Did you know that in the Arctic your brain gets smaller? It takes an entire year for this to happen though, so if you go there for a small holiday for some reason there is no way that your brain will shrink!
There are all types of things you need to survive in the arctic. Of course, you need warm clothes! Other things you need are food, you could bring a fishing rod there to fish for some food in the ice, if you want, a sled to slide down snow mountains and also cooking supplies for all the fish you catch!
Ice fishing is kind of a need in the Arctic! But it is not the same as Normal sea fishing! Ice fishing poles are much shorter than regular rods! A short rod allows you to fish in the small space of a shelter, and it also lets you sit close to your fishing hole. While regular fishing you have bigger rods because you have lots of space.
The Arctic is crucial for lots of reasons. Because it helps keep our world’s climate in balance. The Climate is taking effect on the weather and some animals homes are getting too hot. That means that the glaciers in the Arctic are melting which is making the sea higher.
The arctic poles are melting because carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions have raised temperatures, even higher in the poles, and as a result, glaciers are rapidly melting, calving off into the sea and retreating on land.
Thank you for reading my blog. Here are my slides with a few images:
Kia Ora Kylah,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the summer learning journey.
What an awesome Minecraft activity, I love the arctic and it’s great to see you learning about it and it’s role in the environment and climate change.
It looks like you found some cool arctic animals, which one is your favourite? I think the polar bear is my favourite arctic animal. Did you know that a polar bear's skin is actually black to soak up the sun rays and white fur as camouflage.
Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your posts during the Summer Learning Journey!!
