What environment is habitated in Artic(north pole)?

Answer 1

To the guy called "engineer."   People don't live at the north pole because it's too cold??????"  Fella, it's bloody cold all over the Arctic and sub arctic.  The reason people don't live around the north pole is because there is absolutely no game there.

Answer 2

The North pole itself is nothing but frozen ice.  There is NO inhabitants at the pole itself.  To COLD.  It's always shifting.  There are Ice Breaking ships that go to the pole itself.  The nearest inhabitants are located around the Arctic Circle.  i.e. Eskimo's, Polar Bear's, Arctic Foxes.  As stated by the other respondent the Arctic circle is encompassed by several countries.  HOPE THIS HELPS.

The Arctic is the area around the Earth's North Pole, opposite the Antarctican area around the South Pole. The Arctic includes parts of Canada, Greenland (a territory of Denmark), Russia, United States (Alaska), Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, as well as the Arctic Ocean.

There are numerous definitions of the Arctic region. The boundary is generally considered to be north of the Arctic Circle (66° 33’N), which is the limit of the midnight sun and the polar night. Other definitions are based on climate and ecology, such as the 10°C (50°F) July isotherm, which also roughly corresponds to the tree line in most of the Arctic. Socially and politically, the Arctic region includes the northern territories of the eight Arctic states, including Lapland, although by natural science definitions much of this territory is considered subarctic.

The Arctic is mostly a vast, ice-covered ocean, surrounded by treeless, frozen ground. It teems with life, including organisms living in the ice, fish and marine mammals, birds, land animals and human societies.

The Arctic region is, by its nature, a unique area. The cultures in the region and the Arctic indigenous peoples have adapted to its cold and extreme conditions. From the perspective of the physical, chemical and biological balance in the world, the Arctic region is in a key position. It reacts sensitively particularly to changes in the climate, which reflect extensively back on the global state of the environment. From the perspective of research into climatic change, the Arctic region is considered an early warning system.

Answer 4

There are other people living in the Arctic besides Inuits..there are several oil drilling compounds up there where hundreds of people live.  These are located in the Prudoe Bay area...well into the Arctic circle. It is not covered with ice during the summer...actully it gets covered in wildflowers during that time.
