Geographical Region:
Characterized by long daylight hours in the summer and harsh cold winters, the Canadian Arctic is one of the most relentless environments on earth. Containing long cold winters and moderate temperatures in the summer, the people of the Arctic were forced to adjust to the bleak and grim surroundings in order to survive. In a midwinter period, the sun is entirely absent. Rocky outcrops and barren dry areas are common and trees are entirely lacking in the Arctic. Including several varieties of edible berries, low shrubby plants occur. From lake-studded lowlands to glacier-strewn alpine areas, the landforms are variable.
Geographical Locations:
Due to the large geographic area they lived in, the Arctic People, who consisted of the Inuit, were some of the most sparsely distributed people on earth. Diverse and often varying seasonally, the environment of the Inuit of the Arctic included: Three Oceans (Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic), Mountains (Northern Rockies), Arctic plains (tundra).
