It might seem lonely at the top of the world, but the North Pole is teeming with life! Polar bears, walruses, and arctic seals make their home on sea ice that can be nine feet thick while the Inuit and other indigenous peoples continue their traditions and means for survival in this harsh climate. Along with the early twentieth-century story of Robert Peary’s egomaniacal quest to reach the exact spot of the North Pole, this is an exciting new addition to the Where Is? series.
在世界的頂端，北極似乎是一個孤獨的地方，但它其實充滿了生命！北極熊、海象和北極海豹居住在厚達九英尺的海冰上，而因紐特人和其他土著民族在這種嚴酷的氣候下繼續著他們的傳統和生存方式。除了20世紀初羅伯特·皮爾利 (Robert Peary) 為了自己的野心而追尋到達北極點的故事外，這是「Where Is?」系列令人興奮的新作品。
