Agreed! But those aren't "huskies" by today's definition. They seem Middle-earthian.

This is a wonderful shot with lots of emotion. Its a pity that so many of these old images don't have a photographer attributed to them.

Some commented on the line set up. This is known as a fan hitch, it is a common set up in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic or in treeless tundra areas.

Haha as a Yukon man it's odd to see dogs arranged in a fan as opposed to a line. This way everyone gets a view... not just the lead dog.

This fan-hitch is used to cross rough, uneven, barren country. It allows the dogs to move around ice chunks and across crevasses individually. It is primarily used only in the arctic circle region and while on coastal ice flows.

This is an amazing photo! They look like prehistoric beasts, not like dogs.

Thanks for sharing!

Jean Knowles says:

This dates from a time when huskies were bred for their strength as working dogs, with little regard for their looks. And yes, the fan hitch is particularly useful when crossing ice floes.
