This Arctic guide is truly an impressive book! Featuring amazing pictures and facts to the flora and fauna we find in the northernmost regions of the world. With amazing color illustrations, this one-of-a-kind book covers the full range of wildlife - more than 800 species of plants, butterflies, fish, birds and mammals - living in the Arctic tundra, taiga, sea ice and in the sea. The guide can be used throughout the entire Holarctic region, including as diverse areas as the Arctic islands of Canada, Norway, Svalbard, Siberia, the Russian Far East, Alaska and the islands of Berings Sea.
Detailed descriptions of each species like the size, habitat, feeding behaviour, scientific name, as well as what unique characteristics they own that enable these organisms to survive in extreme conditions so far north. A great book by all means!
