Towns on the brink

Via @Arcticlass on Twitter (thanks Sharon)

There are plenty of web resources shared by the UP HERE journal, whose tagline is 'Explore Canada's Far North'

I love the illustrations in this piece, which mentions somewhere I taught about for many years: Tuktoyaktuk...
Home of the pingoes...

It talks about the changes that are happening to the landscape as a result of reducing sea ice in terms of coastal erosion and changes to the rhythms of the year.
Plenty of useful detail here for a piece on resilience in extreme environments - a topic that would be of particular relevance for colleagues teaching exam specifications such as the Edexcel GCE Geography

Why not take the NORTH POLL (like the title) quiz to find out how much you know about the far north... Can you beat my score of 56%... ??
