The Land
_ Terrain
The Inuit people have lived in the ice for more than four thousand years ago. The frozen land of Canadian Arctic stretches north, there had trees across the top of the North America from Alaska to Greenland. There have nine months of winter in Arctic. The soil was always frozen just below the surface, and the sea turned into ice. In the north, surrounded by massive icebergs, have fjords, snowfields and glaciers. Farther south is vast plain and treeless tundra. The west is low-lying, with small bluffs and cone-shape, ice-cored hills called pingos. The east are rough and rugged. The low-lying always muskeg, a wet, spongy bog formed by layers of decaying vegetation. Higher ground mostly covered by stone squeezed.
Climate
The Arctic winter is long and frozen cold; summer is short and cool. In the midwinter there is almost no daylight; in the midsummer there is almost no darkness. At some parts of north have less rainfall. When the snow melts in summer the water can not drain into the earth, because under the earth surface there was freeze over. Even the summer is short, but full of lives were across the ground. The white landscape turn into colors. The plants took a lot of time to grow. There had many kinds of animals: whales, narwhals, seals, walruses, caribou, bears, wolves, hares, foxes, wolverines, ground squirrels and musk oxen. Seas and rivers were full of salmons and trouts. Bird life had ducks, geese, ptarmigans, guillemots, terns, golden plovers, snowy owls, horned larks, swans, sparrows, falcons an ravens. The Arctic is very hard to live, but the Inuit people didn't change any natural environment, they adapted to it. They took the resources that they needed.
