The people who live in the Far North are called EsKimos. They liveby hunting and fishing. ln their world of ice and snow it is impossible to grow plants for food. ln the summers the only plants that grow in this cold land are a few kinds of grass. The winters are long, cold, and dark. lndeed, in December the sunnever appears above the horizon. There are twenty-four hours of night every day. ln June, on the other hand, there is no night at all. The sun never sets.
