Jessie Holmes rounded out the top 15 to finish the 2021 Iditarod Dog Sled Race.

Baum said the Disney dog sled movie, “Eight Below” was not entirely kind to animals. During a break in filming, 27 animals died on a farm where the sheep were being kept. The AHA gave the film a modified credit, which said it “monitored all of the significant animal action. No animals were harmed during such action.”

Sled dogs were used until 1992, when they were banned from Antarctica by the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty over concerns that the dogs might transfer diseases such as canine distemper to the seal population. The dogs were used to working on snow, not on ice, in much milder temperatures.
