On February 15, 1925 the second delivery of antitoxin to treat diphtheria reached the remote Alaskan village of Nome. A relay of twenty mushers and their dog sled teams battled sub-zero temperatures, high winds, and snow drifts to deliver the serum. Shown are musher Leonhard Seppala and team with lead dog Togo, left.
