Balto with Gunnar Kaasen, his musher in the 1925 Serum Run. He became a national hero during a critical time in January 1925 when Nome, Alaska, faced a diphtheria outbreak. The city was isolated by the Arctic winter, with dog sleds being the only means of transportation. To deliver the life-saving serum from Fairbanks to Nome, a relay of sled dog teams was organized to make the 674-mile journey.
Battling harsh conditions, with his driver almost frozen and blind, Balto led the way, arriving in Nome on February 2, 1925, with the serum.
