The Arctic Circle covers the northernmost part of the earth. It includes parts of Canada, USA, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. In the very middle is the Arctic Ocean, covered by a large sheet of floating ice. Lots of different animals live in the Arctic Circle, and have adapted to this cold and harsh environment. Most of them live on barren land called tundra, a frozen area with no trees and only smaller plants. The word Arctic comes from the Greek word for bear.
The Arctic fox travels further north than any other animal and it has the warmest fur too. Its fur is white in winter which gives it camouflage in snow, but in summer it sheds its white fur and grows brown fur instead. It has tiny ears to help protect it from the cold. The Arctic fox mainly eats small animals like voles and lemmings, and it also scavenges for food left behind by polar bears. 8
