Climate
Changing due to global warming
Animals that live further south are moving into the tundra, like the red fox, and they are competing for food with the Arctic foxes.
Permafrost
A layer of frozen soil and dead plants, a icy sheet that is frozen all year round. Melts during summer to let plants grow, lots of animals feed on them.
Global warming is causing them to melt and freeze later, plants growing in there and changing the habitat of the native animals there.
Melting of permafrost is contributing to global warming
Humans
Eskimos
Adaptations
Thick fur, fluffy tail, sharp ears, white coat that changes with the season's colour
