A signed and numbered 494/950 large format print by Alaska artist Fred Machetanz (1908-2002) entitled "Trail Through the Pressure Ice" depicting springtime in the Arctic as is indicated by the thickness of pressure ice built up during the months of winter. This dog team trail has been worked out during the winter, and even though it weaves in and out of the pressure ice, it allows faster sled travel than the mainland route over snow. Driving the team is an old-timer, George Smock, who has a seven-dog team that can pull a sled load of about seven hundred pounds. Matted and framed, it measures approximately 30.5" x 42" overall.
