What better way to spend #Christmas than #Husky sledding through the forests of Northern #Finland 🎄🇫🇮 The dogs were so excited to be out running and they loved the scritches and attention they got before and afterwards. Happy huskies, happy sledders! 🐕

The countdown begins 🚀 Set your reminders for the 2025 Christmas Lectures, supported by CGI: 28, 29 and 30 December at 7.00pm on BBC Four and iPlayer. Space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock will take us on a whistle-stop tour of the Universe searching for evidence of extra-terrestrial life.
