THE COLDEST PLACE IN EARTH

The Arctic region is covered with snow and ice for almost the whole year. The temperature in the middle of the winter can go down to -60˚ F. (-51˚ C). When it gets this cold frost forms on eyebrows and eyelashes. It is colder than inside a freezer.

The areas where Eskimos live are covered by snow and ice most of the year. When they hunt in cold weather they wear clothes made out of caribou hide and sealskin. In the past Eskimos were nomads who lived in igloos made of snow in winter and tents in summer. Now most live in one place all year.

WARM CLOTHES TO WEAR

What animals do Eskimos hunt?
When Eskimos kill animals they use the meat for food, the fat for fuel and the hide for clothes.
Whale, Walrus, Seal, Salmon, Hare, Duck, Ptarmigan









FYI: Much of Alaska is covered with snow and ice. That means that it is hard to get fresh vegetables. The Eskimos include raw meat in their diet so that they can get enough vitamins.

HOT...HOT...HOT

THE WORLD’S HOTTEST PLACES



In North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula there are deserts where very little rain falls. In this region temperatures even in the shade rise to 100˚ F. (38˚ C) and sometimes can go as high as 120˚ F. (49˚ C), about the same as a very hot bath. The sand and stones in direct sunlight are hot enough to burn you if you touch them.




Deserts have almost no rainfall. But deep inside the earth underground rivers sometimes flow. People in the desert must dig deep wells to reach this water or they must find special places where the water has come to the surface. Such a place is called an oasis.

Kiss

WHEN DID THE CUSTOM OF KISSING START?


Hmm…Kissing was practiced in ancient times to show respect for those above you. In ancient Rome the people of the upper class greeted each other with a kiss on the mouth or eye. But nowadays kissing on the lips or cheek is a sign of love and trust between family members, friends, and couples. At a wedding, the kiss is a special symbol of the bond between the husband and wife.





In some tribes in Africa practiced the custom of kissing the ground the chief has walked on. It’s one way for tribe members to show their respect.
