You can't see the sun for more than two months, even at midday. The summer days are long. For more than two months, the sun never goes down and there's no night.

Eskimos have warm clothes. They make their clothes from the skins of animals. From skins (皮毛) they make coats, caps and shoes. Near the North Pole trees can't grow, for it is too cold there.
