Image description

Oslo 19500423. Dog driver Leonard Seppala, emigrated from Skjervøy in Nord-Troms to the United States in 1900. Seppala is one of the most famous Norwegians in the United States, thanks to the efforts to bring medicines to the Canadian city of Nome. In 1925, diphtheria broke out in Nome, and the city was isolated by ice and cold. The distance serum had to be transported was 1200 km and Seppala and his dog teams traveled the most stubborn distance of 250 kilometers. Here, Seppala will be an honorary member of the Norwegian Treaty Dog Association. Photo: NTB / NTB
