DESCRIPTION:In the 21st Century\, a vast area of the Arctic is still prote
 cted by a naval dog sledge patrol. Rejecting more modern transport\, the P
 atrol employs traditional methods and undergoes some of the most testing c
 onditions imaginable to guard the resources of the largest island on the p
 lanet. This lecture describes the origins of the Patrol in a 20th Century 
 weather war and how it operates today\; examining the life of a modern mil
 itary dog in the Arctic\, and explaining why the Patrol has never abandone
 d its sledges for a more mechanically sophisticated alternative.
