Alaska & the Arctic
If you're an Alaskan Malamute lover, you probably have an interest in all things having to do with the Arctic and Antarctic. Below is a collection of blogs, forums, and just interesting sites about the arctic that sometimes include information about the Alaskan Malamute (sometimes not), but always interesting. I hope to add to this regularly...if you know of a great site, I'll be happy to add it.
