Slush and burn - the race to be the Reindeer King

Every spring, all over the Arctic Circle, people race reindeer. The Reindeer Championships are held on the frozen surface of Lake Inari in the far, far north and the winner at the end of the season is crowned the 'Reindeer King'. Only the wildest and fastest reindeer are chosen for racing and they can reach speeds of up to 60 km / hour.
