Sled Team
As the race to save Nome began on January 27, two storm systems began pushing their way through Alaska. Temperatures were dangerously low, while blizzards crippled transportation and brought life to a standstill throughout the U.S. territory. As the first driver of the relay left the train station with the serum, Leonhard Seppala - the area's best known dog sled racer and breeder - was on his way from Nome to safeguard the package through the most dangerous leg of the journey. | Source: Library of Congress
