Subarctic Berries and Images Thereof

I have observed that numerous of my readers are very concerned about some “Subarctic Berries” and images thereof that I have posted. For all of you that truly wish to learn something about survival-and about Arctic Survival per say; all, or most, of the berries, lichens, vegetables and even some of the trees that I mention and/or show as viable survival foods can be found and are often quite numerous above the Arctic Circle. the Arctic  is NOT just one huge block of ice- when compared with some locations much further south, there is very little snow fall and the plants are

NOT SUB ARCTIC. 

The Arctic Circle

The Arctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that marks maps of the earth. Presently it is the parallel of latitude that runs approximately 66 degrees north of the equator. It is the southernmost latitude in the northern hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above(during which time all plants experience extremely quick growth); or below the horizon for 24 continuous hours (June solstice and December solstice respectively). Prudhoe Bay and Barrow Alaska, Inuvik, Tuktoyaktuk, Kugluktuk, Banks Island, Victoria Island Cambridge Bay, Gjoa Haven, Resolute, Repulse Bay, Igloolik, Baffin Island, Alert, Elsmere, Claude River are all north of the Arctic Circle (Arctic  map: http://www.athropolis.com/map2.htm). Just to the south is the Northern Temperate Zone.

The Dempster Highway

The Dempster Highway is the most northerly public highway in Canada taking you 734 kilometres from the gold fields of Dawson City to the Arctic Ocean. The Dempster Highway is the only public highway in the Western Hemisphere that actually allows you to cross the Arctic Circle in a car.
