Welcome to Arctic Wildlife Knowledge
Discover the wonders of the North: Your complete guide to Arctic life – uncovering the secrets of wildlife, vegetation, and climate in Earth’s frozen frontier
DID YOU KNOW?
The Arctic Region harbours over 21,000 identified species, including mammals, birds, fish, invertebrates, plants, fungi, and microorganisms, all adapted to thrive in extremely cold environments.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world’s five major oceans. It spans an area of approximately 14,060,000 km2 (5,430,000 sq mi)
DID YOU KNOW?
The Arctic is home to the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. This natural light display is a mesmerizing phenomenon caused by the interaction between charged particles from the Sun and the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere.
Learn With Us
Here at Arctic Wildlife Knowledge, we’ve created what one might call a digital sanctuary of understanding. A place where the mysteries of the North unfold before your eyes. Whether you’re curious about the remarkable hunting strategies of the Snowy Owl, the delicate beauty of Arctic Cotton Grass dancing in the midnight sun, or indeed the complex relationships between climate, ice formation, and the survival of species – you’ll find it all here, meticulously documented and lovingly shared.
Our experiences – tracking polar bears across the sea ice, observing the spectacular Aurora Borealis paint the sky, and documenting the brief but explosive abundance of Arctic summer life – have given us a profound understanding of this remarkable ecosystem. We’ve collaborated with indigenous communities, worked alongside leading scientists, and witnessed first-hand the dramatic changes occurring in this sensitive region of our world.
