Polar Night
Can you imagine what it would be like to spend
a whole week in darkness, with no sunlight at all? Chances are you'd find
it hard to imagine living in darkness for more than half a day! This Web
site lists places in the Arctic that are without sunshine for days during
the winter. It gives the number of days each place has without a sunrise
and the length of the polar nights.

that the Inuit invented the parka thousands of years ago? They made these
incredibly warm fur jackets to keep out the wind and cold of the Arctic
winter. This Web site looks at the importance of the parka to the Inuit.
