Huskies were used in Antarctica primarily during the early to mid-20th century, notably in the 1900s through the 1950s, for transportation and as sled dogs in exploration missions. Their use peaked during the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, including famous expeditions by figures like Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott. However, by the late 1950s, their use declined due to changes in transportation methods and concerns about the impact on the local ecosystem. Ultimately, the last huskies were removed from Antarctica in 1994.
