The Eskimos There are many places on the earth where life is difficult for man. it is hard in the high mountains of Bolivia and Tibet; it is hard in the jungles of the Amazon.

There are no people only on the great sheets of ice that cover Greenland and Antarctica, and on the highest mountain tops, where the air is too thin to breathe. Man has even got used to living in deserts, in rain forests, and in frozen regions near the North pole
