FiQ. I. — Sled Reindeer. 



Most winter freighting and travel in Alaska is still done with dogs, but reindeer are used to some 

 extent on the Seward Peninsula and northward. Sled reindeer travel on roads from 20 to 35 

 miles a day. (Photograph by Lomen.) 



Fig. 2. — Riding Reindeer. 



In parts of Siberia reindeer are used for both riding and pack animals. In Alaska, as the 

 above picture shows (from Seward Peninsula), some reindeer are big and strong enough to 

 support a man, but they are nowhere used for riding. (Photograph by Lomen.)

The prospector has occasionally found reindeer useful as pack animals in summer. At the 

 journey's end the animals may be slaughtered for food. (Photograph by Schneirla.)
