of the country described in class was that of the Arctic. The Arctic tribes cover the western part of Alaska, northern part of Canada, and southern part of Greenland. People within this region are known as Inuits and their culture is very rich. The Arctic is a very cold area with little to no vegetation, and the Inuit culture and music reflects this. Just like the other regions that have been and will be described, the Native Americans of the Arctic have their own unique sound, song structure, and

What is the federal government’s strategy to support its claims to sovereignty in the high Arctic? The Canadian Arctic, one of the defining features of our vast landscape. It spans more than 40% throughout our country and is home to more than 100,000 Canadians (Arctic, 2013). There is a variety of climate and terrain throughout this region. The Arctic in general has ownership claims by many countries including Canada, Denmark (including Greenland and the Faroe Islands), Finland, Iceland

Challenges Facing the Arctic Ocean The Arctic is a covers a vast expanse of the Earth. It is touched by 8 different countries, including Russia and the United States. It is an area of extreme economic and scientific interest, being one of the last frontiers not yet completely explored or conquered on planet Earth. Can the Arctic be both an economic powerhouse and an ecological preserve? The answer to this question is yes, it is possible, but it would be extremely difficult. If the arctic becomes an economic

Protect the Arctic Refuge Jimmy Carter’s forward to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of life and Land, A Photographic Journey by Subhankar Banerjee asserts that the Arctic Wildlife Refuge should be protected by the government and the people of America. Carter supports his argument by using imagery, historical evidence, and tone. First, Carter uses a description of the Arctic refuge to prove that imagery supports his requests. The Arctic Refuge is described as “As the never setting sun circled

Arctic Hares All about the arctic hare.The arctic is the largest hare out of all the Hares. It is also lives in alaska and make burrows under the snow to keep warm. They are about the size of a quarter of a kangaroo they also have very long legs and they do not hop little like a bunny. They can not be tamed and they eat the leaves,bark,and roots of a willow tree and they eat grass and flowers. Arctic hares look like this they have white fur in the winter and brown fur in the summer the summer

researchers in the Arctic have begun closely monitoring the temperature and the alarming effect it seems to be having on the climate. According to researchers, the Arctic is having abnormally high air temperatures and sea surface temperatures, which are causing the melting of the ice leading to record breaking lows of ice. To the north, the Arctic is almost 100% ice and snow. The southern parts of the Arctic are where you can find more vegetation along with dense forests. The Arctic Research Program

Arctic and Alpine Soils Proposal (Ant)arctic (high-latitude) and alpine (mountain) areas are affected by relatively similar climates, as latitude and altitude produce similar meteorologic effects. In these geographic regions where temperature is at such a pronounced extreme, climate would seem to be the leading factor of soil development. It is my goal in this research paper to answer the following question: How do the soils of arctic and alpine areas differ? This idea, taken largely from an

observations taken at the Nature Museum, specifically the Arctic exhibit, show the many varieties of adaptations that many animals have to be able to live in harsh cold climates in the Arctic. There are also an immense amount of species in the Arctic that have evolved over the thousands of years and learned to adapt to such cold environments. (see figure 1 for a column graph, representing the number of species that learned to adapt to the Arctic.) For the different types of fur in mammals, these mammals

Outline Chapter 1 Introduction What is the artic region? The Arctic is a region around the North Pole of the Earth, which includes the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, Russia, the United States, Greenland, as a territory of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. After being perceived as a land of mystery which had to be found, the Arctic region is nowadays an important part of our geography. Since its appearance in the geopolitics arena, it has been very

The arctic fox lives in the Arctic tundra. Tundra is flat and treeless. The subsoil, right under the the top, is frozen. They live in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Russia, Norway, Scandinavia and Iceland. Arctic foxes live in burrows. A burrow is a tunnel. If a blizzard comes, they can tunnel into the snow to make a shelter. They do not hibernate. Arctic foxes are very active all year long. They are also called Snow foxes or White foxes because they live in the snow and their fur is white.
