We are a team of two humans and sixteen dogs. Stefan's and Polly's profiles are below; photos and personality quirks of each of the dogs will be posted on this site as the project progresses.

Stefan Wackerhagen has worked for the last several years as a wilderness, dogsledding and winter camping guide in the Yukon. He is experienced in all aspects of cold-weather survival, dog handling and dog care. He also has experience in large-scale expeditions: with a companion he was the first person to walk the 700-kilometre length of Siberia's Lake Baikal in winter hauling supplies by sled. Stefan is also an athlete - he was the winner of the 2007 Whitehorse triathlon - and photographer. Check out his photos of the beautiful north, plus information about his guiding work, at www.lonetrails.com.
