Welcome to the Arctic, the icy, remote land at the very topof the world ...
Most of the Arctic is a big frozen sea with a few areas of land around the edges. Come and spend 24 hours with the animals that live there ...
In most of the world, each 24-hour period is part day, part night - long days in summer, long nughts in winter. At the poles, though, there is no dark night in summer and no bright day in winter. Arctic (DK 24 Hours) takes you through an April day with animals that live there.
