Sadly, dogs are no longer allowed in Antarctica.
You heard that right. Dogs are banned in Antarctica.
Turns out some leftist environmental group got a law passed to that effect. Some nonsense about dogs posing a threat to native seals.
They are still allowed in the Arctic however.
Also, there is a great collection of short stories involving dogs in the Arctic by Jack London.

Dogs went with Hillary to the Antarctic in the early 1950s..
I remember a competition to name a puppy born in New Zealand which would go with him...
all the school children got a chance to suggest a name but I don’t remember the name I entered nor the winning entry but for us it was big doings...

That image is a work of art.
Not the pup. The sled dogs.
Amazing shot.
