Description
Summary:This Air Force document was written to provide survival and environmental information about the Arctic. It details techniques used in the American Arctic by man in his quest for food and water insofar as they are related to snow, ice, and permafrost, and to evaluate these techniques and the changes that have occurred in them in terms of today's needs. Structure and landforms and climate are discussed. The users of the Arctic: the Eskimos, the Explorers, and the settlers are also discussed. Food supply covers such items as seals, ice hunting, sea mammals, caribou, bird hunting, fishing, vegetable foods, and food storage in the Arctic.
