The North Pole

There are a lot of different life styles on Earth. Climate is very important. In the North Pole, there are Eskimos. They live according to the freezing weather conditions.
The region is very cold. Summers are too short but in fact there is no summer because the average temperature is – 10° C. In winter it is ‘– 50′ or – ’60’

Eskimos must wear very thick clothes during their life (for example fur and leather) Farming is very difficult because there is always snow. So they find their food by hunting and fishing.

Eskimos build their houses with ice blocks. These houses have got a special name. lt’s ‘igloo’. lgloos keep them warm. This is interesting but true. Dogs are very important for
Eskimos because they ride the dogs on the frozen areas.
