The Fearless Vikings(How my 100% Norwegian Grandma always refers to the Vikings)

The arctic habitat has lots of snow, icebergs, and freezing cold temperatures. There are many different animal species that live there, including penguins, seals, and other creatures with thin fur. Plants only grow during the brief spring and summer. The soil is made up of rocks and remnants of dead animals. Some of the threats to the habitat include predators eating too many penguins and homes being destroyed. The arctic can be found at the North and South Poles and in the Arctic Ocean region.
