2 I researched the polar regions. The climate of this region:  Average temperature during the summer: 20°F or -6.66°C)  Average temperature during the winter - 30°F or -34.44°C  Highest wind speeds in Antarctica : Over 200 miles or 322 km per hour  Average precipitation in Antarctica is less than two inches or 5 cm

3 Canada has places that contain this kind of environment. These places are in the artic circle. The artic circle includes: Part of each:  Yukon,  Nunavut,  Northwest Territories Some of the conditions that make it hard to survive include the following:  Cold weather  Extreme amounts of snow and ice  Extreme altitudes  Scarce amount of food

4 The obstacles of exploring this environment:  Cold Environment  Large amounts of snow and ice  Dangerous animals  Thin air altitude Why is it important to investigate this region? To know the changes of:  Weather  Climate Change  Global Warming  Melting Ice  And Temperature

5 Polar Expedition: Who, When, and What  John Franklin  1819 to 1822 and 1825 to 1827  He proved there was the Northwest Passage (a water route)  Technology used to explore these areas:  A rover called a Yeti  It has a special skin, and electric motor and ATV tires.  Snowshoes  Snowmobiles

7 Ways to explore this region responsibly:  Don’t litter  Don’t leave anything but footprints or maybe cameras too  Take the smallest amounts of things to be observed  Try not to make global warming more of a problem  Do not disturb the animals in that region
