- Beginning my journey through the Circumpolar North, and not having much knowledge to start with. I needed start with defining what exactly the Circumpolar North was
"Roughly speaking, this term refers to the area encompassed by the Arctic and the Subarctic
biogeographical zones. For political purposes it includes the following states:
Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, USA, Canada, Greenland [Denmark], and Iceland."
- While I began my research of the Circumpolar I began to realize how without really paying attention to the world I live in it is continously changing around me. Continental and climate changes began millions of years ago, and yet today land continues to shift, and more and more people take notice to the changing climates in the North.
- Without over exhausting the global warming issue I discovered in an article that the burning of fossil fuels have uncovered some fossils of its own. The impact of climate change was unavoidable in the Yukon as melting ice has uncovered ancient artifacts.Geologists working in the Wernecke Mountains northeast of Mayo, Yukon, have uncovered microfossils that are twice as old as the dinosaurs.
