Arctic Lights, Arctic Nights by Debbie S. Miller

Month by month, the Arctic changes. From the northern lights to extreme temperature changes to 21 hours of light and dark, the Arctic offers uniqueness! Beautiful descriptions and illustrations accompany each month's documentation of hours of daylight, sunrise, sunset, average highs, and average lows. Here you will meet the beauty of nature and of the living creatures who are specially adapted to live in this extreme environment.
