A sturdy husky dog is brilliant at battling with the bitter weather of polar regions. Huskies helped give Amundsen's team the winning edge. The Norwegians used 52 dogs to pull the sledges carrying their tents, food and other supplies.
[The British team tried to use ponies to pull their sledges. Unfortunately they weren't up to the job, and Scott's men ended up hauling their own sledges.]
