Snow compresses under the runners and the pack of huskies breathes like wind through spruce as the sled moves away from the farm. In the wide pale light of a Lapland morning, the dogs surge forward—eager, practiced—pulling visitors past compact birch stands and open, frosted tundra. It’s intimate and physical: the crack of ice, the warmth of a thermos, and the sharp, close scent of dog fur.
