Summary Siberian cold, minus 60 degrees Celsius, snow storms and inadequate equipment: these were the conditions for the longest sled dog race in the world, the BERINGIA '92 on the Kamchatka peninsula. 1980 kilometres through snow-covered, icy volcanic landscapes and geyser valleys, hardly any track marshals, no sponsors and inadequate catering: a purely Russian affair. The legendary Iditarod race on Alaska was over. The other side of the coin: a musher died, countless carriages were cancelled, only two reached the finish line. Only three years later it was time again. Length and field had shrunk, cold and difficulty remained. The Avacha-sleddog-race was born. Two Bavarian adventurers were there and - by the way - they rode the legendary Avacha volcano on snowboard.
