By Ben Matheson, KNOM-Nome | Arts & Culture, Iditarod, Interior, Southwest, Sports, Western

By Ravenna Koenig, Alaska's Energy Desk | Alaska's Energy Desk, Arctic, North Slope, Outdoors, Sports, Transportation

Alaska is, of course, famous for its sled dog racing, but that’s never been where Geoff Carroll’s interest lies. He’s an expedition guy. In fact, his introduction to mushing was on an expedition to the North Pole in 1986: a 56-day, 1,000 mile trek over sea ice by dogsled.
