Beringia: World’s Toughest Dog-Sled Race | Short Doc

Beringia 2018 was the world’s longest and toughest dog-sled race covering 2,100 kilometres across Russia’s northernmost regions of Kamchatka and Chukotka. Mushers from remote villages competed against experts with fancy sleds pulled by elite racing dogs. Athletic prowess and months of preparations can’t guarantee success. Competing in sub-zero temperatures for almost a month, racing through blizzards and across extreme terrain, both dogs and humans work at their very limit. At times, it’s not winning they strive for but staying alive. RT Documentary offers you in-depth documentary films on topics that will leave no one indifferent.
