Adventures:
Our last stop on our biome vacation is Nuuk, Greenland! There is a lot of snow and ice. There's pretty much no plants here because it's too cold for them to sustain life. There are a lot of arctic animals though, like polar bears, seals, and walruses. There are also orca whales in the water surrounding the area.
Nuuk is located on the eastern shore of the Labrador Sea, which makes it a great fishing location. A geographical feature of the region is the Sermitsiaq Mountain. We decided to really rough it and hike up to a cave on the mountain and camp there for a few nights. It was extremely cold, but we made it through. One thing we did while we were there was get information about how global warming is affecting the animals that inhabit Nuuk. It's been a great nine weeks around the world, but I'll be happy to be home.
