Guides Being Guides
A photo gallery capturing what it really means to live and work as an Arctic husky guide, in winter and summer alike.
Life as a guide can seem monotonous: the same basic tasks completed to exacting standards, year round. But once animals are in the equation nothing ever goes as planned, which makes this one of the least monotonous jobs there is.
- Year-round work to exacting standards, with the dogs at the centre
- 'Everyday Indiana Jones moments' out on the trail
- The arctic as a playground, working hard and playing hard
Everyday Indiana Jones Moments
Arguably the best part of the winter job is what the guides call 'everyday Indiana Jones moments', when the adrenalin suddenly flows and they must save a sleigh a client has just fallen off, break up a fight, or otherwise set the world to rights in some heroic way.
Life here is not all work either. The arctic is a great playground, and our guides take full advantage of it. These images convey a little of what it means to be an Arctic husky guide. Enjoy.
