Chapter 666 663: Catching Puffins
Most people directly assume that the climate of Greenland is a polar ice cap climate, but in actuality, the area around Nuuk in the southern part of the island exhibits a polar tundra climate, while the northern uninhabited regions are characterized by a polar ice cap climate.
The tundra climate is mainly distributed along the northern edges of the North American Continent and the Eurasian Continent, parts of the coastline of Greenland, and several islands in the Arctic Ocean.
The ice cap climate, on the other hand, is found in polar regions and their nearby areas, including Greenland, several islands in the Arctic Ocean, and the ice cap plateaus of Antarctica.
These are the places where the Arctic and Antarctic air masses originate, with perpetual night throughout the winter and perpetual daylight in the summer half of the year; however, the sunlight is slanted, and the heat it provides is feeble, resulting in a cold climate all year round, with temperatures below 0°C every month.
Most Inuit people live in a tundra climate, where from springtime the snow on the ground gradually melts, revealing green lichen or moss, and rivers aren't always frozen, allowing at least a window of time when they're unfrozen.
However, Bi Fang's current location boasts an ice cap climate that is even more severe than the tundra.
Otherwise, lichens and moss wouldn't be so scarce that one might have to
Puffins are innately happy-go-lucky; they are animals that love to socialize, often gathering in large groups to play and rest.
And the places where they congregate vary; sometimes they gather along the coast, other times they drift in groups on the sea surface or in the snow.
This was why Bi Fang had encountered them here.
But because of a lack of materials, Bi Fang didn't have a net cage or any other kind of rope to catch birds with.
He could only tie a shovel to a tree stick, making it into a sharp weapon, hoping to get lucky and knock out a puffin, and of course, catching more would be even better.
By now, Bi Fang had stealthily advanced within ten meters, and the puffins were still none the wiser.
In terms of sheer survival skills, puffins were quite adept; they could fly, swim, dive, catch fish, even strut with a swaggering gait. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
As a result, there weren't many predators in the Arctic that could threaten them, leaving them without much vigilance, which gave Bi Fang his opportunity.
With that thought, Bi Fang suddenly charged out!
