape without any bare rock or other features gives "white out" conditions, sometimes likened to "travelling inside a ping-pong ball".

In such circumstances, the dog driver is relying on the lead dog to spot and react to any problems or dangers on behalf of the whole team and himself. The lead dog has to be an intelligent animal in such circumstances.
