Life in the Arctic

An interesting synopsis of life in the arctic. I’m intrigued by arctic life, since I think it is pretty close to space travel, in some ways. At least, it is the most extreme environment that we as a species have experienced besides space. As this site says: “Clothing extremely tailored.B The closest we know of to a space suit.
a. Waterproof seams. Fully insulated.
b. Always made by women. Those without a wife who was a competent seamstress risked death.”
