Take a scenic drive across Tromsø to the mountainous Kvaløya Island, home of the Husky Camp. Our working Kennel of Alaskan huskies will be more than delighted to meet you! Learn all about the lives of man's best friend how we look after, train and feed our dogs. Alaskan huskies are the most highly efficient sled dogs on the planet and are made up of a mixture of breeds. They are bred for their physical stamina, intelligence and willingness. Meet our dogs and learn all about these amazingly successful dogs. Our dogs have been on expeditions and races all over the Arctic, including the North Pole, as well as running distances up to 1000km in Europe's longest sled dog race, the Finnmarksløpet. Then, you'll return to Tromsø for a visit to the Polar Museum. Residing inside a historic warehouse built in 1830, the museum is devoted to the numerous exploits of the great Norwegian explorers and hunters of the Arctic. Exhibits, vintage equipment and artifacts including skis, tents, scientific instruments and weapons are also on display.
