Description

Enjoy this hand made fossilized walrus ivory pendant with silver bail.

Fossil walrus ivory is obtained from Native-owned St. Lawrence Island, a non-archaeological site. This site is found by the Yupik Natives. Sale of this material is a vital component to their continued survival. The age of the ivory is estimated to be 500-100,000 years old. Fossil ivory has color variations, which come from mineral contact while buried in the frozen tundra.

To care for your ivory, avoid extreme heat and cold and buff with a soft cloth.

Hand made by the Wassman family in Skagway, Alaska.

Aurora Dinner With Dog Sled Tour

This is the combination of a Northern Lights tour, Dog Sledding, and the experience of our home-cooked dinner many of our guests asked us to design into one tour. Your Aurora Dinner Dog Sled Tour begins right at your Fairbanks hotel, so you don’t need to plan how to get to us and you will save additional taxi costs. Upon arrival at our kennel, the huskies will be ready and waiting for you to bundle up and climb into the sled. The experience of starlight and moonlight reflecting off the snow while gliding down the silent trail is magical. Most of the night ride is in an open area, so should the Aurora start early you will have a thrilling view of the sky from the dog sled. Back at the yurt, our home-cooked dinner will be served while we wait for the Northern Lights to put on their show. Once the Aurora is out you can enjoy it right from inside the yurt or our spacious outdoor viewing area. A variety of entertainment is in place for your enjoyment while waiting for the Aurora to dance. DVDs featuring fascinating videos and information on the Aurora Borealis and Dog Mushing are available for viewing. Please note we have a per-person weight maximum of 250 pounds for dog sledding.
