Arctic Expeditions
Alaskan Arctic Expeditions conducts the most remote and extreme dog sledding expeditions in Alaska. The purpose of the expeditions is to explore the vast expanses of Alaska’s North Slope country, view the unique wildlife, and experience raw adventure.
Joe Henderson and his team of malamutes explore some of the world’s most pristine lands, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Encompassing over 19 million acres, ANWR provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for a genuinely captivating Alaskan adventure.
Joe has spent over 25 winters in Alaska’s backcountry with his malamutes and has yet to see it all. To quote Joe, “I’ve mushed tens of thousands of miles in Alaska’s arctic and have only seen a portion of it. It would take two-hundred years to cover it all. I just wish I had two, maybe three lifetimes to explore it.”
Joe is a pioneer in dog sledding in the sense that he has perfected a method of travel that is unprecedented in modern times. Never in recorded history has anyone traveled solo for up to 5 months
at a time without resupply or even so much as seeing another human being. It was only within the past 4 years that Joe even began to travel with an Iridium satellite phone. Prior to that, he had absolutely no contact with civilization for months on end.
Every few years, Joe brings on a couple of clients to share his arctic experience. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you are interested in accompanying him for 12 or 21 days, please contact us for more details and availability.
