These pictures of this hat remind me of winter, and in winter you sled. So then that reminded me of the dog sledding races.
Some facts are...

When did dog sledding start?
- it is said to have started around the 1400's
What were the first inuit dog sleds made out of
-the sled was made of frozen fish split in half and laid end to end, the wrapped in seal hide which were wrapped up in more seal hide. These two runners were then held together by bones or antlers. The layer between the runner and the snow was a bunch of mud glazed together with water.
What are they made of no.
-lumber held together and bound by sealskin The layer between the runner and the snow is a special type or very hard plastic


These 3 penguin pictures reminded me of  Santa. Santa lives in the north Pole, so some facts about north pole are...

Differences between the south and north pole
-the north pole is one large block of ice resting on a sea of  shifting ice where the south pole is on an actual land mass

Some other facts about the north pole are

-the sea depth has been measured at 4,261 meters by the Russian Mir submersible and then measured 4,037 meters by the USS Nautilus.
-the nearest land is an island off of greenland which is called the Kaffeklubben Island and is about 700 km away from the north pole
(4,261 m = 13,980 ft) (4,037 m = 13,410 ft) (700 km = 430 mi.)
