The Canadian Arctic's barren land, with relativey few organisms, and known for cold winters and cool summers. In the winter, the average temperature's around -40 degrees Celsius. Also, it's precipitation comes in the form of snow. The animals aren't overly diverse and hostile, but they can be at times. Hungry polar bears wander on land when the Hudson bay is melted, and Arctic wolves might try something if you're in the middle of nowhere, all alone.

The map you see above is of the Arctic. The original languages of the Inuit were Siberian Yupik and Inuktitut, but later on adapted the languages Engish and French when the Europeans arrived. There were also the Denee and Cree people, who spoke Denee and Cree.

Funny enough, the Arctic wasn't always a cold wasteland. It used to be a nice lush place during the Cretaceous (a geological period where the climate was relatively warm). Animals would migrate to the north to take advantage of the summer growing season. There was the occasional snow of course, but it wasn't enough to hinder plant growth.
The history of the land wasn't too exciting, but recently (by recenty I mean over the past 50 years or so), thing have been going badly. The Inuit pople used to live in the Arctic, living off of the environment andrespecting it. They were nomadic, meaning they were always travelling. They would travel and follow the caribou herds, for they were the Inuit's main source of food. Thye lived this way for quite some time, until the Europenas arrived. They forced the Inuit people to abandon their nomadic ways and put them into villages, where people were crowded into households and were no longer able to follow their main source of food. Within these towns, people starved. Some of the population also took up drinking, for the Europeans introduced it to them. Overall, it was a hellish environment. Things got slightly better later on, but the environment is still less than ideal.
