Arctic Issues

I previously posted information about the NOVA PBS/ tv series "ARCTIC PASSAGE". In following the "books and links" from the "ARCTIC PASSAGE" webpage http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/arctic/ , I found three additional very helpful sites concerning Arctic geography subjects including human geography:
Arctic Studies Centerwww.mnh.si.edu/arctic/index.htmlThe National Museum of Natural History's Arctic Studies Center hosts a Web site dedicated to the culture of northern peoples. Explore issues of history, archeology, and social change.
NOAA Arctic Theme Pagewww.arctic.noaa.gov/index.shtmlThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides information on Arctic research, including a climate index, photo gallery, articles, and more.
Arctic Conservation www.panda.org/about_wwf/where_we_work/arctic/index.cfmThe WWF offers a Web site devoted to Arctic conservation, policy, and species protection. Learn about current issues affecting the region through audio and video clips, interviews, photos, and articles.

I received this notice from NOVA today about the Arctic Passage. NOVA/PBS programs have websites that provide all kinds of resources for teachers. See the teacher resource website for this program @ http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/arctic/. This website provides information about the program including: watching the program online, related books & links, teacher guides & lesson plans, transcripts, slide shows and interactive activities.

I also found another great teacher website about snow:
