Killer Whale Swims With Dog

Here is a great video I found of a dog next to a killer whale in the water. There also was a diver scared who hopped up on a rock to get to safety. Were the whales maybe just playing tag or hungry?

Inuit People from the Northern Region


This is where the Inuit people live when hunting for food. It is an igloo. It is made of snow. You can only find it in the Northern Regions.

This is reindeer jerkey. It is a staple for the Intuit people. Here it is being made in summer in the arctic.

This is how the Inuit people hunt in the winter. They travel by dogsled.

Science and the Polar Regions

There are some videos that show you why the Polar Regions are so special. People that study them, like this person giving this talk, care about why the Polar Regions are so important.

There are three videos that go together about the Polar Regions.

Interesting Animals

There are animals we never see in temperate regions. There are so many animals we do not get 'around here'. Some are very different. Some are like ours. Some are like the ones that are here. But there are so many we do not get. This is why they are found in the Polar Regions, and live in the Arctic Circle (and the Antarctic Circle) respectively.


Polar Bears and Beluga Whales are white because of the snow. It is an adaptation. Both have fur and thick blubber to keep them warm in the snow.

The Northern Lights

This is one of the Northern Lights. Where do the Northern Lights come from?
The Northern Lights are beautiful and rare. One must travel far to see them.
The Inuksuk is a symbol of remembrance that is used by First Nations Indigenous Peoples.


Northern Lights are one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the world. The arise from the interaction of the gases in the atmosphere with cosmic rays from the sun. They are visible only when it is dark, however, in winter at the polar regions, because the sun does not rise you can see the most beautiful show in the skies.
