Greenlandic sledge dog
Greenland dog. This breed of dog is kept as a sled dog in Arctic regions of Siberia, Alaska, Canada and Greenland. It is thought to be descended from dogs brought to Greenland by early inuit settlers. The dog in the image belongs to the Royal Danish Navys SIRIUS sledge patrol, a small army unit that patrols and defends Danish sovereignty over Greenland. SIRIUS patrol dogs have been selectively bred for endurance and strength. Over a working lifetime, the dog will pull sledges over a total distance of 25, 000 kilometres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Greenlandic sledge dog, also known as the Greenland dog. Originating from the Arctic regions of Siberia, Alaska, Canada, and its namesake homeland Greenland, this breed has a rich history intertwined with early Inuit settlers. Belonging to the esteemed Royal Danish Navy's SIRIUS sledge patrol, which safeguards Danish sovereignty over Greenland, this particular canine epitomizes strength and endurance. Selected for their exceptional traits through careful breeding practices, these dogs are capable of pulling sledges over an astounding distance of 25,000 kilometers throughout their working lives. In this image captured by Science Photo Library's lens, we witness the raw power and beauty that defines these remarkable creatures. With nature as their playground and arctic landscapes as their backdrop, they embody the essence of wild life in its purest form. The significance of these dogs extends beyond mere companionship or work; they symbolize a deep connection between humans and animals in harsh environments. As part of the Danish special forces' Sirius patrol unit operating in northern Greenland under extreme conditions, they play an integral role in ensuring safety and security. Let us marvel at this awe-inspiring representation of biological wonders - an embodiment of resilience against adversity found within our natural world.
