Fig. 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.) 
Fig. 3.— Packing Reindeer South of the Yukon. 
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.)
