In the heart of Lapland, just outside the Arctic city of Rovaniemi, lies a chance to connect with the extraordinary world of sled dogs and the people who care for them at Frozen Lake Husky. During a 1.5-hour guided kennel visit in summer, visitors step into the bustling, outdoor kennel where energetic huskies rest between runs and prepare for their next adventure.
