      Hi,
      I live in the Arctic (about 600 miles south of the North Pole) and have done for 10 years. I haven’t been to the Antarctic, but I would like to go.
      We have a lot of animals here where I live (reindeers, arctic foxes, seals, polar bears). I have seen all of them but I still think my favourite is a polar bear. The last time I saw one was this summer as there was a mother and two cubs just outside of the town where I live.

      I’ve been to the Arctic and I hope to go to Antarctica soon I love penguins! I loved the wildlife up in the Arctic, reindeer, arctic fox and beluga (white) whales. The arctic foxes are really clever and naughty they know that if they get into scientists’ backpacks they can steal sandwiches! I’m very jealous of Lisa seeing a polar bear but actually a mother with cubs is the most dangerous type because she will be very protective of her cubs and despite being cute and fluffy polar bears are super dangerous.
