We think of the Arctic as a snowbound place uninhabitable by any living thing. Using full-color photos and easy-to-understand text, this fascinating book discusses how life surprisingly flourishes in this region. It provides absorbing information such as how plant cycles adapt to this extreme environment; the survival strategies of Arctic animals; and the indomitable peoples of the region, such as the Aleuts, the Chukchi, and the Saami, and how they have learned to survive.
