Photo by @katieorlinsky | Aliy Zirkle and her dog team are seen during the 2015 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The Iditarod is a 1,000-mile trek across some of the world’s harshest terrain, from the wilderness of the Alaskan interior to the rugged coastal town of Nome, and is considered one of the toughest endurance races in the world.
Sled dog racing, or mushing, is one of the rare professional competitive sports that is truly coed, with women competing against men on a level playing field. In the 1980s, women dominated the sport, and a famous expression was born: “Alaska: Where men are men and women win the Iditarod.” Over the past decade, the top 10 Iditarod finishes between women and men are often close to an even split, and almost always include Aliy Zirkle, one of the best and most beloved dog mushers in Alaska. I made this picture of Aliy while standing on a bridge in the village of Nenana, the first race checkpoint. It was a beautiful moment, as I watched her team run across the frozen Tanana River in perfect rhythm, with equal parts power and grace.
