Arctic Monsters
Try to imagine the dangers of living in the Arctic-what comes to mind? Did you think about the winter blizzards that bring powerful winds and blinding snow? It is true that blizzards are dangerous, as you can easily lose your way if you are not careful. Did you think of the dangers of travelling on the sea ice? It is true that the sea ice can shift and break, and can take people far out to sea away from their homes. Perhaps you imagined the huge animals, like polar bears or wolves? You would be correct, as these animals are large and strong, and need to be respected at all times.
But this book is not about those dangers. This book is about the dangers that lurk in the northern darkness and in the remote places of the Arctic. As you turn the pages of this book, you will be introduced to the things that go bump in the Arctic nights. This book is about Arctic monsters!
If you listen to hunters and elders telling stories about the North, you will find that some of the stories make reference to strange things that have been encountered on the tundra or sea ice.
