1. Polar bears are excellent hunters who eat lots of seals. First they use their sense of smell to find seals. Seals hunt underwater but must surface to breathe. Then polar bears wait for the seal to surface for air. They may wait hours for this. Polar bears are very patient hunters. Then, when the seal comes up for air, the polar bear grabs it.

2. Getting to the North Pole is not easy. The fastest way is by airplane. That will only take you to Norway though. Then you need to take a boat. The boat will take you to an island called Barneo, which is about 60 miles from the North Pole. Then you can fly to the North Pole by helicopter. That's the fastest way to get to the North Pole.

3. There are strange dancing lights in the Arctic skies. Some call these the northern lights. If you want to see the northern lights, the first thing that you have to do is go out at night. You won't see them in the day. Next you have to get somewhere high. A mountain top should work. Then you have to wait. If you get lucky and your timing is right, you should see this stunning phenomenon. Good luck!
