The word Arctic is derived from Arktos, 'the bear' in Greek, due to the Great Bear constellation above the North Pole. March - November, for weather and wildlife migrations. Known as 'Nanuk' to the Inuit, the polar bear is a big fan of Ring Seal sashimi, and lives in coastal regions of the Arctic including Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Russia. The best known place to find them is Churchill, Manitoba in Canada, where people and bears have been coexisting more or less successfully since the eighteenth century.
Problems are rare and always occur through starving bears or human stupidity.
Comfortable with humans and they sometimes travel in groups. Seen in the northern regions of Canada, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Finland, and Russia during the summer months or more southerly regions during the harsh winters. The Arctic wolf is a smaller and lighter coloured version. These fantasy creatures of the Arctic live between Canada and Greenland. Domesticated sled pulling reindeer are one of the more environmentally sound ways to travel on your holiday.
