The Arctic By Ruth Kenny
Geography The Arctic is located at the northernmost part of the of our planet the world. The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, Russia, the USA, Greenland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Iceland. For at lest one day a year there`s an entire day of darkness in this area. Four million people call the Arctic their wintery wonderland home some of the people of the Arctic are called Inuits.
Igloos or Cosy Iceboxes When the Inuits are on hunting trips, they build igloos as temporary (for a short time) homes. Although they are made from frozen blocks of ice and loose snow they are cosy and warm inside. Earlier this week, I watched Fireman Sam with Luke and they were building Igloos
Animal Life in the Arctic The Arctic is home to lots of wildlife. There are Arctic Foxes, Polar Bears, Walrus, seals, snowy owls and whales
Snowy Owls Narwhal Their feet are covered with feathers, like fluffy slippers. Their wingspan is 4-5 feet on average. Narwhals are only found in the Arctic area The Narwhal is called the Unicorn of the Sea because they have a straight tusk that can grow to 3Metres long.
Polar Bears King of the Ice. The poplar bear is the largest and most powerful hunter in the Arctic. They are excellent swimmers and spend lots of time in freezing water Oily fur and a layer blubber (fat) keeps polar bears warm My Drawing of a Polar Bear
Hardanger Fiddle The Hardanger Fiddle is a string instrument. It is like the violin but has 8 or 9 strings and its wood is lighter. The fiddler taps his foot when playing his hardanger fiddle so people can dance.
