Beat and cold and see the while lands and its habitats
A polar region situated at the northernmost part of Earth, the Arctic comprises the Arctic Ocean, adjacent seas, and parts of Alaska in the United States, Canada, Finland, Greenland in Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden. The lands of the Arctic are covered in snow with treeless habitats. The kind of snow you will find most on the lands of the Arctic is seasonal sea ice. And amongst these snow-covered lands are naturally surviving wilds making this region their home. This wilderness is also best enjoyed with the fun activities that the place has to offer. So here is a list of things that you can do in the Arctic.
Go Polar Bear watching, and smile
Polar Bears are the animals of the Arctic. They roam around free in the white landscapes spending time and also hunting for their meals. The sighting of a polar bear is just like that of a Tiger in the jungle, it can’t be promised but one can always try their luck. The places to go for polar bear sightings are Spitsbergen in Norway, the coasts of Greenland, Wapusk National Park in Northern Canada, Northwest Passage of Northern Canada, Wrangel Island in the Russian Arctic, Churchill in Manitoba, and Hudson Bay.

The many cruises that sail through the Arctic region offer the adventure of kayaking through the icy waters. Of course, you will be directed to the calm shores and guided by the ship.
