Arctic exploration

According to the text, culture refers to the ways of acting and thinking, as well as the material objects that in harmony form a people’s way of life *. The physical environment of the Artic strongly influences the culture surrounding the Inuit people, mirroring a hunter and gathers’ society, as shown in the film, Eskimo Fight for Life. The Inuit peoples shown in the film live in the Artic, where temperatures average -30 degrees Celsius and the land is barren. This extreme weather greatly impacts

Theseus and the Robbers There once was a land located in the middle of the frigid and bitter tundra. It was white and blue as far as the eye could see. Very few creatures lived in this boreal climate, even the human inhabitants struggled to survive. They looked to their gods and goddesses for sustenance. This is the story of Neigia, and one of its divine rulers, Theseus. The king before Theseus was Avril. Avril desperately wanted a son and he soon found a woman named Aithra who he decided should

The current estimates of polar bear populations are even uncertain as the species is not very easily observable due to the Arctic wilderness and their very large home ranges. Of the 19 subpopulations, scientific estimates are only available for 14 of them, which leaves estimates uncertain for the remaining 5 subpopulations (PBSG, 2014). Determining population size is a vital

Polar bears are extravagant animals and extremely large. The polar bears native range is within the Arctic Circle surrounding the Arctic Ocean. Since these animals spend most of their life on the sea ice they depend on it, and therefore are classified as marine mammals. Polar bears have many body characteristics adapted for the extremely cold climate they live in and have evolved to full-fill their role in the ecosystem, their main diet is seal and they catch them by standing on the edge of the sea

Hybrids are the mix between two true species that are bred together to make something completely new. What zoos and scientist have been breeding together have been animals that one wouldn’t normally breed together in the wild. Ligers, Zonkey and Mule, have been animals that would never mate together in the wild. Most hybrids are infertile but on the rare occasions are. Hybrids don’t happen naturally, it’s rare to see them happen in the wild. However a new breed has taken form up in Alaska and Canada

are a typical example of evolution as they gradually develop to become todays’ human. Nonetheless, at present, it seems that it is not exceedingly easy to feel the existence of the phenomena of evolution. Actually, it exists in many places, such as Arctic Polar, Alaska, and Canada etc. In Canada and Alaska, numerous “grolars” were founded, which are the descendants of polar bear and grizzly bears, and this new specie is the result of a type of biology evolution.

Hello, I am Penelope! I am a polar bear. I live in the Arctic Region of Northern Canada. I know what your thinking, "Aren't you freezing in the snow?" No. Actually I am not. I enjoy the snow and freezing temperatures. Because of my clear protective fur, I am actually overheated more than I am "freezing." Another common misconception people make when looking at me is my fur. Although I look white, my fur is made of clear, hollow tubes filled with air. I have a thick layer of blubber under my skin

As the days go by, the weather gets warmer and the entire world population is affected in one way or another. Global warming has long been an issue scientists have been trying to raise awareness of. Not only does it bring rising average temperatures, but it has an immense impact on the largest marine mammal, the polar bear. The rising temperatures has caused polar bears to lose habitat and are forcing them to move downward to search for alternative food sources. As a result, polar bears will become

Learning Log - Activity 3.7 The purpose of the study for learning log –Activity 3.7 was conducting a literature search for suitable papers on stakeholder theory. During the study I used common rules for searching literature: * scoping (and context) (Collins and Hussey, 2008); for scoping I usually looking for a last ten-five years literature * key word(s) searching in present I used words such as ‘Globalization”, “Sustainability, etc. * refining the search on stakeholder theory

Changing Climate: The Transformation of the Arctic Professor Pollack’s lecture on the transformation of the Arctic provided a good overview on the potential socio-economic and geopolitical impacts brought by climate change. The harsh conditions, severe storms, ice cover, and long periods of darkness in the Arctic have made human exploration and habitation difficult. Driven largely by interacting forces of climate change and increased human activities, the Arctic region is warming at twice the global
