the particular names escape me!

Malamute?

[Molly Pitcher]

Scott used a combination of Siberian ponies and Russian sled dogs to pull the sledges. It was a disaster, and in the final push toward the pole, Scott and the team with him had to pull the heavy equipment themselves!

In contrast, when they arrived at the South Pole, they found many of Amundsen's tracks: both men and many dogs....dogs from Greenland which apparently survived and accomplished the mission at a much higher rate than the Russian dogs Scott had chosen. They may have been Huskies?

I think Malamutes are Alaskan...
