Opening Intro

     Cold? Icy? Explorers don’t care. The cold snowy Arctic Tundra has drastic and cold temperatures. Many animals and plants that live there have to adapt to their cold and windy home. With limited food they have to eat what they find, and they are not picky! There is no way this place is a good V.K. spot, but a great place to explore and let off some heat. (If you can survive)                        

The Arctic Animal Food Chain

      Animals in the Arctic Tundra all depend on each other. This is called a food chain. Bigger animals depend on a smaller animals for food. For example, seals eat fish and fish eat shrimp. Without shrimp the fish would starve and die, leaving seals food less, hungry, and doomed! We need to remember to preserve animals, so food chains do not die out.    

                                                        The Little Amount of Plants

     Not many plants live in the Arctic Tundra due to permafrost, but plants that do must have short roots, and must survive the cold drastic temperatures. There also isn’t very fertile soil for plants to grow. Bearberries can grow on dry land with hard and frozen soil. It can also survive drastic temperatures. The bearberry also is very plentiful, and useful if you need to survive the cold climate.

Cold and windy Climate

     Cold and icy winds blow in the Arctic. Snow covers most of the cold land. With very cold temperatures animals must have shelter and food to survive. It is no beach! Much of the upper layer of permafrost (a frozen layer of soil that keeps plant’s roots from growing long) has melted  from Global Warming. 

Closing Conclusion

      No doubt this place is cold, But the animals and plants that live there are amazing. This is no place to relax, but a cool  place to explore. With a variety of animals to see and a colorful bouquet  of plants this place really makes a great sight to see for explorers and an amazing place that catches the eye.
