An aurora is an electromagnetic phenomenon, which results in a luminous colour display seen in the night sky. These light shows can be viewed in winter months of the polar regions of the northern hemisphere, referred to as Photographer: Larry Gerbrandt aurora borealis, as well as the southern hemisphere, referred to as aurora australis (46 Lerner and Lerner). They appear many different shapes, such as patches of light, rays, arcs, or streamers across the sky. Most commonly, they take the form of…

commercial interests they share . Together they defend the North American arctic through shared programs such as NORAD and NANOOK , as well as the North Warning Systems, which are a chain of radar stations stretching from the Alaskan west all the way to Greenland . Canada and the U.S. would both like to ensure that the Northwest Passage will be protected. Canada especially is fighting for the security of this specific passage and the U.S. wants to as well, but has to do so carefully so as not to…

and an increase of diseases. e) Sea level will rise from 1-4 feet by 2100 causing many people to migrate, although this is happening in many places in India. f) Artic likely to become ice free because the heat trapped is already melting ice in Greenland, and scientists said it will continue if nobody takes action now. Conclusion: In conclusion I would like to share this phrase from the actor and environmentalist Ian Somerhalder: “The environment is in us, not outside of us. The trees are our…

We were given the assignment to choose a country that we know nothing about and write paper on it. That meant choosing from 196 very different countries. While doing research on which country I should choose, I kept coming across polls showing which countries where the happiest and most financially stable. The country that continued to make the list year after year was Denmark. Why was Denmark so happy? What made them better than the United States? Denmark is a country in Northern Europe and is…

The Carolingian Empire was established by Charlemagne in 800 and would lead to a several generation split into several Carolingian kingdoms. Charlemagne and the kingdoms of his grandsons Louis the German, Charles the Bald and Lothar represent the rise and fall of a would be empire. Each of these kingdoms had their strengths and weaknesses that would ultimately influence the further progression of Europe. The Carolingian kingdoms were responsible for the unifications of the Anglo-Saxon people…

CLAIM: The Arctic region’s history does not make the front page of news articles or magazines very often. Therefore, many people are not aware of how this once glorious region has a devastating history, especially in the past century. To compare the Arctic’s history from its last, scientists measure the sea ice covering peak around the time of late-March, as well as the nadir in the ice coverage around mid-September. EVIDENCE: in 2018, the final recording of the Arctic ice coverage was “5.59…

Earth has experienced variations in climate throughout history. Several cycles of glacial advance and retreat (specifically the Permian, Carboniferous, Cambrian and Pre-cambrian glaciations) demonstrate natural climate fluctuation. These fluctuations can be attributed to deviations in the Earth 's orbit; the amount of solar energy received by Earth differing as a result of this. Current temperature trends display an aberrant rate of increase in global lower-atmospheric temperatures. This…

to survive. The Inuit are a group of people whose culture is shaped and changed around the goal of surviving the harsh conditions of the northern parts of North America. The environment in which the Inuit live is in Alaska, Northern Canada, and Greenland. The temperatures here are very cold. The average temperature in the winter months is -30 degrees Fahrenheit and 37-54…

motorcycle museum in the hill-country where all walks of life go in the late winter/ early spring months because of the American food and the Aussie owner. One specimen I was lucky enough to speak with relived his glory days as a geoscientist in Greenland. We did not have much time to talk about specifics, but I did have time to ask how I could get in on that worldly experience action so I too could have KILLER stories to tell when I am old and gray/grey (he spells it with an e). Again no…

Throughout the history of man, hunting has been a recurring activity among people, helping them survive and evolve. From the beginning, hunting was not only a tool for providing food, it was also used for manufacturing clothes, tools and shelter. For some cultures, this is an important part of their life, not just because it helps them to survive, it also forms part of its tradition and identity. However, over the time, this practice has changed greatly, from the way that people hunt and the…
