What is the capital of arctic?

Just to clarify, there is land at the South Pole, the arctic is a polar ice cap over the Arctic Ocean.

Is it dry in the Arctic?

It does tend to be dryer because it is colder. But in places with access to good moisture sources it is very wet. For example, several meters of snow fall in southeastern Greenland. Most places though receive less than 20 inches of precipitation a year, with some places being a desert.

What does coastal lowlands mean?

The Coastal Lowland is a narrow strip of relatively low ground between the sea and the cliffs leading to the Plateau.

Because of its proximity to the sea its climate is wetter than that of the Plateau, with fewer extremes of temperature. It is also more subject to fog.

There is considerable farming, although much of the land is marshy and not well suited to development.

What is the topography of the Arctic?

he Arctic is extremely diverse in terms of landscapes, varying from pack and drift ice to rugged shores, flat coastal plains, rolling hills and mountains surpassing 6000 metres above sea level (Denali, 6,194 m asl, in sub-arctic and boreal Alaska). The region has rivers and lakes, tundra and the largest forests in the world (the Russian Taiga).

Which animals in the arctic are invasive species?

That's a very difficult question to answer for a number of reasons. First off, we still known very little about what is out there so far as "animals" goes. Sure, we know about the big mammals and even most if not all of the small ones. But we know little about insects and very little about fish and other associated marine life (again, except for the large mammals). So because we aren't really sure what is there, and therefore, native to the Arctic, it's difficult to say what is an invasive species. The term invasive itself seems to imply that it is a species that enters the area and manages to take over or at least persist and live in that area. There are numerous species that enter the Arctic annually, but don't live there on a regular basis. Many bird species fall into this category. They may be blown off course or sail on favourable winds and appear for a year, but may not be seen for years again (if ever). I don't think anyone would call those invasive. To me, an invasive species has to show up from a different area and establish a viable, reproducing population. If that's what is really meant by invasive species, then I'd wager that we don't yet know of any animals that have managed to do that. There are many rare species which show up from time to time, probably many more that we don't even see, but I'd say we have yet to identify any truly invasive species, largely because we haven't done enough surveys or research to determine what was originally present.

How does the Arctic hare adapt to the Arctic?

in the winter it has thick fur to trap body heat, but otherwise, it has long ears and long feet to adapt to the harsh and cold weather.
