Henry Ivanoff

Shaktoolik to just outside Shaktoolik

Part Russian Inuit, Ivanoff started toward Golovin. About a half mile out of Shaktoolik, he had to settle a fight in his team. While he was stopped he saw Seppala's Siberian Husky team approaching from the other direction. He passed the serum to Seppala a short distance out of town. 0.5 mi (0.8 km) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1925_.....um_run_to_Nome

As a tribute to my favorite movie of the event I will upload (as far as it is possible) something Balto-related each day of 2025. Here the gallery starts so you can see them all: https://www.deviantart.com/emberwol.....years-of-balto
“Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.”
