Arctic Region
The Arctic Region is a polar area located at the northernmost part of the Earth, primarily consisting of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding landmasses. It includes parts of countries like Canada, Russia, Greenland, and Norway. The region is characterized by its cold climate, ice-covered waters, and unique ecosystems, which support various wildlife, including polar bears and seals.
The Arctic is also home to indigenous peoples, such as the Inuit and Sámi, who have adapted to the harsh environment over thousands of years. Climate change is significantly impacting the Arctic, leading to melting ice and changes in habitats, which affects both wildlife and human communities.
