Subpolar regions include areas just outside the Arctic and Antarctic Circles with long, cold winters and short, mild summers. While subpolar climates exist in both hemispheres, most land in these latitudes in the southern hemisphere benefits from ocean moderation. Common subpolar regions include parts of Canada, Alaska, Scandinavia, northern China, Mongolia, and Siberia. These areas have semi-permanent low pressure systems and experience fur, fishing, and resource booms and busts throughout their history.

Alaska
1. Subpolar regions include all parts of the world
just outside the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
However, the climates considered truly Subpolar
are found only in the northern hemisphere. The
southern hemisphere contains very little land in
these latitudes, and what lands do exist benefit
greatly from the oceans' moderating effects.
2.
3. Sub-polar regions are ones with long, cold
winters, and short, mild summers, and
include areas such as Canada, Alaska, and the
Northern parts of
China, Scandinavia, Mongolia, Siberia, etc.
4. Subpolar
The region bordering the polar
region, between 50° and 70° North and South
latitude.
This is generally an area of semi-permanent
low pressure that exists and where the
Aleutian and Icelandic lows may be found.
5. Floating freshwater
ice is a key

9. Denali (Mount McKinley)
Mount McKinley is the tallest mountain in North America.
It is 20,320 feet tall. Mount McKinley is also called
Denali. Denali is an Athabascan Indian name meaning “The
High One.”
10. Glaciers
Glaciers are made up of
fallen snow that, over many
years, compresses into large,
thickened ice masses.
Glaciers form when snow
remains in one location long
enough to transform into ice.
What makes glaciers unique is
their ability to move. Due to
sheer mass, glaciers flow like
very slow rivers. Some
glaciers are as small as
football fields, while others
grow to be over a hundred
kilometers long.
11. Earthquakes
Alaska has from 10-20 earthquakes every day! The largest
so far was the Great Alaskan Earthquake in 1964. It killed
131 people and caused 300-400 million dollars in damage.
The earthquake was felt in all parts of Alaska, and even
parts of Canada and Washington, and it created waves up to
70 meters high. This was a 6-story apartment building in
Anchorage after the 1964 earthquake.
12. The Northern Lights
(Aurora Borealis)
Aurora Borealis is also known as the
northern lights. It is a fantastic light

from caribou and moose.
18. Long ago, hunters would
put one person on a blanket and
toss them high into the air to
scout for food, as there were no
trees or tall buildings to climb
up and see far away. The
scout, when tossed high, could
look around and find animals and
point the hunters in the right
direction.
Today, the blanket toss is
performed at many festivals and
celebrations in Alaska for a fun
way to preserve a cultural
tradition.

tradition in Alaska. It was started to
keep alive the tradition of using dogs
and sleds as opposed to snowmobiles and
four-wheelers.
The race is over 1,000 miles from
Anchorage to Nome.
A special award is given to the last
person who crosses the finish line. It is
called the Red Lantern award
because, as a joke, they used to say that
the last person was so far behind they
needed a lantern to find the way to
Nome. Now it is a symbol of
perseverance and honor.
26. Alaskan Inuit men
are dancers called
Kaviagamute.
They are performing
the Wolf Dance.

communities continue
the tradition of Inuit
dancing.

steamed dough with filling ( tamal ), but most importantly
as a tortilla, a thin, round "pancake."
Tortillas are made from corn dough and come in many
sizes, although the traditional tortilla that accompanies
most meals has a diameter of approximately six inches (15
centimeters). When tortillas are filled with meat or other
ingredients they are called tacos or quesadillas, which are
especially popular in central Mexico.

chiles, which range from the large and "sweet" chile ancho
to the small and extremely hot chile habanero .

roll.

courses: soup; rice or pasta; meat or chicken—if affordable—
accompanied by tortillas and refried beans; and dessert. Dinner is
served between eight and ten at night and consists mainly of
sweet rolls, coffee, and milk. Mexicans frequently eat outdoors.
Homely restaurants serve inexpensive fixed menus known as
comida corrida . Mexicans drink huge quantities of soft drinks and
beer. Although the national liquor is tequila, which is produced
from the maguey cactus, Mexicans prefer rum with cola during
weddings and other celebrations, or fiestas.
