There is q great deal of misunder-
standing relative to the cold of the
Arctic regions. The absence or pres
ence of water and altitude are impor-
tant factors IN determining tempera-
ture. AS the altitude increases going
North, the bite of the weather is less
ened so that there is little or no incon-
venience to be experienced from the
cold.
