ABOUT THE MUSIC
P
In 1925 a deadly outbreak in Nome, Alaska endangered thousands of lives. The cure was an antitoxin serum
e w
which could only be delivered by dogsled across a portion of the Iditarod Trail, the only route accessible for
es
transporting goods during the harsh winters. A heroic relay of dog teams transported hundreds of boxes
full of the life-saving serum across the 674 mile trail from Nenana to Nome in a record-breaking 127.5 hours,
without a single broken vial. This came to be known as the 1925 Serum Run. This journey is commemorated
ir
annually in the Iditarod Race. Across the Alaskan Snow echoes this famous race’s riveting rush at the start,
e
the dauntless determination of the sled dogs, and the awe-inspiring serenity of the Alaskan landscape.
qu
This voyage is a testament to perseverance, courage, and the bond between driver and dog; for victory is
granted not to the swift nor the strong, but for those who endure to the end.
