In this particular sense, especially…

Arctic Tundra Have you ever wondered what Biome you live in? Maybe you live in two or three. There are so many things around us that could be an answer to that question.

For example Greenland was blown up three times larger than the actual land mass and South America was actually two times larger than Greenland. When Jane pulled out the “Peter-projection” map I…
