Arctic

The arctic isn't a country. Many countries have territories in the arctic.

because it's so far away from the equator, which is the point at which the sun hits the most

Because it doesn't get much direct sunlight.

"The town of Baltiisk, just outside Kaliningrad, is the only Russian Baltic Sea port said to be "ice-free" all year round, and the region hence plays an important role in maintenance of the Baltic Fleet."

According to an online etymology, the word "arctic" comes in late 14th century, artik, from O.Fr. artique, from M.L. articus, from L. arcticus, from Gk. arktikos "of the north," lit. "of the (constellation) Bear," from arktos"bear," the Bear being a northerly constellation. From the usual I.E. base for "bear" (cf. Avestan aresho, Armenian arj, Albanian ari, L. ursus, Welsharth); The -c- was restored 1550s.

Leopard seals make their homes in the Southern Ocean, water that surrounds the continent of Antarctica -- this is their natural habitat. They do not live on land.

Given that Antarctica is about as large as USA and Mexico combined, you could pick a number between about zero degrees F. and minus 100 degrees F. and that number would be the temperature somewhere on the continent during February.

polar bears, foxes, birds, hares, and oxes

The Producers, in the biological sense, are large multicellular brown algaes (like kelp), and unicellular algaes that form the phytoplankton. Thses unicellular algaies are members of one of several algal groups. One example would be the Chrysophyta, the Golden Algaes. Pretty much all plants are producers.

Since 1988, about two million people visit Glacier NP each year.

so the poler bears have a place to live in

They tend to be quite colorful as they are in many parts of the Arctic, and they are all raised above the ground to allow air to flow beneath due to the permafrost.

The land on the Arctic Circle is divided among eight countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, the United States (Alaska), Canada, Denmark (Greenland), and Iceland (where it passes through the small offshore island of Grímsey).

Tundra

Dark colors absorb light, while light colors reflect light.

if i am correct there are about over 50 animals in the Antarctica because many more are dying around

A large piece of ice that covers land is called an Ice Sheet.

An Arctic Willow is the only tree that lives in the Arctic Tundra and it only grow about 4 inches fronthe ground. lol hope i helped!!!

For people to live in the arctic would be cold

Part of Alaska lies above the Arctic Circle.

people are creating a global sanctuary.
