The Land of the Inuits

The Inuit have lived in the Arctic for thousands of years. Some areas formerly occupied by the Inuit are no longer inhabited.

The lands where the Inuit live is cold and harsh.  They have long cold winters and short, cool summers. There is a lot of snow.  On the average there are between 15 and 90 inches of snow each year.  The snow doesn't melt until spring, and winter storms can force people to remain inside for days at a time.
